Murphy's Law #269

If you wait almost 6 years to buy a real office chair to go with the nice desk you have, the chair that both you and hubby actually agree on will be on sale. Through Saturday. And you show up on Sunday. You will then go sans office chair for say another 6 years or so (I'm guessing).

So no NICE desk chair?? I've debated with Ashley for years on a new nice desk chair and the answer is also no because the one we bought at Target which is black and ugly but comfortable for $40 works just fine..... Yada yada yada....

I found one at Ballard Designs that was love at first sight! It's quite expensive but it's so adorable! Maybe one day!!!

And where are the pics of the new furniture? I'm looking at purchasing a new dinning room table and chairs. Ashley says no but what he doesn't know won't hurt him ;).

Hope everything else is going well!

We have a nice L shaped, heavy, real wood desk---and a lovely blue folding chair as a desk chair. For five years! Pathetic. And we are too cheap to buy the chair we want for full price knowing it was just $80 cheaper.

I have some pics of the dining room table and Emma's bed, but don't know if they've made it on the computer yet. And we are THIS close to finally ordering blinds. YEAH!!

Want me to make you an office chair out of wire cubes and fabric? ;)

I worked for a computer software company that went belly up.. they sold a lot of the office furniture.. I got a chair for 5 bucks... that was 12 years ago... I'm sitting in that chair right now...
