Sometimes you just don't have a camera.

This morning I was looking through some of the pictures I have on my cell phone... and I thought it would be appropriate the share some of them here. I'm WAY behind on the whole "Internets" thing, so I was unaware that I could text message pictures from my phone to my email.... I know, it's almost as if I just discovered that you can buy butter in the store rather then churning it.

Anyway... here are some random pictures from the past few months!

I assume that most of the pictures of our future (very future) children will be on my cell phone. Here's why....Dogs are a lot like children when it comes to pictures, they don't really "hold still" for very long. So the cell phone is usually the nearest thing! I think this is a picture we sent to Tobi with a message saying "Can Bluebonnet come to the park with us"?

This is a picture I sent to Madelyn while she was at work. I just wanted to give her a "cuteness" heart attack at her desk. I think the mission was successfull.

This is a picture I snapped of Rocky while we were moving.... there wasn't a whole lot of room in the car for him amongst all the boxes.... I imagine him saying "Um, hey guys, I'm a little squished back here".

As far as cell phone pictures go this turned out really well. It's a picture of Madelyn while we were playing board games with some friends. It could also work well in a Coke commericial.... I'm giving out FREE advertising advise on this blog! If you want the picture it will cost you.

This is a picture I sent Madelyn showing our old driveway (the black part) and our nice power washed driveway. Have you power washed your driveway lately? This demonstration/picture would work really well in a power washing infomercial.... I can see Billy Mays demonstrating it.

While doing furniture shopping we came across this gem. It's a turtle ottoman.... the shell is squishy and covered in leather. This is easily the most ridiculous piece of furniture I have ever come across. I'm pretty sure it had a "Sold" sign on it, and I'm also pretty sure it was nearly $400.00 dollars. When you see something like this in a furniture store it saves you a lot of time.... you can just turn around and walk out, you don't need to look any further to realize you won't find anything you'll like.

Before we moved into our new house we decided to get a little more familiar with the neighborhood so we packed up the dog, drove to our future home, and walked the streets. I took a picture of Madelyn next to the "Contract Pending" sign.... I thought for sure we would get one in front of the "SOLD" sign.... but the day we signed the papers they took the sign away. I guess in this housing market they need all the signs they can get.... they can't spare them for picture taking.

Kentucky Derby..... and Madelyn looks the part! I think all of Big Brown's success is due to the fact that he was the first horse we've ever placed a bet on and Madelyn's big floppy hat.

My little Nikon ran out of battery at the Wilco concert... so I had to resort to taking pictures with the cell phone. I have no idea why I needed to take a picture so badly. Were they playing a song I like? Was something happening on stage? I should have written this down!

We donated some stuff at Goodwill this weekend (we still call it the "D.I.".... we can't break our habit) and decided we might as well go inside.... maybe we would come across some sort of treasure. Well, we did! This awesome mug was perfect for our friend Jessica, we took a picture and sent it to her.... we would have bought it, but it was .59 cents! We can't afford that! We're saving up for a turtle ottoman.... you can buy yours here.
