Can we have some?
What's in the drawer beside your bed?
Sometimes, the contents
can surprise one.

But I will admit that I've been meaning to move the contents elsewhere.

A photo of Dr Bob, no, I mean my kittycat
War and Peace, by Tolstoy. It's got the bookmark permanantly lodged on page 4
trashy tabloid
lavender scented linen spray
lip balm and hand cream

floss, one working and several battery dead thermometers, those little sticky flags, a few bookmarks that are too oddly shaped to fit in the bookmark holder behind my nightstand, pen, pencil, highlighter, a group of sleep masks because the dogs keep eating my current one, and a collection of remotes (except for the main one which lies smack dab between my husband and I alongside one maltese)
Why on earth are dogs so fascinated with sleep masks?

Tissue and wrapping paper
Candles
Candle holdersThe table used to be in the dining room and when we moved it into the bedroom, we never took the junk out of it.
I need to do that one of these days, tissue paper doesn't work real well for nose blowing. Though I suppose I could stuff a candle up my nose.

Sorry to be so dense, but how do you plug your eyes? And why would you do that?

Sandwich? ......no, bad idea!
Money?.......Ya-like that would really last long!

Dinah,
Sounds like you are a reader! And a serious one, too, do you hilite things and take notes? Mark pages? Go back and forth, referring to what you've read and making sense of little threads? I like to do that sometimes. Lucky you, you have a maltese to sleep with, that sounds lovely. Although my betta is pretty interesting to watch, and he knows when he's going to be fed and we make a game of it, there's nothing like a warm cuddly animal or a big lovely man.
> Why on earth are dogs so fascinated with sleep masks?
Can you get hubby to take a picture of doggy watching your mask? I just want to see the way they tilt their head and look at you, it's the cutest thing, some dogs are really sweet.

Do you know, you sound pragmatic, very sensible, no frills. Neat and tidy. Are you neat and tidy? Because if you are I totally totally admire that in people. I'm working on it all the time. Wait till I go through my drawer, the list will be long and disorganized! Reading this thread makes me wonder how I will find those people, do you think it bears relation to a personality, the stuff in our bedside drawers? Okay, and what about the reading material? What's in the bookstand? Do you read before you go to sleep? I used to, now I prefer to meditate or do self-hypnosis, but actually a combination is good. How about you, what do you do before sleep? Oh, oops, I guess some of that might be secret.

Hmm, I have lavender mist as well. I keep it in a large plant spray bottle, slightly diluted with distilled water, and I spray it all over my place several times a day. It's relaxing, refreshing, and heavenly. I like it on the pillow too, where do you spray it? I have relaxation cds too, I play them during the day as well. It really helps me calm down and be a bit more centered. Ew, I should focus more on business less on babble!

Ew, a candle up your nose, what a visual, no thanks. Candles, I LOVE candles and their little special holders, the things we do to make a flame brighter, or softer, or sparkle more or glow .. I have a ton of candles and holders. Yum. But the more kitsch there is, the more dusting to do, so I try to keep it down and I rotate stuff around too. Makes it more interesting. I guess you like a romantic atmosphere .. mm, are your candles scented?? I love scented candles.

Yeah, when I read nonfiction I often highlight and put flags on what I read, if it's important to me. And I adore bookmarks. I've got funny ones and pretty ones and meaningful ones from places I've visited. But somehow I end up with an envelope or something acting as bookmark.
The little darlings are too sneaky to evidence interest while I'm wearing the mask. But woe betide me if I leave it on the bed or with a string dangling. The bigger one manages to snitch it and the little ones join in. I usually find it, a lot wetter, but no worse for wear in a dog bed somewhere (we've got them scattered through the house so the dogs can be comfortably underfoot wherever we are.)
At least they've quit stealing my son's toys for the most part. But they get his socks whenever they possibly can. Again, no harm, just wet and well loved. And my bigger dog is attached to my slippers. I don't mind since slippers go on my feet as opposed to my face. But if I leave a slipper on the floor instead of on the little rolling thingy I keep them on I can usually find one slightly soggy slipper in her nighttime bed, as far underneath her as she can get it. Poor dear has to sleep in her own bed because she pushes us out of ours.
I gotta admit it's hard to get out of bed some mornings, in the middle of a maltese sandwich, snuggly and cozy.

I'm scared of fire. :(
But my husband got me a candle warmer so I can enjoy the frangrance without being scared by the flame.

Yeah, but just don't use that nose-blowing method when you're burning the candle from both ends......major pain...

Sooo......if I'm reading 'between the subject line' correctly, our Dinah apparently has contents that need to be moved elsewhere, that she won't tell about, but that are suited to being in the 'BIG' drawer!!!!
Hmmmm.......................................
or...........maybe....mmmmmmm................

No, no. That I only used once and had my husband throw it out. Didn't like it AT ALL. :)
I got the recommend here, I think, and my therapist urged me to give it a shot as well. But no, that's not what's in the drawer. Ummm... Not anymore anyway.
Really! Just the once!

Hi Susan,
I'm far from romantic, but love scented candles. I just bought a pear scented one. Can't wait to burn it and see if I feel like I'm in a pear orchard.
