Hey, remember back in October when I told y’all if there was something you wanted to see a picture of, to leave a comment and I’d take a picture of it? And then I never did anything about it? Well, here are some of the pictures I took months ago and never got around to putting up:
My closet. The fridge and freezer. Click here to see the bigger picture. The front of the house. A scene in my town/ a shot representative of Madison. And across the street from the Kohl’s located in the middle of a cotton field, my favorite new place in Madison, because it’s adorable. It looks like a little cartoon building: Mojo to GoGo. Fred says the coffee is good, and that they have smoothies, too. The laundry room; you can see a corner of the container that holds the litter box over there on the right. Someone wanted to see the medicine cabinet. We don’t actually have a medicine cabinet; we use a shelf in the kitchen as our medicine cabinet. Me, vacuuming with the Dyson. Someone wanted to see my shoes. I wasn’t sure if they meant the shoes I own, or the shoes I was wearing. Above are some of my shoes. More shoes. The shoes I was wearing at the time. Under the kitchen sink. See here for the full-sized picture.
Pictures that will be coming in the upcoming weeks: Me putting on my socks (I don’t know which of you freaks want to see THAT one) The house, from the back fence The inside of my purse The spud’s room Closeup of my desk and the surrounding area 3 new Tubby pics My favorite store My favorite place to eat If there’s something you want to see, leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do. ]]>
