While getting ready for bed the other night I looked over and noticed Patrick had a rather large stack of books on his nightstand - which is rather typical. He is an avid non-fiction reader.
When I asked if he was ready for me to put some of them away, he said no. So my question is: Is he still reading them? ALL of them?? Or does he just want to rub it in that he reads more than me?
Which leads me to my nightstand:
For someone who has their masters in reading (dorky, I know!) I'll agree my nightstand is pretty pathetic. Admittedly, I've been a little busy for the past 14 months and haven't read anything that didn't have to do with parenting, twins, kids or pregnancy. But that's changing!!! I stole the No Easy Day (autobiography of a navy seal) book off of P's nightstand and can't put it down!! (Translation: I only get 4-5 pages read at night and my eyes start closing and who in the world has time to read during the day?!?) But holy cow, it's so good! Maybe I'll have it finished by Christmas ;).
I also wonder if what is on our nightstands says something about us as well. Feel free to give your critiques. Like... why do I have both the remotes, the monitor, phone, TWO coasters, and the clock? Weird. Am I a control freak? And I'll have you know I didn't move or adjust a single thing on either nightstand before snapping a picture. Maybe I should have, come to think of it.
Oh... and you can also get a glimpse of the awesome blue my sweet hubby painted our bedroom not long ago. I'm loving it!! Now I'm ready to add a little color elsewhere in our house.
I'm curious... what's on your nightstand?
I have been rolling the whole nightstand-redo in my room...but whats stopping me is that my blessed small fan MUST remain right by my side all night! No matter that our ceiling fan is also spinning all night...I have to have mine, too. Leaves little room for anything else. I also have a little drawer that hosts some necessities - chapstick, earplugs (just in case!), kleenex, coasters, and coughdrops. Oh, how I hate having to use a coughdrop at night! Makes me want to brush my teeth! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Love your comment Anna :) Those necessities never can be more than an arms length at night, right? Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel connected to some other adults! HA!
