Show And Tell: An Iceberg In My Freezer And My Non-Chic Computer Desk Area

This is going to be a posts that has two parts. 

The first part is about my freezer that has to be defrosted every month (and sometimes twice a month in the summer) because I have one of those dwarf refrigerators in my studio apartment that is NON frost-free. Yes I know, it's 2015 and you're probably all wondering, "Why the hell does Ron still have one of those antiquated refrigerators??" Well, that's easy, because it's the only size refrigerator that will fit in this small apartment.

Anyway, yesterday I had a 911 freezer defrosting emergency because the ice had built up so thick, that I could no longer fit so much as a thin piece of loose leaf paper inside. I also needed to go grocery shopping and realized that unless I defrosted the freezer, I would have nowhere to put my frozen food. I'm usually quite efficient about defrosting my freezer every month, however, I've been so busy lately that I kept putting it off. 

Here are two photographs of what the inside of the freezer looked like...

OMG...can you believe it?!?! 

It looks like the size of the iceberg that sunk the RMS Titanic during its maiden voyage!

Needless to say, it took half the day to defrost this iceberg. I should have taken after pictures to show you what it looks like without all that ice.

The second part of this post is about the computer desk area in my apartment.

I read a lot of interior design and DIY blogs, which often share ideas about designing stylishly chic computer desk areas. And in as nice as they look (and they really do), they always appear as though they came out of a magazine because everything looks so perfectly perfect. I mean really, do people actually live like this? Well, obviously they do...

Now my computer desk area looks NOTHING like the ones above. Mine looks more like this...

Very non-chic and nothing fancy. But hey, it gets the job done.

Above my desk (if you look closely), you'll notice a mirror with a shelf. And on it is my small collection of squirrel items, because as you know, I love squirrels more than my own life! These were all given to me by a longtime blogging friend, Nitebyrd. A squirrel salt and pepper shaker set, and a squirrel coffee mug. Aren't they CUTE?

Oh, and one more thing. I don't know if you're like me and have one drawer in your home where you just throw everything inside and it's one big MESS. Normally I'm a very neat and organized person, however, this is one place where I'm sloppy, careless, and don't give a shit.

My junk drawer...

No comment.

But if you ever come to visit me and need a pair of reading glasses or crave a Starlight peppermint, you'll know where to find them.

Have a fabulously chic Monday, y'all!
