The nightstand

For some reason, we keep everything on our nightstand. Are we that lazy, that once we're in bed we need everything to be at hand's reach. It's been a mess for ages now and so I decided to tackle it today.
The before:

If you're wondering why there's a diet coke there since I did my coke check last night, it's because I got it this morning but never opened it. So there it is in the photo. There are some other embarrassing objects in this photo too, but I wanted to show it accurately. This is what this looks like every day. And I call it a nightstand, but really it's Russ's laptop table. We never used it for that, and it got set up by our bed and here it is today. Anyway on the table is the essentials: alarm clock, remotes, etc...
But there's also Vitamin C pills. Why? Business cards.Deodorant. Really weird stuff that doesn't belong.
Here's the after:

It's from a totally different angle, but when I went to take another, my camera died. So this is what you get. The essentials are still there. The rest has found a new home. Mostly they got tossed in the junk box. This is MUCH better. Hopefully it'll stay this way for a while.
