OT: Bed Attire

Do you have stuff on your bed, that's just there for decoration, you know fancy pillows, stuffed animals, that sort of thing?

I use to collect stuffed animals when I was younger. I currently have 5 stuffed animals that live on my bed. The animals are:

The first teddy bear I got as a kid that was not a hand me down. His name is Fonzi. A bear Thom bought for me when we were in high school and he went to France. His name is Thom, pronounced with a French accent. A bear and a bunny that are a set, other than being different animals, that Thom got on a trip to Washington. Their names are Bear and Bunny. A rabbit, with no name, that his parents gave us to celebrate our first Easter in the house.

Then I have 4 hand made pillows. Two that my third grade teacher, next door neighbor, kind of responsible for making me who I am in a good way, made. One that my aunt made and one that my high school Latin teacher made.

Somehow all this stuff ended up on the wrong side of the bed one morning and Thom stacked it all neatly under his side table. It just kind of cracked me up that he refused to put it all back on the bed. He 'd much rather it all went away.

Yes. My rabbit and my husband´s teddy bear seem to get along quite well. Not sure what they talk about when we are at work though:)

The only "decorations" we have on the bed are the real Border Terrier and Border Collie who reluctantly allow us to have approx 6 inches of the queen size bed to sleep.

i use to put my tigger on the bed before i moved up here.

now on our head board is the bear and wolf animals ron got me while he was in town. and the moose i got him on one of my work trips.

Um, yeah I have to admit some space is dedicated to the two dachshunds. The short-hair has to have his own pile of blankets. :) One is a leopard design, though. I'm less froo-froo than my GF, so I would be the one putting stuff out of sight. So I say - hold your ground and put them back on the bed! What are spouses for except to mildly drive each other crazy...

I have a couple of things I'd LIKE to put on my bed but I don't know where to put them when I take them off at night. Our dogs sleep in our room and they like to chew on stuffies that might be laying around, and of course, there's dog hair all over the place so I don't like putting extra pillows on the floor...

My cat sleeps with us. Actually she takes up a 1/3 of the bed. For something so tiny she certainly can stretch herself out when sleeping. Otherwise nothing is on the bed except an old Amish Quilt and an afghan my grandmother knit for me decades ago.

We just have two pillows each and two very lazy miniature schnauzers. The dogs insist on so much room we had to upsize our bed to a king! Actually it was planned since we got married because DH is 6'2" and a I am bed hog, but blaming the dogs is more fun!

I keep a couple stuffed animals on top of my dresser, they are all very sentimental to me. A stuffed pig DH bought me for our first dating anniversary, my college Mascot from my late Pawpaw, an elephant my college roommate gave me, a Rottweiler DH got me, an Eeyore from Animal Kingdom and another Teddy Bear from DH. Plus a stuffed dog lives on the floor, I got him before DH would let me get a real dog.

Nothing on the bed except the two cats, when they feel like it. My teddy bear, "T-bear", sits on the dresser. There's a picture of me at about one month old, face down in my crib, with T-bear sitting on my back. I have a feeling this one was posed. Now, of course, we'd call that picture of me in the crib SIDS waiting to happen! :p but since I survived it, I call it really cute. T-bear was all fluffy and had a bow and everything. Now she's mostly bald and scrawny. I have taken her with me all over the world, and still take her to the window to show her the first snow fall every winter. T-bear has a little rattle in one of her feet. That's how she talks. She's very wise. :)

This makes me so sentimental. We called my Texan grandfather Paw-paw. No one uses the term here in Kahleefohnia. Sigh . . . . .

The only stuffed animal on my bed is my DH:rolleyes: HA!

Bed a tire?

Okay, so I've gone a little too far but my bed is covered with stuffed animals. They all have names, and all have "personalities" - the collectible Grimace from McDonalds likes french fries, the ancient teddy bear likes to go on adventures, the little otter is a spy (and he usually goes in my pack when we go hiking and gets photographed at the summit), the snowman wants us to move further north, and so on.

Yes, I'm an adult. Yes, I'm married. Yes, my husband has actually picked out and even named many of them. Yes, I know I need therapy. :)

We *have* a stuffed foxy who I cuddle with sometimes, but she 'guards' the bed alcove, mostly... GF is an "active sleeper" and will simultaneously steal blankets/remove anything 'in her way' in her sleep... or wrap me up in blankets and hold me down if I'm tossing/turning too much... so our sheets have to be well-tucked and one pillow each. Every time the well-made bed is turned into a disaster area, I look at her (or vice versa) and say "This is why you can't have nice things!" :p Though... I think she gets to say it to me more. :D

who could ask for a more cuddly toy? :D

+1 on that, except in our case it is 2 Burmese cats.

Who would have thought something so small could take up so much space, and ours is a king bed.

