from time to time, the site will select a question from among the slew of those asked (fergie's hoody? jessica alba's red carpet manolo's? etc.), and post a response for all their readers. and i would be lying if i said there wasn't some tiny little part of me hoped that my question would be selected. that was about three weeks ago and no one seemed to have an answer. i can't really explain why, although a big part is that i really wanted an answer. of course, the selection of one's question also somehow indicates a 'with-it' ness that i (sadly) crave. i admit it. i like fashion, i can't afford the fashion i really like, so i make due, but i like it. a lot.
with all that being said, imagine my glee when this came across my bloglines today! now, i'm not cited, so you are just going to have to trust me, but i don't believe in taking credit from other people, so you CAN trust me.
unfortunately, the crack team at shefinds didn't have any more luck than i did finding the item, but i still sort of feel famous. it's almost as good as the time i appeared on the front page of a major turkish newspaper:)

in other news, jesse's trip dates are nearly confirmed. i will be heading to north carolina on the 17th to meet up with him and spend some time with julie and colby before coming back here on the 18th.
the 19th is museum day, starting with the washington monument, then on to the natural history museum, national art gallery, national archives, and international spy museum. (sorry aaron, i'm not a fan of the sackler, though i will make an attempt at dumbarton oaks.) we may stick around and do a night tour of the monuments, or postpone that for later in the trip. i realize even without that, this is an ambitious day, but the spy museum is open late, and i will be pre-ordering tix for that and the washington monument, which makes it possible.
the 20th, we will be heading to harper's ferry where we will spend the morning tubing the potomac, and enjoying lunch on the river, before heading in to town for the historical goodness. then, after getting home and cleaning up, we will hopefully head for the local imax to see harry potter.
the 21st is lara and nick's wedding!! the timing of j's trip is not ideal because of this, but we will make it work. between the sealing and the reception, we are going to visit the udvar-hazy center. this was the big question in my mind.. air & space or udvar-hazy. ultimately i decided on the latter, for two reasons. one, the location makes it ideal for saturday afternoon when it might be hard to tackle anything else. and two, even though there is more at air & space, the pieces at udvar-hazy or more interesting to me. not too mention that he heard all about my party!
the 22nd after church, we will either head back to dc to do the monument/memorial tour--lincoln, jefferson, fdr, korean, vietnam wall (if we've not already done it), or we will head up to gettysburg for the afternoon.
on the 23rd, jesse will head back to california :(
so, that's the general idea. it covers a lot of ground, has a lot of diversity, and is going to be a really fantastic time!

also, i just installed a nice little tool on this site called snap shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, and displays inline video, rss, mo3s, photos, etc. the idea is that you get a preview of what the link is taking you to, before you actually click on it and leave. it's a way to 'look ahead.'
should you decide this is not for you, just click the options icon in the upper right corner of the snap shot and opt-out.

I'm not offended that you don't like the Sackler. Part of it's charm is that it isn't mobbed by gawking unsophisticated tourists. That and the exquisite Japanese landscapes.
Wow, sounds like quite the adventure! Have fun and send me a postcard ;)
