Fun Monday Assignment for Monday 28th January!
Choosing an assignment for Fun Monday is incredibly difficult!
I'm relatively new to this, having only participated in five Fun Mondays, but my feeling is that Fun Monday satisfies the need in all of us to be incredibly nosy about other people without actually being rude about it! I once had a friend who constantly berated her mother for being nosy and staring out of the window and "spying" on her neighbours. She was unrepentant and said that she was not being nosy, she was just interested in people, and that line has stuck with me over the years!!
I came up wth some humdingers but I wanted to avoid anything that might dredge up unhappy memories for people or anything too serious that wasn't fun to write about. After all, it's not called Glum Monday is it! I also wanted it to be something that was easy to write about. I am incredibly lazy and if an assignment is going to require huge amounts of thought to put it into words, then I probably wouldn't even do it myself!
So if you haven't fallen asleep yet, here's your Fun Monday Assignment for Monday 28th January!
So continuing in the spirit of "being interested in people", I would like to know, or see, what's on, in or under your bedside table! So open those draws and bare your soul to us! Is there anything special there that has a story or a memory that you can tell us about? Books that you keep there to delve into from time to time? Trinkets that you don't know where else to put? Let's see!
Please post to this blog if you wish to participate and I will get a list up in my sidebar.

Please count me in but I have so much junk there~ actually it will be a good thing to have a clear out!
I'll play!
I'll play, too. I'll clean first but then I'll play!
(she was not being nosy, she was just interested in people) I'll have to remember that!
Count me in for next week. Sorry haven't been on line, but been busy.
I've seen the Fun Monday on several of my blogs that I regularly visit. I enjoy them, but I assume this is a separately worked out group??? (Don't want to barge in where I'm not asked!)

Patience, not at all. If you want to join in you just visit the blog of whoever is hosting it that week...and this week it's me....and say you'd like to participate and you get added to the list! Very informal! Shall I add you in!?
OK I'm in, do I list the stuff here in the comments??
Andre, that's great! No, you wait until next Monday and write the post on your blog as you would normally. Just title it Fun Monday!
me, me, me! I won't even clean it up first, and I'll post a pic to prove it!

Add me..I know Iam ussually late...I can't seem to get the link thing to work in my posts!! But I can get it to work on the side so I'll try!!
I have no bedside table. Just a tv tray that I will set my cell phone (alarm clock) on when I go to bed at night.
Your post about watching neighbors reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock's movie Rear Window. Its an oldie, but good and all about spying on your neighbors.
Please add a very belated funny Monday bedside table post: my blog is http://happyathome.homeschooljournal.net/
How do we know who is hosting next and what next week's question is?
best wishes