We have 3 extraneous objects on our bed, a small lavander, heart-shaped pillow, a large heart-shaped pillow that we call "the love pillow", and my stuffed bunny that I like to sleep with, which I cleverly call "my bunny":o

is it one of those cool pillows you can put "toys" in? thought about getting one of those just becasue they seemed neat, but no real reason to have one. i don't have to hide stuff like that around here.... if i had any.

The "toys" do not stay in the bed at Chez Knot.

The bed is for the dog, the books, the laundry I forgot, the 3 pillows, the neck roll, a couple squeeky dog toys, a couple pairs of forgotten socks, and for some odd reason my cable bike lock. Soon to be removed.

cool! During this last heat wave, when temps soared close to 100 and the air was so humid you could cut it with a knife, I took to checking the weather at assorted towns in Alaska and other "far north" locations, just to remind myself that there are still places that don't suck.

My favorite, though, was the one report from the summit of Mt. Washington at 3:00 pm - 62 degrees, winds at 40mph with gusts to 50 mph. Yikes.

ahh thats nothing!

KnottedYet, ooh, no toys but she has a cable lock. Kinky :D

Well it's only kinky the first time :rolleyes: cable lock? hmm.

I have a stuffed cocker spaniel with a bell in her ear on the night stand, I don't recall her name. Mom tells me this was my favorite stuffed animal.

Have one of those cylindrical Japanese pillows, and regular pillows. The dog sleeps on the floor or is crated. She steals the covers. So if she's on the floor some will always end up under the dog.

Road bike's in the bedroom on Michelangelo bike rack.

Oddly, I have a sticker on my fender that says that... right under the sticker that has a pic of a bike and the caption "Put the fun between your legs" :p

Oh, geez, I'm lost for words. I was going to post "Well, KY, I understand the cable lock but..." ...and then was unsure of the punch line, so y'all get to make up your own.


...and Hurleygirl, trolls don't make nerds. Nightelves make nerds. =)

Dispair.com eh? It's not just a poster, it's a way of life...:cool:

I recently told my sister that, should I croak unexpectedly, her prime objective is to get rid of the shoebox under the bed. Not to open it. Just to throw it out. Before Mom arrives. She said, "Sure."

I am so glad to have a sister.

:o :rolleyes: :p

yeah, now just don't croak unexpectedly on the bed with the shoebox piles of spent batteries and a big silly grin :D

Hmmm, tough one to control for. Oh, well, I'll be dead. How embarrassed can you be when you're dead?! :rolleyes:

*You* may be dead, but the memories will live on... ;)

*you* may be dead but oh the wake we'd have ;)

and the thread with dire warnings to never ever ever do *this* ....

so if you do go out that way, wear a helmet :rolleyes:

Ooooh, no. I'm not going to be found in that state, with a helmet on! :eek:

oh c'mon. I'd never swing from my trapeze without it, even though of course there's the net. ;)

I mean what if I missed the flaming hoops and fell into the trained poodles on their roller skates below :confused: ... and then they'd find the box ... I mean ya just gotta have a helmet and road id ;)

Though I suppose given that situation, the first time would be the last. Surely there'd be pictures on rotten.com


Okay, ladies... I'm the last person in the world to tell people to be 'decent' or 'proper' but...

Cable locks, helmets, and bike lights etc (because that's the only thing mentionable on this forum that would use batteries, that I can think of!) probably have no place as 'bed attire'. :D

Now shoo, everyone, and behave yourselves, because this thread is getting an undue amount of 'naughtiness' on it!

Ok, la la la la laaaa back on topic sort of:

Do you put out your cycling clothes before a ride or just grab 'em and go?

I tend to have 2-3 outfits put together on a shelf at all times: shorts, jersey, socks, sports bra, vest. Got into the habit because if I ride to work, if I have to find 'em or think about it in the morning....I'm just not riding. So it's always there.

But that's not on the bed it's on the dresser.

Then there's the bag in the car for the dojo; gi, hakama, obi, knee brace, spare shirt...

Another bag in the car with spare stuff for cycling; just in case I get to the ride and forgot gloves, sunscreen....

I don't workout, I pack ;-)

i have all my cycling clothes in a drawer in the spare room. i know where to find it when i want them.... usually.

the thread got interesting for a while there.....

whadya think this is? thread drift? ;)

Ahh ladies, thanks for the sunday morning giggle..Much more exciting than thinking about househunting. (househunting for a special place to put that box..:eek: )

For a moment there i was :o ...Ít's sunday morning & my brain is fuzzy...excuse me while i wash my brain out & re read the posts...:eek: :D

Back to regular CrazyCanuck style posts...

c

back on topic, sorta, taking off from CWR...
I never give much thought to my ride stuff. If I'm going on a long one, I take my shorts (only one pair) or they're sitting where they dry in the laundry room. I have a special drawer for tanks and dry-fit clothes and otherwise just wear a wifebeater (in Euge. I've heard they're called 'man-beaters' if D.O.Bs wear them!) and cargo shorts... I'm pretty laid-back about my choice in clothes... :o
