Day 1 of Southern Belle's 26 Day Pictorial Challenge

Southern Belle has challenged Lady Leslie and I to take a picture each day, for the next 26 days, having to do with a certain word, from a certain list, that she has posted on her blog. What we have here is nothing more than a seasoned blogger flexing her blogging knowledge and picking on us newbies. That's okay. We're up for the challenge!

Today's word is, "Aahh!!!" Before I post my picture, I feel the need to give you my interpretation of the word. This is not the sound you make as you slip into a hot bubble bath, nor is this the sound you make when your hubby rubs your feet. My "Aahh!!" is as follows:

Aahh - the exclamation omitted from one's mouth at the sight of something nasty, a sound of freaked-outedness (e.g. When you are walking down your basement stairs at night to put a load of clothes in the dryer and you encounter one of those ginormous, brown, hairy spiders on the steps/wall - you know, the ones that are never there during the daylight hours? Also, the sound made when it's 10:00 at night and your husband is out of town on business and you open your kitchen cupboard to find yourself face to face with the beady eyes and pointy nose of the 'possum that's been pooping in your cupboards that you've been trying to catch for two weeks. THAT'S the sound of AAHH!! I'm talking about people!)

With that........my pictures.

Now, don't get me wrong....I do realize that important battles of galactic proportions have taken place at this very site, but when I look at this room.......... A mother should not have to risk her life to tuck her child into bed at night. Do you know what one of those mega-blocks feels like on the soft underside of your foot? How about when you step on a wooden block and you manage to get just the edge of it, causing it to flip over and you to slightly twist an ankle????? Now that I look at the picture even more closely, I think that's some athletic support in the center of the room! Nice!
