Yesterday, I was a good girl and made some business cards printed on 110 lb. cotton stock. Such thick and delicious paper.
Fun stuff. Now I just have to get the courage to actually hand these puppies out.

Wednesday wanted to hang out with some rulers, and there’s no stopping a cat on a mission. And thus concludes this week’s Wednesday on a Tuesday. by Lauren no comments
Following last night’s Starck-induced chairgasms via Emeco, I now present another ultimate want, Starck’s Mademoiselle chair. Favorite iteration? Transparent frame with chinese blue fabric.
Mademoiselle Printed Chair, Philippe Starck, $860 by Lauren show 2 comments
Maybe it’s because we’re about to move, maybe it’s because I’m in the post-wedding nesting phase, maybe it’s because I’m desperately searching for inexpensive yet well-designed and ergonomic office chairs, but whatever the cause, I’m in serious chair mode. I have serious chair crushes on these chairs and stools from Emeco. Too bad that we don’t have the need (or cash-money) for any of these bad boys. They’re still fun to look at and pine over. 1. Kong Armchair, $1305-$2605 2. Kong Chair, $1200-$2395 3. Hudson Armchair, $785-$1565 4. 20-06 Armchair, $555 5. Navy Chair, $415-$1120 6. Morgans Chair, $670-$1335 7. Nine-0 Stacking Armchair, $485-$1165 8. Hudson Counter Stool with Arms, $955-$1905 9. 20-06 Barstool, $445 by Lauren show 1 comment
While we were fielding contact crisis 2k10, everybody meandered over to the restaurant to get set up.
We finally arrived, and everybody got seated for the toasts!
JP’s father went first. He welcomed everyone, imparted some words of wisdom, and then somehow we all started discussing how to properly count like a German. (You know, in case there is an Inglorious Basterds situation and we don’t want to get shot.) The Americans tried to do the German hands, and the Germans tried to do our American-counting hands.
Made for some pretty fun and interesting photos, I must say. Then, my father spoke, and like always, it was sweet and filled with sage advice.
Apparently Mom and I are both shoulder-leaners.
Then it was turn for the Maid of Honor and Best Man speeches. Laura went first, and wrote it all down because she knew she’d start crying if she didn’t.
She talked about the things she’s learned from me, one of which was “less is more.” I tend to go overboard, and she’s typically the one who pulls me back to earth. Her speech was sweet, funny, and yeah, we both cried.
Then JP’s Best Man, Joe, got up to give his speech.
Joe started telling stories, and JP kept interrupting him. I had to make him stop, cause that Joe guy is pretty dang funny.
He also told everybody about how I faked being bad at Guitar Hero to get “lessons” from JP. I am a sly one.
Finally, JP spoke, and began with challenging my bridesmaid June to a duel. Apparently, after we first met, June gave JP that plastic saber while we were out at a bar. You see, she was the first “JP” in my life, and had told JP she’d fight for me. And that he had to keep the plastic sword, which he did.
Then he went on to say some incredibly sweet things, and we all looked on adoringly.
After the toasts, everybody was laughing, hearts were warmed, and tummies were ready for food. However, first, a little mischief had to be made… How did your rehearsal dinners start out? Did you go food first or toasts first? Sentimental or funny/roast-like toasts? *All photographs by Matt Miller of Our Labor of Love. by Lauren show 8 comments

Six-second exposures turned Wednesday into ghost cat.
By any means necessary, right?
Want.
Wednesday naps with her on-again off-again best friend, Herbert.
