SPF: Bedside Manner

Ok, I'm stupid. Random and Odd moved her blog and made a special section for SPF, where she posted the assignment. I was grumbling last night to my honey that I hate having to wait until Friday morning to find the assignment, grumble, grumble. And, it was there the whole time. *doh*

SO, here it is. Late. But, here.

1.the inside of your nightstand drawer
2.a good book you’ve read
3. your favorite lamp

I don't have a nightstand drawer. This is Army of Dad's. I put stuff in it all the time, though. The nightstand was the only thing I got from my paternal grandmother's home after she died.

You can see stuff I've put in there. A Dear Abby I wanted him to read. There is a little yellow "erotic positions book" I got out of a bathroom vending machine on our honeymoon, too, in the top right corner. The "young man's guide to sexuality" I wanted him to read before I gave it to Pickle to help him understand what is going on with his body. Then, there is some cop thing, I"m not sure what it is. Some space shuttle patches his mom sent us. Some shotgun shells, a golf ball, the Spongebob pens that were in his Christmas stocking and THAT is where the marks-a-lot has been!

A good book. Hmm. Last good books I read were the Chronicles of Narnia and Pickle has them in his room. So, how about the books I'm reading now?

Notice the bookmark in each one? I keep stopping and starting the books. The 1-2-3 is obvious. I only dig it out when I need a refresher and fear that I may sell the children to gypsies if I dont' get them under control. Close Range has the Brokeback Mountain story in it. I spilled a soda on it the other day and had to wait for it to dry out. Finding Serenity is a collection of essays on various aspects of Firefly and it is interesting, but I keep misplacing the book and still haven't finished it.

My favorite lamp is a cheapie from Ikea. It just really helps illuminate our office/family room.

My favorite light fixture is over our dining room table. We lived for years with the ugly wanna-be chandelier swag thing that came with this house. This one looks so much nicer. I still hate the popcorn ceilings. Whose idea were those? Eww.


Go play.
