Fun Monday - The Bedside Table

AOJthelurchers hosts our Fun Monday fun this week. The assignment -- Continuing in the spirit of "being interested in people", I would like to know, or see, what's on, in or under your bedside table! So open those draws and bare your soul to us! Is there anything special there that has a story or a memory that you can tell us about? Books that you keep there to delve into from time to time? Trinkets that you don't know where else to put? Let's see!



My bedside table was recently moved and cleaned, but not by me. Ducky got a hold of it and right now it looks good. In the war we are currently waging, Ducky rearranged the room and got rid of a lot of clutter. He put most of my clutter in that box under the table. I'm not sure what is in there and I'm not going to look until I can deal with it.

The items on top of my table. My light, touch activated. My alarm clock that wakes me up to ocean sounds. I only use it when I absolutely have to. Sleepy the bear, my mother's day gift from the boys last year. They picked her, stuffed her and dressed her in a robe and bunny slippers. She is wearing the one and only item that I have knitted. A blue tube scarf. Very soft.



In my drawer, I have a heat pack, it smells good and looks good too. A sleep mask and peppermint chapstick. And the tooth pillow. It is in my drawer for safe keeping. Now whenever sweetP loses a tooth, I give him the pillow, he puts his tooth in the little pocket and puts it under his pillow. The tooth fairy thanks me. It makes finding the tooth easy and keeps the money safe. I made it for him a few weeks ago when he lost his first tooth.

I usually have a book on there, but I just finished one. I am choosing from the stack of books in my messy room to see what I will read next. Now if you looked at the top of my dresser, that is another story. It is currently stacked with clothes that need to be put away. Maybe tonight before I go to bed. Maybe not. We'll see.

All your crap fits in the itty bitty plastic box? You're less of a packrat than you think,

Cute teddy & that reminds me I need to find my eye mask.

Faye said...

Is your bear one of those special "create a bears"? My friend made one for a child her son was hoping to adopt from Central America--complete with a recorded message from them in his tummy.
