on top I have a lamp, alarm clock and a small box of tissues.
Top drawer is 3 boxes of Aluna (herbal night time sleepy med) the TV remote, and the AC remote.
On the bottom shelf is 5 paperbacks and a stack of quilty Mags.

I dont have anything really girly on the bedside table. I have a Antique Vanity for all the lotions and potions as my DH says.

I've known about the allergy for a long time, I used to get bad reactions at the dentist, we weren't sure if it was maybe a reaction to the injections but it was the latex.
At work I have to have different gloves than the guys, and a different respirator mask made of nitrile or silicone.

Hmmmmm I guess I can play along.

There's a bottle of Victoria Secret lotion, or two, a back scratcher, 3 types of lip balm, lots of dust. I have a Women's Daily Bible, one quilt magazine, (that's cause I cleared about 10 off of there the other day) 7 Christian Fiction books and 2 loose book covers, a pretty note pad 3 pens and a pencil, the control for my electric mattress pad and a bottle of Bio-Freeze Pain reliever. In the drawer is some feminine lubricant, 2 bottles of flavered massage oil, a cassette tape of ?, a wooden heart my son made in woodshop in 7th grade, the hospital bracelets from when DD#3 was born (22 years ago) some perfume samplers and a bunch of birthday annev, Mothers Day & Christmas cards from DH.

Me either Loretta!:)It would be just another place to clean and declutter for me...so, I do the hiding method...a plastic container under my side of the bed..which is full of inspirational catalogs, mags (quilting-that is a given!)and color books. Then I always have something to read or reread...:)Skeat

Well I don't have a bedside table - wardrobe my side! But DH's side has a chest of drawers with our underwear in - one drawer each. Mine also has my Granny's bible. On top are a few paperbacks, lamp, clock and a papier mache box with my jewellery in that Joey made me at school, plus some clay models ditto and a pic of Lily in a frame that SHE made at school!

It's amazing we all have to have immediate access to our reading material! BTW Just wanted to pass on something I heard: Chocolate is God's way of apologizing for okra. teehee
