Today started off with a doctor’s appointment and a trip to the lab for bloodwork. Just general physical goodies, and it could have been a really bad day if it wasn’t for the many highlights that made it better.
1. I finally found a desk that we both like! It is *huge* – 36″ x 72″. It has a giant leg opening underneath, because Mike hates to bump his knees into the walls. It has drawers for filing, because I have things to file. It matches the study, because I’m all about asthetics. And the best part? I found it at Cort Furniture Rental, in their resale (clearance) side, and got a fabulous price for it. The year-long desk hunt is finally over.
2. Then! Then! The DHL guy came, picked up the signed slip since I missed him on Monday, and dropped off my free photo iPod! It is heavier than I expected, but it is beautiful. I love it. It is charging now, so I can fill it full of music goodness later on. Know what that means? I’ll be doing a drawing soon (by the weekend) for a gift certificate to be awarded to one of the wonderful people that completed an offer to help me get the free iPod. After I pick a winner, maybe I should name the iPod after them?
3. Then! As if it couldn’t get any better! I got a box from Amazon! I won the drawing at Mel’s site for being a registered user. She sent me Knitted Shawls, Stoles & Scarves and At Knit’s End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much. (Also know as Bookbookbook at the author’s site.) If you have never read the Yarn Harlot, give her a try. She is hysterical. I am looking forward to the wisdom I will gain as I knit beautiful things.
It could have been a bad day. Instead, it was fabulous.

While you’re over there picking up your desk, will you see if they have a weeny little corner unit for my son? I haven’t been able to find one of those anywhere.
What is a corner unit? And unfortunately – I won’t be back over there. They are delivering it – there was no way to fit it in the Honda!
yay! I’m so glad it got to you 😀 I hope you enjoy!
It did! It did! And I immediately spent time laughing over several pages of the Meditations book, and drooling over many patterns in the shawl book!
How cool of a day is that? Now the thing that would have been the crowning jewel is if you say you got some good knitting time in there as well! 😉
That’s so awesome! Hope you enjoy all your new gadgets and goodies.
Which site did you go through to get the free ipod photo? I never did the regular ipod one but I’d like to get in on this one. 😉
I got it from freephotoipods.com – I can send you a link for a friend that is trying to finish their offer if you want to sign up! (May as well sign up from someone instead of signing up directly!)
Sounds like a great deal … wish I would have heard about this sooner!
Actually, Rose, they always have desks on sale like that. Just have to watch for when they have what you want in the store!
