The New Office

We went shopping this weekend to check out new desks.  Momma and I have been talking about this for a while, and the need became even stronger when my niece and I moved my old desk to exchange the carpet protector for a new one, and managed to lift the top of the desk completely off its bones.

Niece:  Omigod, I'm sorry, did I do that?
Me:  This desk is older than I am.  And now easier to assemble!

Momma offered me the desk in her bedroom, and I really, really thought that that would be the way to go, until we went to Office Depot and I was met with this:

What could I do?  I fell in love immediately, ran over, sat in the big grown-up chair, and I think Momma knew that her checkbook was doomed.  The death knoll, however, was the fact that this desk has not one, not two, but THREE file drawers:

I know, only two are picture, but still!  How amazing is it to get that much storage in a place that's not an industrial-looking filing cabinet?

The piece de resistance, pardon my French, was that the chair was so amazing that once I gave it up and let Momma sit in it, she blocked a vital Office Depot artery on a busy Saturday and did not give a damn.  I don't have a picture of that, so you'll have to settle for the chair:

Price tag and all.  Put together, this is how it looks (not yet in my office, but on display):

When all is done in my office, I'll post more pictures, and maybe even my matching diplomas!
