The Picture Project... FINALLY!!! lol.

Well...I'm FINALLY FINISHED!! (well not really, but i figured if i haven't taken a pic of it in 3 weeks then it just wasn't gonna get taken)
For the most part...i tried to take as many of the pics that you all suggested as possible...however, some I just couldn't seem to get. But nevertheless...this was a fun (and very long) project. lol. Thanks you all!! Now...it took me all day! Yes...i've been working on it since this morning!!! So PLEASE look at them all. :) Okay here goes...


Tha Kid wanted to see...
1. a picture of your desk at work
desk

I couldn't get the full picture of my "officle" because of the weird shape of it. My desk pretty much wraps around me and I have a sliding door that closes me in...but i couldn't get it all. Anywho...this is close enough. lol

desk1
and here is where the magic happens. lol. my laptop...my radio...my phone...and that's all i need to get through my workday. lol.

2. a picture of your favorite thing to eat
Well...I couldn't get this because taking pictures was the LAST thing on my mind when eating my favorite dish...lol. But let's compromise.

food

How's that?? lol. The stuffed chicken marsala and this (stuffed shells w/shrimp) from Olive Garden are my 2 FAVORITE foods. *mouth watering already* Well I know what's for dinner tonight! lol

3. a picture of your fave part of the gift Tease au Chocolat gave you
Well initially, I was gonna take a pic of all of his "gift 2" But I had everything in different places, so I figured that I'd just take a pic of one of the things in the box from gift 2. You may can't see it that good...but this is his drawing of a very nice artwork we saw one day at Stonecrest Mall which I loved but couldn't dish out $200 for. He drew it and made a nice frame for it. It's called "The Kiss". This gift had the most thought & work behind it in my book. Thus claiming the status of "favorite gift". Unfortunately, this picture doesn't do the actual drawing ANY justice. It's really beautiful in person.

Lantz wanted to see:
Your car
uh...sorry. I never remember to take this... How about take this pic tomorrow and post it on my next post? Thanks!

house
This is my humble abode. Not much of a looker...but very comfy and cozy.

1. A full shot of sway's beautiful self.
Still working on that... lol It's kinda hard for me to take a full body shot of myself with a camera phone. It's a lot of me to take. lol. Sorry Barry, I promise to have this the VERY next time I post. Hold me to it! In fact...I'll take a full body shot BY my car... so that way, I'll kill 2 birds w/one stone. :)

2. some pictures of your bedroom and things in it.
Here's my junky bedroom. It's all bubbly and flowery. I guess that's me 90% of the time. lol. The other 10% of the time, I have the red wine colored satin sheets on. I guess that's the other more....sensual/siddidy/mature side of me. lol. But shoot...I be slippin and sliding everywhere on those satin sheets. lol Jersey sheets are much better in the winter. hahaha

junky bedroom

Notice my intruments on the side of my bed.lol. So at any given time when I'm chatting on the phone with you...I can just annoy the mess outta you with my non-guitar playing self. lol

intruments

3. Some pictures of your church, and the people there.
I'm sorry I don't have this too. It's kinda hard to just pull out my camera and start snapping pictures when I'm in the choir stand behind my Bishop. Sooo...i'm still kinda working on it. I'll post this asap too. :)

4. A picture of your favorite spot to relax at.
oxford
This is a spot on emory's campus called "the quad". I love being here when the weather's nice. It's across from my job and whenever I just want to get away and do some thinking...i come here.

Clksk wanted to see:
1. your favorite perfume.

nautica
Okay... I really tried to take a pic of this perfume myself. But since it was almost empty, and the bottle is clear, it didn't come out too good. lol. So i just got this one. This is one of my Favorites though!! I got it on now. lol

2. your pet if you have one.
Sorry...but I don't have one. :(

3. the current book you are reading!

So far, it's pretty good. I'm also reading "The power of a praying woman"....but didn't feel like taking another pic. lol

Sunshine wanted to see:
1. something that means a lot to you
well...this is more of a someONE than a someTHING...but still...i figured i'd capture it. This is my cousin's baby, Zoe. I've talked about this entire situation before earlier in my blog. Anyways...this is us. (and YES i know i look a hot mess...thanks for telling me AGAIN. lol)
Zoe

2. your favorite piece of clothing
dress

Okay... aside from the cleavage BURSTING out of the dress..(sorry about that) This really is one of my favorite items of clothing. You may can't see it that well...but the material is so comfortable and it falls beautifully. Aaaannnywhooo....

3. your favorite piece of furniture
chair
This is called the "sleepy chair" in my house. lol. It's the best! I curl up in it..and read a book...look out the window...or watch tv and with in 10 min of doing either of them...i'm KNOCKED OUT!

Cymple wanted to see:
1. Something that you are the proud owner of.

Yup...you got it. I LOVE my phone. It's not really fancy..but it gets the job done. lol

3. You in your element.
goi
This pic is of me and some of the folx at my church on a "missions" outing. I picked this pic because I'm with the people i love...doing something i have a heart for. I think this is truly me in my element. (FYI - in case you haven't picked me out yet...i'm to the right of the lady in the purple jacket. Yeah...i'm short. I know. lol)

Golden wanted to see:
1)Your favorite cd.
This is hard because the only CD's I have, are ones I bought AFTER listening to someone else's and realizing that i LOVE the entire CD. So they all have been my favorite at one point or another. lol. Plus I listen to music by mood...so as of today this is the CD i picked...lol
CD
CeCe Winan's "Throne Room" CD. It's so good. It's mellow and completely wonderful to worship to.
(this also can count towards CeeCee's suggestion of a nail picture...although i have another pic of that too. lol)

2)Something you encounter everyday on your way to work.
traffic
Yup...traffic. I sit in about 3 hours worth of traffic. Erryday! It's amazing i'm still sane....sorta. lol

3)Your favorite place in ATL.
Um...honestly. My house is my favorite place here. lol. The second would be The Fox Theatre..which I was at saturday for the Alvin Ailey Dance thing..and tried to take a pic of...but it was too dark. :( So sorry Golden.

Fave wanted to see:
1. a street sign of your fave street.
street
Why is this my favorite street sign you ask? Well...after sitting in that TRAFFIC all day, I know that I'm only about 10 minutes away (6 on a good day) from home. You wouldn't believe how good that makes a sista feel. lol

2. a pair of your fave shoes.
Okay...i was REALLY ghetto with this one because I actually had the shoes on when i came to work..and decided that these indeed were my favorite pair...so i slipped it off...put it on top of my desk...and snapped the shot. I know my co-workers was like...WTH? Why is she taking a picture of her shoe. lol (fyi- I wear a size 6.5 if anyone wanna buy me a pair for me. lol)
shoes

3. your fave glass u drink out of @ home(i know u got one).

glass
This glass came out of my first bath & body works basket. (sun-ripened raspberry i think) Anyways...I just like it. Dunno why. lol

Grayse wanted to see:
1.Your favorite mascara.
mascara
Okay...this stuff is soooo friggin GREAT! I put it on for special occassions...trying to you know...get that sexy look or whatnot. hahaha. But I love it. It's expensive..but it's worth it.

2.your favorite pair of shoes.
Uh... look above. lol

3.The first billboard you see.
I didn't think that this would be hard until I began realizing that taking pic of a bilboard while moving/driving...is crazy. And there aren't many on Interstate 285 that actually HAVE stuff on them. lol. So, I did what you said....when i saw one i could semi-capture...I did. lol
billboard

CeeCee (all late. lol) wanted to see:
