the Oscars

Eating bacon-wrapped scallops, loaded potatoes, and other goodies while enjoying Seth MacFarlane hosting the Oscars. Kate Winslet, we saw your boobs!

end of the work week

Nothing says job well done like one-minute nachos, white wine endorsed by a mysterious black cat, and a kitchen full of pets vying for gastronomic dominance.

How you really feel on Valentine's Day

Feel the obligatory love!

No dumpling making in my future

Unless you look at is as "art," there's definitely no professional dumpling making in my future.

target is a wonderland

Woke up early today to ensure my chances of trying on one of Prabal Gurung's pieces in the Target collection. Things were not at all crazy at the Daly City location, though Cabbage told me it was mayhem somewhere in Los Angeles. I did think it strange that the driver of this vehicle with a handicap placard was also waiting for the store to open but you know, maybe she was waiting for a prescription.

Not only did I get the adorable floral fit 'n' flare dress I wanted, I also found this cute pink piggy toy for Soleil. It's plush and it squeaks and it has rope legs... basicslly it's an all-in-one supertoy for my little dog. If I can make my dog and myself happt in one shopping trip, it's pretty much a win.

wear your heart on your nail

I am really into this heart manicure thing! I'm going to see how many spiffy color combos I can work with. Love this bright red and soft gray!

File this under "a blessing and a curse"

After stumbling across the revolvong discount museum of design junkies that is fab.com, I have ordered and received beautiful Turkish earrings, cute castellano travel accessories, and crazy red sunglasses that my mom hates. It is inspiring, fun, and "makes you smile" as fab likes to say. It is also a horrible curse because it is so hard to resist the cute things that weedle their way into my inbox... you'll see sickeningly cute food pillows in a couple of weeks.

Until then, it's back to scolding myself for faltering on the great save-up for my island vacation.
