It’s Real Life – where the magic happens

Oh, I am so lucky just to have found out what this week’s It’s Real Life Carnival is about…I just cleaned the entire house yesterday so no dust, no clothes on the floor, no pop-tarts in the bed…"where the magic happens"!  Here are the requests…

 

Under the bed

Here you’ll find our fancy pillows and a bunch of old Nascar posters and cards, especially of Dale Earnhardt Sr. and such that Scott has determined to keep around for collectible and I believe sentimental value.

What’s in and on your dresser

Just the TV, DirecTV box, DVD Player, candles and the vase.  Nothing fancy.

Inside is more interesting.  The cabinet used to house a CD player thing but now it’s sort of a junk drawer mainly consisting of DVDs.  The funniest thing in there?  A set of jelly bra implant things I’ve never worn.  They looked better on the girl on TV.  In the top drawers are my socks, my bathing suits/pantyhose, bras and underwear.  In the bottom left two drawers are my workout clothes/pajamas.

What’s on your night table

That would be my alarm clock, phone, picture, white shirt I set aside yesterday that needs bleached, my Bible, a book by Beth Moore, a book by Dave Edwards, a notebook, my nametag from VBS and oh, I see my iPhone charger hanging out there.

The pictures/decorations

Really there’s not much decorations in there. The down comforter usually does have a shiny red cover on it but it gets too hot in the summer.  I do like my pictures above my bed.  Scott and I bought those after we first got married.  Right now you can see he had a very "I’m 15" moment and stuck some pictures of me around the frame.  On "the list" of things to get are a nightstand for him that matches mine and we want some different lamps.  Maybe something with a chocolate brown or red shade.

What you love about it

I love our furniture.  It’s very simple.  We bought it when we first got married and stained it all ourselves. If I had to do over, I may have gone with a very dark walnut stain.

What you hate about it

The decorating is lacking.  I really want something on that left wall but can’t figure out anything.

It’s small.  I would love something big enough for a little sitting area in there.

What makes it uniquely you

Probably this picture.  This is on the tall dresser on the right.  I think the overall coloring of the room is very "me".

What you sleep in (let’s keep it G ;-))

In the dead of winter sometimes I sleep in jogging pants and a long sleeved t-shirt.  At all other times, I sleep with nothing and no pictures of that!!
