Night Stands... the Dirty Truth!!!!

you know me... always keepin' it REAL!!  this morning as i was getting ready for work, i was glancing around my room.... it's "cleaning lady day" and i don't like the place to look COMPLETELY cluttered... after all, she already knows i don't clean, so i want to give off the impression i at least pick up...

the first thing that caught my eye (other than the disheveled bed) was my night stand.  Lord help me!  my night stand is a CONSTANT issue!  so let me just show you:

this is the general OVERVIEW!

i don't know what you notice first?!?!  probably the lamp with NO shade!

 now lets ZOOM IN

 

what do we have here... lets play that game where i make a list of items and you have to FIND THEM BURIED IN THE PICTURE!  this will be so fun!

 

1.  music box

2.  sock coin purse

3.  dog brush

4.  spoon

5.  ora gel

6.  inappropriate looking dog toy

7.  dog shirt

8.  ear buds

9.  chap stick

10.  hair clip

 

there's actually waaaay more there, but why re-state the obvious!  i look at this list and think "really laurie?  a spoon??  and a dog brush?  you don't even brush the dog!!!"  one thing i'll note here... when one of the dogs runs thru the bedroom with something he shouldn't have, i often take it away and "hide it" on my nightstand.  that could explain a few things.

another angle...

 

a few weeks ago, mike asked me:  "it's mostly out of curiosity that i'm asking... why do you have a bowl next to the bed with a sock in it??"  (i'm laughing just thinking about that question!)  are you wondering what my answer was??  i think it was something like, "well, i was eating strawberry shortcake the other night in bed... and i let the dogs lick the bowl, and it got shoved under the bed... then the dogs were playing under the bed this morning and it must have gotten shoved back out... and the sock is pretty much inexplicable"  said with a shrug and a head shake  ... to which my loving husband replies, "ok".  

now, to complete our tour, i'd like to show you Mike's night stand!!! 

oh wait!!!  some of that junk is mine!!  let me move it!

ok!!  THIS is my neat and tidy husband's nightstand.  and lets be honest, the key chain IS his, but i probably put it there!!

  i will point out, this is the bottom!  ha!

 

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!
