Adventures in JulieLand: May 2009
http://julieland.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 25, 2009. It's hard to be a baller when your money is the dollar. I had heard that Paris was expensive, but holy crap! I was not pepared for the speed at which I would be hemmorhaging money. Some examples of what I am seeing at the cafés in my neighborhood:. Tea and Cake: 8 euros. Salad with baked goat cheese: 12 euros. Bottle of water at a cafe 4 euros. Cheapest fixed-price lunch: 18 euros. Living in Paris. priceless (? Thursday, May 21, 2009. Cles of New York. Day 1: Sort-of Belgian day.

Adventures in JulieLand: December 2010
http://julieland.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 18, 2010. Utah Canyoneering - take 4. Traveling across southern Utah means driving on state highway 12, which is probably one of the most scenic roads in the world. It goes through impossible canyons, over mountains blanketed with Aspen trees, and then through tumbles of red, red rocks. We spent a lot of time gawking from the car, and had to pull over frequently for pictures. We also did some hiking :). This (the bumpy rocks with the trees) is actually the trail. Day 5: Head back towar...

Adventures in JulieLand: December 2009
http://julieland.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 30, 2009. There are so many things that I dislike about the holiday season:. Stressed-out people yelling at each other (or me). Long lines at the grocery store. But of course I enjoy the days off, and I have to admit that I look forward to the annual Family Quality Time on Christmas Eve. Here's this year's commemorative photo. Hope everyone got to spend some Quality Time with their friends and family too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). San Francisco, CA. There was an error in this gadget.

Adventures in JulieLand: June 2010
http://julieland.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 20, 2010. OMG, OMG, I actually bought the farm! I've been silent on this blog for a while, but something exciting has just happened in Julieland. Two days ago, I became the official owner of a piece of property in western Sonoma county, just outside of Healdsburg. Yup, it's 3.25 acres of countryside with a modest little 3 bedroom house on it. And now its ALL MINE! And I am gonna grow all kinds of delicious stuff on it. At this point you might be saying, "Excuse me, WTF are you talking about?

Adventures in JulieLand: The first weekend
http://julieland.blogspot.com/2010/07/first-weekend.html
Tuesday, July 06, 2010. This is the beginning of what will surely be a long, drawn out saga of home improvement. Brace yourselves. In case you missed my last post, I bought a house. And some land. Not that much, but enough to keep a city girl pretty busy. It's three and a quarter acres. And a three bedroom house from the 70s. And when I say that it's from the 70s, WOW, it is really from the 70s. See for yourself:. Yup, this really is a stone wall in my bathroom. And the cutesy country kitchen.

Adventures in JulieLand: Just another day in Paradise
http://julieland.blogspot.com/2009/10/just-another-day-in-paradise.html
Tuesday, October 06, 2009. Just another day in Paradise. I know, I just quoted a lame Phil Collins song, and I'm sorry if it's now stuck in your head or you're reminiscing about watching him perform it at the Grammys many years ago like my brother and I did when we were kids and didn't yet realize that the Grammys suck. Maybe I can justify the ridiculously indulgent month of September by declaring it my "Birthday Month"? Also went on a boat trip to Molokini, the tiny island off the coast which is actuall...

Adventures in JulieLand: July 2009
http://julieland.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2009. I've been back in the US for a few weeks now, but I never got around to posting any sort of recap of my trip to Europe. So I thought I'd share a few confessions/revelations/photos to summarize the time I spent there:. What is it about Berlin that turns me into an all-night-party fiend? I hung out in smoky bars and danced to cheesy euro-pop music till the sun came up. Ah Berlin, I' hab Di' Lieb. I am convinced that the French stay skinny by smoking instead of eating. Just sayin'.

Adventures in JulieLand: Heartwrenchingly Beautiful
http://julieland.blogspot.com/2009/11/heartwrenchingly-beautiful.html
Saturday, November 07, 2009. Yup, that's right. I used the phrase "heartwrenchingly beautiful" as the title of this post. Because even though I hate to admit it (I have a reputation to maintain here), when I look at the amazing scenery in southern Utah, it makes my heart actually. It's not my fault! It would happen to anyone, I swear! First of all, the stuff that Nature has produced in southern Utah is mind-blowingly beautiful. I took this last year at "the wave" in southern Utah. This year in Arches.
