Things I Am Rationally Afraid Of

1. Signing a mortgage during the single worst week possible.

2. Cirrhosis.

3. Looking for love in all the wrong places.

4. Termites.

5. Writing memoirs.

6. Letting my babies grow up to be cowboys.

7. Low-rise jeans

8. My tendency to crave things I find at ABC Carpet & Home

9. Sarah Palin

10. For some unforeseen reason being unable to fully enjoy the glorious experience of Willie tonight at Rockefeller Center (Oh, no, wait. That's categorized under "irrational.")

  1. Palin makes my top 10 list too. It's the witchcraft thing and the certainty that god is making a way for her. Infallibility has disorienting effect, a faulty premise that leads to regrettable consequences.

  2. I was recommended your book by a friend and I LOVE it!
    Are you planning to write another?

  3. I firmly believe that God is making a way for Sarah Palin. But then I believe that God is insane and has it in for me and everything I hold dear.

  7. Dear Ms. Powell,

    I am a librarian at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN. I maintain a blog at http://www.lubinlib.typepad.com. I am in the process of writing an article about the place of blogs and social media in 21st century food writing, and I would be thrilled if I could have your permission to include excerpts from the Julie / Julia Project in my article.

    Please contact me at the email address for "Reference Desk" on the following page: http://www.fao.org/library/contacts.htm

    I look forward to hearing from you soon!

  8. Doggone it, now, I'm fixin' to hate on Sarah Palin, here, but I've had four too many pints of IPA to make a rational point.

    Darn it.

  10. I am rationally afraid of all those things. And bears!

    Since you're about to become part of the homeowning society, can I send you the galleys of my memoir, Gimme Shelter (Simon & Schuster, 3/09)?

    Good luck!

  11. Julie,
    I just finished reading your book. It was witty, candid, both hysterical and sad at times but oh, so human. I loved it. Thank you for sharing your quest for purpose and meaning and doing it with such flair. (You inspired me to write my first comment to a blog.) Your determination and stick-to-a-tism makes you a winner. Congrats on your new house and much happiness in the future.

  19. Not if you have a solid lead assignment process backed by a distribution or routing software system suitable for your business.
