Fun Monday: Bedside table








This week's Fun Monday is hosted by Angela of AOJ & the Lurchers. I decided to officially join. They have 59 members for this week, that's very exciting.








This is my bedside table. The books are a collection I've had for a while and have been meaning to read. I will read them. Maybe while I'm convalesing? Maybe. The photo is from a LAPD division Christmas Party we took our daughters to, twenty years ago. They are lovely daughters.








Here is a close up of the photo, remember it was the '80's.



It's, (the night stand), sqeezed into a corner, but I have this lovely wreath handing above it. I love hydengeas.


















The top drawer holds all sorts of things. French lessons, I've always wanted to go to France. Hiking brochures from when I lead a hiking club. All kinds of odds and ends.




The bottom drawer holds an amazing amount of pedicure items. I've worked retail for a long time. Seven years as a store manager, Victoria's Secret, This End Up Furniture and Crabtree and Evelyn, isn't that a mix. And now ten years part time, after I retired from working full-time; three years for a custom picture framer and seven years at Barnes and Nobel. All that time on my feet adds up to a lot of pedicure items. Oh and that yellow thing in the right hand corner is a pair of pants I got in Bermuda 3 1/2 years ago, and haven't hemmed. They're too long. I even bought the thread to finish them with but they ended up in the drawer and forgotten. Maybe by this summer. They are summer pants.

5 Night Dinner Challenge

Tonight we had a simple dinner. Easy to make and great on taste.

Black Bean Burritos
4 Bean Salad
Mini Carrots
Gingerbread Cupcakes (leftovers)

Health Tip: Did you know that eating beans, 1/2 cup a day, is an easy way to lower your cholesterol, with out using drugs. Any type of beans (legume), not green beans.

5 Night Dinner Challenge ~ Join Me?

You can tell, I've been blog-reading today. Carrie at Sommer Designs had issued a challenge. This is what she has to say:

Here's my idea: I am challenging myself to making dinner every night this week. And it has to be something I haven't made in a long time. Each morning, I'll post the recipe from the previous night's dinner, with a picture, of course. I'm aiming for quick and easy over here.
I'm inviting you to do the same! Join me, and post your dinner recipes on your blogs. Hopefully, we can all get out of this rut and try something different.
We can start a blog dinner challenge revolution! Who's in?


I already made dinner tonight. This was my menu:

Chili
Shredded Jack and Cheddar Cheese
Warm Tortillas
Carrot and Celery Sticks

Let Carrie know if you're joining the challenge
