"Perhaps women wear low necklines to filter out the gentlemen from the dogs."
Shopping expedition today! Most exciting, it was. My first stop was Sephora, for new mascara (in black) and lip gloss (in "Rare Rubies"). The former is wonderfully waterproof (it got put to the test today, with smashing results), and the latter is a deep, shimmery, translucent red, which is pretty near exactly what I wanted ( Read more... ) -
"While clothes do not...make the man...they can add a certain spice to the recipe."
While out shopping yesterday, Heather and I stopped at Anthropologie, where I discovered a dress that I covet madly. Two problems: 1) it is a dress (I have worn a dress exactly once in the last year), and 2) it is $178. But it is über-comfy and looks good on me (in my humble opinion). Thus, I submit it for your judgement. And also because I am ( Read more... ) -
"I know you're not too busy; you avoid work like the plague. Unless it actually is the plague."
I have officially rejoined the ranks of the working. Today, I had my first temp assignment in five and a half months, and next Tuesday, I start a part-time (three days a week) assignment in Bethesda that should last at least a month ( Read more... ) -
"Shoes like these should not be locked in a closet!"
I am bored, so you get link-spammed. Fun, no?
Final Harry Potter book blasted for containing spoilers!
"The least [Rowling] could have done was put a spoiler alert or something on the front cover," rage devastated fans.

"You know that moment after you've been dead for a while...? No, I guess you don't."
Am coveting this dress like mad. In red, methinks. Alas, I am fairly certain that I am too short to look good in it.
In other news, I hate being redundant at work. My replacement (who still seems like a nice enough girl, and reasonably competent) was more or less fully trained by last Friday, which means that I essentially have no job. And I ( Read more... ) -
'Attention scammers, swindlers, and ladies who spit in public...'
It is cold here. Freakishly cold, I tell you. Not like it is in New York or the Midwest, no, but still very cold. With wind chill, it's eight degrees. It's supposed to get down to eight degrees without wind chill tonight. With wind chill, it will almost certainly be below zero ( Read more... ) -
Morsels or loaves? Or perhaps logs?
Today continued the recent trend of phenomenal Sundays (last Sunday being a major exception). It rained. All night. And all morning. Then it paused for a couple hours early in the afternoon (long enough for me to get home dry), and now it's pouring again. It is heavenly. I was so wet when I got to church, and I just could not stop grinning. ( Read more... ) -
'She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows....'
H&M has über-cute denim skirts for summer. *want*
And I have new, red, canvas flats for summer. Because it is summer and time for canvas. And red makes me happy. And...Fourth of July clichés. I'm afraid you'll have to forgive me.
What? Pictures? *grumbles* ( Oh, fine, then.... )
