march 4: BEDSIDE
this is kp's side of the bed, the side i sleep on when he's not here (bob takes my side). i started doing it immediately upon my return to new orleans last summer. i didn't think about it, i just got in on his side of the bed my first night home. and stayed there. somehow the bed feels less empty over there...
and when it's not covered in receipts and "runner's world" magazines, i think his side of the bed is very chic. i bought the asian-style tables in berkeley for our first christmas together - i think they were the first pieces of furniture i ever purchased (i was 27!). i scored the groovy faux bois lampshade for $5 at urban outfitters that same year. the coaster is also a faux bois design (i guess i have a thing for it). the alarm clock may have come out of his room from home - it's old and dirty, but with a name like "dream machine," we'll probably never get rid of it. a happy buddha sits on top. behind the alarm clock is a jack unruh illustration of louisiana and mississippi that i picked up last summer at his annual art sale in dallas (he is an amaaaazing illustrator, and when i hit the lottery, i'm going to buy this for our cabin in montana). the lonely planet australia was a bday gift from kp. at night, before bed, i plan our adventures down under.
