We bought a desk!
We have been wanting to buy a desk so Spencer can study more at home, but have been putting off purchasing one since craigslist catastrophes and Spencer's tuition drained all of our desk buying money. Yesterday, Spencer called me from Walmart because he finally found our affordable desk! He explained to me that it was awesome because it was big, because it was foldable, and because the height was adjustable, which means we could move it out of our bedroom and into the living room to use as a coffee table when he's not studying! I told him he could buy it that very instant as long as he promised that we would never ever use it as a coffee table.
When he brought it home that night and set it up (unfolded it), he was so excited and kept saying how great it looked in our room. I told him that if by "great" he meant "it matched great", then he was right on! Our plastic, foldable, height-adjustable desk matches our plastic foldable chair, plastic night stands, plastic fan, and plastic laundry baskets just perfectly. I would post a picture but is it really that hard to picture in your mind?
Our set up may not be aesthetically pleasing or eco-friendly, but it is the cheapest brand-spanking-new stuff we could find, so it works for us!
Judging by the title of this post, I totally thought you were going to announce that you were pregnant. But desks are cool too!
ReplyDeleteI love this! We don't have much new plastic stuff, but we've sure got a lot of second-hand mismatched things in our house... Hooray for grad school budgets (aka being really poor)!
