A couple weeks ago, I traveled to Houston, Texas, to visit my college girlfriends. (It was a very busy weekend, so sorry to those who I couldn't visit while down there.) My girlfriend's cat, Lars, stole all of our hearts.
Lars, I already miss you.
For those of you who think cats are "eh." this post may bore you to tears, but Lars is more dog than cat and more human than dog.
Lars' original name was Diamond due to his black marking on his schnoz, but boy, does he LOVE to eat. His appetite is the size of Texas. (da da dah bum...thank you, I'll be here all night.) Therefore my girlfriend's husband decided Lardball was a better fit. Not wishing "Lardball" on any of her enemies, especially this lil' romeo, my friend shortened it to a more sophisticated and fitting "Lars."
Thankfully, the cat doesn't seem to have any identity issues and is still as charming as ever. At night, he would come to each friend's bed for a quickie of, er, petting and then skedaddle to the next friend's bed for another session. Such a player!!

My husband travels for business during the week and Winston, the dog, misses him terribly. Truth be told, I think my husband misses our dogs more. Winston and Murphy (shep mix) are regulars on midweek Skype video conferencing calls due to the popular demand of, er, my husband.
After a day of flying back into Chicago, my husband wants nothing more to cuddle with "the boys" and me, flip on a movie and drink a cerveza.
Here's a snap I captured during one of their many afternoon siestas.

I worked my second wedding show yesterday. My first one occurred when I was in high school and participated in a runway show for a bridal wear shop. I was young and skinny, so I traipsed down the runway, did my thang, and afterward enjoyed tasting various cake from vendors.
During yesterday's show I didn't walk any runways, but I certainly did my thang and even ate a miniature cupcake afterward: my love for sweets as strong as ever.
I met some fabulous brides and grooms at the "Love at Breathtaking Heights" show in addition to some outstanding wedding vendors. I had a ball. Also you might be wondering how my scared-of-heights husband managed being on the 65th floor. He managed, albeit a bit white-knuckled. (Thank you, honey!)
So for those of you who missed it, here's my booth:
Along with my husband...
Don't you think my husband should sell water? He's totally the next Vanna White. :)

He looks so dorky in his running gear, so I had to take a couple snaps to commemorate his dorkiness. Winston, the beagle mix, also joined in the fun. My poor boys!

I LOVED getting to meet you yesterday! You're such a sweetie! We should do lunch some time! You're husband was so funny too! I had no clue he was scared of heights but I guess that explains all the wine he had...lol! Also, love the modesty patch. I don't think I've ever seen that before but it's too funny!!!
