It's interesting to me to catch glimpses of someone's life at home like this post. In particular, I'd like to know more about the picture of yourself as a young child, if you don't mind sharing. Is it something that you've had there for a while? What significance does it hold for you?
My grandmother was a SHM who became a professional photographer after her children left home. She made a satisfying and fulfilling career for herself in her older years. This picture of me was one of the first portraits she did, taken in her basement. She later won many awards for her photography. When she died a few years ago I set out several of the pictures she had done, to remind me of her.
Cool. The Plot Against America is great.

A clock radio.
A lamp.
My desk is in my bedroom, so it serves as my nightstand. It's covered with about 50 items, ranging from a stack of 15+ books, to a HAM radio, to a empty bowl that had ice cream, to a stack of cds that have been in the same spot for half a year.
...time to do some spring cleaning.
The Power of Myth and Misquoting Jesus were on my nightstand not too long ago. I love seeing what other people are reading!
My nightstand is a 4' high bookshelf..fully loaded. I have an antique brass lamp to read by, my alarm clock with a dry washrag over the face of it because I love the clock features but not the green light. The rest: A tub of Vick's Veporub(purely for comfort as a reminder of my mom), two bottles of hand cream, love letters from DH from his deployments, a constant glass of water, a lemon grass candle, tons of scrunches, a cylinder that I made in my first pottery class to hold pens and pencils, a marbled composition book and tissues.
let's see...i have two,one on each side that only I get to use since i'm single(sigh)...the one on my right-my antique blue lamp on a white doily, ugly alarm clock, ball canning jar i use for a glass, always full of water in case of night-time thirst attacks, 4 quarters. these items are on the top...on the bottom shelf- BoM on tape case, Church History in the Fullness of Times, and the past 4 issues of the Ensign.
Table on the left, top- my new journal, which i vowed i'd write in every night,following Wilford Woodruff's example which i haven't done b/c i'm too lazy, two "Teachings of the Pres" books-Wilford Woodruff and Spencer W. Kimball, "The Journey Beyond Life" by Dr. David Willmore, "The Lost language of symbolism", Scriptures, pens, my baptism program(someday i'll put it in a scrapbook...maybe!), a small CD player, Medicine Woman-a 3 CD collection by Medwyn Goodall(appeals to the Goddess in me!),and my splints i wear at night for carpal tunnel. hmmm-i've never examined this before-its interesting reading what we all keep on our nightstands!!
oh, and i forgot- DUST!!! on both sides of course.
