Oscar Night!
Sundays are pretty much the bane of my existence. I utterly loathe them. However, today I decided to suck it up, ignore the upcoming work week, sit on my futon with some freshly-made pico de gallo, and judge celebrities. Win!
Since I downgraded my Cox package to (intermittent) internet only, I lost most of my vapid style channels, like E! and Bravo. I hate to miss Guiliana making a fool of...

just like for science!
Lindsey: would you subject yourself to unnecessary amounts of radiation to see a research assistant you had a tiny crush on again? and earn $200?
me: crush + $200?
me: I'd do it
me: you can put that $200 towards some sunscreen
me: if that is how science works...
me: it's been awhile
Lindsey: im pretty sure the isotopes cruising through my body would not give me skin cancer...
Lindsey: but that's fine.
me: hahaha
me: I am going to put this convo on my blog
Lindsey: oh, i'm famous!
me: ya!
me: there is this feature to show like, chats
me: that I haven't used yet
me: and I wanna try
Lindsey: i'm also a guinea pig!
Lindsey: just like i am for science.

Oxfords & Saddle Sneaks
All winter, I’ve pined for a pair of oxfords in warm brown leather. I love the lace-up look that emerged last fall, and they look as sophisticated with skinny jeans as a winter white skirt. Being partial to quality, I refused to waste $30-$50 on a knock-off pleather pair, leaving me no choice but to swoon over these J. Crew beauties:

Unfortch, at $250.00 a pop,...

Happy Birthday, Joe!
Today is the BF’s 25th! Happy Birthday love, can’t wait to see you tonight. Since I’m not making a cake, here is one I found for you :)
What I AM making is a Lebanese feast for Joe and his parents. No, I have never cooked Lebanese food before. Yes, he’s a professional chef. I am a masochist. Hoping some of his kitchen skills have rubbed off on me over the past...

I Love You, Governor O'Malley →
Gosh darnit, I love my home state of Maryland. I now realize how much I took for granted there, after living in Virginia for the past five and a half years. Yes, we had a blip during the Ehrlich era (whose wife Kendall gave my National Honor Society induction speech in 2003… I don’t care that you slummed it in public school once upon a time. Overruled by your hubs’ votes for...

Paris me manque
I’ve been feeling nostalgic for Paris lately. The last time I underwent TSA’s delightful international security screening was on my way to Beirut in July 2009. Don’t shed too many tears for me though: I made my way to both the west coast and Chicago for the first time since then. Aaaaaand, the boyfran and I have a sweet trip to Berkely, CA in the works for this year, which...

happy birthday/v-day to me!
Birthday is in a few weeks (March 5), but that doesn’t mean I can’t get a headstart with a joint Valentine’s/B-day present to myself. LOVE.
Going to ignore the fact that this drained my checking account… vive les annees folles!
