Good afternoon! 

 

As you may expect, I had a Z-Bar for my mid-morning snack.  I made James pose with it to make the picture slightly more interesting:

Doesn’t he look cute/scared?

 

And for lunch, I had a platter lunch…. which is always more fun because it takes longer to eat.

Instead of eating a regular 6-inch sub, I made mini open-face sammies, topped them with chicken and cheddar cheese, and stuck them under the broiler for a few minutes.

 

Viola!

And a carrot barrier to prevent the pickle juice from getting everywhere….

I am developing a crazy obsession with pickles.  Maybe it’s the tangy taste, maybe it’s the crunchiness, maybe it’s the fact that each slice is 5 calories…..

 

I went back for more (no, I’m not pregnant!).

World’s Most Awesome Wedding Dress

 

Awwww shucks.  I’m totally regretting buying my "normal" wedding dress now…. I wanna wear THIS ONE!

article-1081355-02461D12000005DC-654_468x714

Missy’s dress, studded with Swarovski crystals, and with a 10ft wide train, was so heavy that it took ten guests to help her struggle out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom that brought her to the church. 

 

As Future Husband would say, "That is CHAV-tastic!" You MUST read the whole article.

    Regarding the dress, all I have to say is WOW!

  • Bridget October 29, 2008, 10:32 am

    WOW! Does Swarovski know their good name is associated with this?? hehe

  • magpie October 29, 2008, 10:42 am

    Haha, awesome wedding dress pic.

    I like platter lunches too, and hooray for zbars 🙂

  • Jen October 29, 2008, 10:47 am

    Girl, that is hilarious. Maybe you could take your dress back. 🙂
    How about that cold snap we had here in Florida? It’s beautiful out now though.
    Have a great afternoon!

  • Bridget October 29, 2008, 10:54 am

    Um what kind of church would let THAT in!?!?!!? Hahahahah!

    I LOVE pickles too…just eat them right out of the jar, so good!

  • Andrea of Care to Eat October 29, 2008, 11:00 am

    That’s hot!
    I’m glad I’m not the only one with a pickle obsession – they are a great option when you’re craving something salty 🙂

  • fitneat October 29, 2008, 11:11 am

    I think that dress kind of cool…
    if she had a better body and is wearing it for ahalloween party, not her wedding!!!!!!!

    Are you going to stay “seebriderun” after the wedding??

  • VeggieGirl October 29, 2008, 11:21 am

  • Amy October 29, 2008, 11:57 am

    Hi Caitlin,

    OMG. That is horrendous. My boyfriend is English too and I never heard the word Chavtastic before until I went to England with him this past summer. Awesome! That dress is horrendous. Sad thing..it says that church is in Cheshire and thats where my bf is from. I will definitely tease him about his fellow Brits! Thanks for the funny article.

  • Catherine October 29, 2008, 11:57 am

    Oh my good lord. As my mom would say “that doesn’t look church-friendly”!!

  • Tutu B. October 29, 2008, 11:59 am

    That woman stole my dress!!!

    MMmmmm….Chocolate brownie z bars are my fav.

    Your dogs are adorable!

  • Sharney October 29, 2008, 12:05 pm

    Awwwww! James can make any picture look adorable!

    Your sandwich looks so yummy! I love melty cheese 🙂

    OMG!!!!! That dress is so TACKY!!! How can anyone wear that, let alone wear it on their wedding day?!?!?! Yuck!!!

  • Mrs. LC October 29, 2008, 12:09 pm

    oh. my. gosh. trashy dress. there are so many things i don’t understand from this article…how was she done with school at 9? how are all the guests wearing such trashy stuff? how did a catholic church let her in with this dress? haha my old roommate in college was catholic and i had to make sure i wore a dress w/ straps to her super catholic wedding…there’s no way they would’ve let that dress in! craziness!

  • Katy October 29, 2008, 12:58 pm

    I think I have seen cross dressers that wore something similar AND looked better in it.

    Haha.

  • sara October 29, 2008, 2:05 pm

    no words for that dress.

    caitlin (or anyone else). i wanna bake a salmon tonight, but im not sure how to go about it??
    Im looking for a healthy/yummy recipe?? thanks!

  • Caitlin (see bride run) October 29, 2008, 2:19 pm

    fitneat – yup! at least for a while. then i need to put on my creative thinking cap 🙂

    sara – i like baked salmon… just rub with some pepper, garlic, and EVOO and bake at 350 for 30 – 35 minutes or so.

  • seeleelive October 29, 2008, 3:50 pm

  • lighterportions October 29, 2008, 4:47 pm

    Thank you for directing me to my future wedding dress. Now all I have to do is save a bit of extra cash so I can buy that dreamy, dreamy garment 😉

  • DanceSkater October 29, 2008, 5:18 pm

    Hi! I’ve never posted before, but I really love your blog! And… just had to add that my name is also Caitlin, and I too have a dachshund (long haired mini) who I love tremendously. What great work companions you have!

  • D10 October 29, 2008, 5:30 pm

    Hope your not going to trade in your dress for this one. What some people think is classy.

  • Caitlin (see bride run) October 29, 2008, 5:37 pm
