My Shelf!

So Kristen and I have been married for just over 3 months now.  As part of our daily routine, we go to school at ASU and then I go to work, while Kristen stays at home and does her job from our apartment.  I usually get home around 9:30 or 9:45 at night which is when we eat dinner and then get ready for bed and spend the evening snuggling and watching "Lost", movies, or T.V.

Our bed is situated in such a way that it is up against the north wall and the head-board is against the east wall.  Kristen who regularly uses the bathroom during the night has the side of the bed that is accessable to get in and out of easily.  This also means that she can put drinks or pens and papers or whatever she might need on the dresser by the bed.  But it means that I have to ask her to pass me things or reach over and get things if she is already asleep.  It's not horrible, but a few weeks back I started thinking how cool it would be to have my own little shelf right on the wall that I sleep next to.  A shelf for my glass of water, eye-glasses, pens, and maybe the DirecTV remote.  So yesterday we went to Target and I purchased a small black shelf about 12" x 4".  I installed it using my handy cordless drill and now I have the perfect little shelf which has already proved to be very useful in the 2 days that I have had it up.  :)
