- Yes, I took this picture with my new Mac. I’m really into it right now, even though I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. Which explains why the picture is such an odd color. I don’t really know what I’m doing with any program right now. I really need to go to a class or some sort of seminar. Because I know this computer can do a whole lot more than I even know is possible. #iwanttobeyoungandhipandmacsmart.
- Plantain chips. Get the f*ck out of my house.
- So get this. The other night, I needed a little chocolate fix, but chocolate by itself didn’t sound right. SO I took some chipotle dark chocolate, mixed it with coconut butter and just a lil bit of raw honey, melted and placed in into the fridge. Now I have chocolate bark on hand in times of need. Meaning, as I type this.
- Scarves. I freaking love scarves. If it weren’t for scarves, I would truly hate Colorado. It snowed here yesterday and having to clean my car off made me REAL annoyed. Ok, not really. But my fingers were cold. But I had to clean it off next to the molester van…that hasn’t moved in 4 days. What the hell. Selfish assh*le.
- I freaking LOVE leggings with boots and long shirts. I don’t exactly love wearing jeans, as you know, but I can handle leggings. Especially if the shirt is covering up my big bootie. Someone told me that it just brings more attention to my butt, but it feels right, so I’m going with it. Fall outfits are the best. Snow is the worst.
- I want booties. Not more butt, but the shoe kind of booties. They are so damn cute.
- My new crockpot. My friend Aaron was incredibly kind to send me an awesome new crockpot, since mine wasn’t doing so hot. This thing has a locking lid and you can even measure the temperature of food. So high tech. I have so many things to figure out how to use now. Thanks Aaron, you’re the best.
- Dating but not actually wanting to date. Wait, what? I don’t know. But I always seem to be into that. I like the thought of dating, but don’t want to try to date more. I’m such a girl. A confusing, dumb girl.
- Parting my hair on the opposite side than I’ve parted it in 24 years. My hair doesn’t want to do it, but I’m forcing it to. I look weird. But I’m kind of digging it.
- My sweet potato brownies in the freezer. Found out, that after you bake these amazing brownies, place them in the freezer and they become extra chewy. Wicked awesome.
Oh and guess what?! I just saw I made it into the Huffington Post for my poutine recipe!! Woot woot!!
Speaking of places you are — I am on the mailing list for this east coast CSA that delivers to a few states (Florida, Georgia, and Alabama I think). Anyway, every week they send out an email with the next week’s selection, along with a recipe that uses one or more of the veg. Okay, so that was a super long intro but to make it short — last week they had your pumpkin cashew curry over coconut rice in the email newsletter! Seriously! *high five*
what?!?! that’s so cool! Thanks for telling me Rachel!
You look beautiful in the photo! Thanks for your posts – you’re my dose of girl talk. 🙂
Feel free to post as many pictures as you like as long as you are smiling! Those pick up the long days at work!
Just wanted to say your posts make me laugh and I look forward to reading them every day and if a new one isn’t up I read old ones! Agree with the leggings…i have to go that route too…but if it means I can lift heavier why not!
Have my first competition tomorrow…super super nervous…any advice????
it’s just like any other workout! you’ll do great, stay calm and always smile!
I don’t really know you but gosh I really like you!! You make me smile and laugh and you are a great source of encouragement to me. Thank you for your honesty, humility and sarcasm. Your recipes are amazing and my friends and family love them and they don’t even follow a paleo lifestyle. I agree winter is amazing for scarves, leggings and boots. I am also loving leg warmers this year!
My boss just got back from colorado and i told him i was totally jealous! And that he needed to keep an eye out for some Paleo friendly people/bakeries/goodies. He said he couldnt find anything paleo but “they looked like your kind of people”. Perhaps I should move?
We are about to get a hurricane…I would take snow over a hurricane anyday…I just want to ski!!
Love your blog!!
Juli~
You look fabulous with your hair down! Very pretty!
Also, thanks much for the Civilized Caveman link, looks beautiful!
Congrats on the Huffington Post post!
Jami
ps There is a chocolate macaroon with your name on it at the shop. Can you hear it calling to you? “Eat me, Juli…please, wait no longer, give in to my calling! YUM!”
Ummmm I do the same thing with dating. Literally just the word alone gives me hives…..yet I went on one the other night and agreed to another with the same guy. Seriously – what sense does that make?!?! I blame the fact that we have vaginas for this discrepancy.
Juli-
You’re adorable. As a girl with an actual big butt (like, boot cut jeans are my skinny jeans)–you’re fine.
That being said–I’m a hit with the Hispanic and Black men, but HOLY CRAP–I don’t care what you’re ethnicity is, I just want to stay in, read a book, cook some meat, and drink some wine. If this Paleo diet is supposed to give all of us all this energy–why don’t I have the energy to date? (Does Paleo have adverse effects on libido? Cavemen wanted to procreate–what’s my problem?!) And-I date. I just hate it.
I hate jeans too and would live in sweatpants like I did in college….stupid grown up professional world. But I have the opposite problem; no butt. I was actually jean shopping today and my hubby actually made that comment too after I tried some on…awesome haha.
