What’s on the Face of YOUR Fridge?
August 3, 2007
Our fridge is dead. It’s actually been dead for nearly a month, during which time Christopher and I have been shuttling food back and forth from our Emergency-Costco-Fridge in the carport (lots of fun in a bathrobe with a baby on your hip, I assure you). I had quite a few chuckles with my friends on the Cooking Light bulletin boards about appliance breakdown nightmares (lots of fodder for Thanksgiving!), and it made me stop and take a last, lingering look at the beloved collage we’ve assembled over the years on the front (and side) of our fridge.
I’ve always believed that what’s on a fridge says a lot about a person—and ours is a great example. Right now it’s like a tour of our days as a carefree couple. I think it’s a bit ironic that just as our child arrives, the fridge’s demise necessitates a shuffle of the portrait of our life. No doubt our next fridge (arriving Monday, HALLELUJAH!) will be covered with family shots of Noe, doctor’s reminders, emergency numbers, babysitter cell phone numbers and the like.
But before that happens, in the last few days that this freeze frame of our ‘old’ life remains in tact, I thought I’d share the face of my fridge with you and invite you to do the same.
E-mail me at lia at swirlingnotions.com (with FRIDGE SHOT in the subject line) with a photo of the face of YOUR fridge. I’ll compile them in a week or so and post them here. Or, if you’re prefer, just give a laundry list in the comments below. I’d love to know!
Cheers,
Lia
