Because everyone else is doing it, and therefore it is cool:
My nightstand.
On my nightstand, I have the following items:
1. My alarm clock, set for 6:33am. The reason for that is that I set it for 6:30, accidentally hit "off" instead of "snooze" one day, and so changed the setting for 6:33 so that I could have a second chance at the snooze button, instead of actually getting my lazy butt out of bed. :) I normally hit that snooze about 3 times each morning. I think it's Trinitarian on some level. Start the day off right, I always say. ;)
2. My statue of St. Cecilia I got in Rome. I love that statue.
3. A new statue of St. Dominic (right next to St. Cecilia, of course).
4. My "Good Night to the Blessed Mother" prayer, that way I remember each night.
5. A St. Dominic prayer card (that came with the new statue).
6. My holy water bottle. I always throw holy water on my bed before climbing in every night, whilst praying a Hail Mary. Learned that one in Nashville.
There are no books on the nightstand, although they cover the floor surrounding it. Currently I have 2 Bibles (NAB and GNT), my Christian Prayer, Maurice & Therese, The World's First Love, Mere Christianity, St. Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox, and a lot of vocational literature I received at Vocation Camp...I don't know what life would be without books surrounding me while I sleep.
And on a more superficial note: today at IKEA I got some really awesome things for really awesome prices! I got Roman blinds for $5.99, a linen floor lamp (one of those tube-y sort of deals) for $14.99 (it was half price), bamboo blinds for $6.99, a little coatrack for $1.99 and other odds-and-ends type deals. It was wonderful. I can't believe school starts so soon - I am getting terribly excited! YAY LORAS!
Well, it's time for bed - this is my only day to sleep in...might as well make the most of it! We'll give Sunday its proper due as the "day of rest". Hoorah.
Caritas et veritas.
