highs, lows & the mess in the middle |
Happiness: Café Populart, diet cokes, great laughs, caipirinhas, The Shadow of the Wind. cloudy days, sleeping in,
soccer & politics.
I do social media/digital marketing for a poverty-fighting foundation. In my future lives I hope to be a photographer, a travel magazine editor and a professional tourist. I hail from: Palo Alto, Cambridge, Jamaica Plain, Gallup, El Paso, Williamstown, Madrid, Washington DC, Oaxaca, Barcelona & NYC (currently). ME | I LIKE | HIGHS & LOWS | FOTOS |
High: I completed the paper of doom (!!). I was introduced to Pisticci, which has to be the best restaurant I’ve been to in NYC in a very long time. Did I mention they had live jazz — with a vocalist. A very nice older gentleman (75+) insisted I take his seat at the bar as we were waiting for our table.
Low: I spent the whole weekend, aside from the past 4 hours, cooped up working.
high: we made it to argentina! no delays, no visa problems. the food rocks. everything is cheapish.
low: we are down one bag. it kiiinda felt like summer today, but we packed for winter.
* combined since we still haven’t pieced together a full night of sleep.
high: a pretty dress
low: knee pain, mega
high: I am no longer the new girl. The Managing Director of Leadership Giving said, “Julia, you better not f*** this up.”
low: I f***ed it up.
high: bed. soup.
low: i’m sick. again.
high: the hangover (exceeded expectations)
low: I was late to a meeting to which I should have been on time
REALLY FREAKING BIG high: The new CD from my favorite musician was released! Listen to samples here. ***In fact, be the first person—who has not been to one of his shows—to email me at talk.to.jules@gmail.com and I’ll gift you the album on itunes. *** In the running for top songs: Dive Bar, June, Peace of Mind & Coffee & Wine.
low: Two of my favorite New York gals are calling it quits. One’s moving to Cali, the other is off for a summer in Europe then moving to Boston. I have two less freeends :(
high: not having to attend thursday’s 90-minute postmortem on our fundraiser because my last day of work is wednesday!!!
low: cleaning out my desk. I had three years worth of crap hidden away. I came home to 5 pairs of shoes I forgot I had. kidding! kind of.
high: A nice phone call and a nicer email. I’ve had PHENOMENAL bosses.
low: The wine store was closed a second night in a row.
high: wine at work
low: worked past 10
High: Visitors, Skipping, Being funny
Low: Nervous!
BREAKING NEWS: The Obama family does “Roses & Thorns” of the day. JUST like MY highs & lows.
I should consider a rename: “Roses | Thorns and the Stems in the middle? “HAHA. But honestly, the fact that they do this somehow makes it more acceptable that I force my family & friends to indulge me every day.
UPDATE: I changed it. for now.
High: Sleeping in.
Low: My apartment is a mess.
