My new big girl office, sort of

by Laura on July 10, 2008

in My Life, Office

I didn’t get to posting today because it was my hubby’s birthday and I knew exactly what would make him happy AND it’s not what your thinking! Nope I knew he’d be happy with a clean house and let’s just say our standards are very very different. I’m definitely a little more on the lax side of things to say the least. So house clean I did and for one whole day our house is a shining, tomorrow you won’t even be able to tell the difference (I’m potty training a two year old after all) which makes me wonder why I even bothered in the first place. Oh right, happy hubby, how can I forget that!

My reward after all my hard work though was well worth the wait. I got to spend time organizing my new big girl office, except it’s not really an office, it’s more like an office area but it’s all mine nonetheless (I’ve always wanted to use the word nonetheless in a sentence, gee could it be my new big girl office is making me smarter already?).

About a year ago, when I apparently started taking up too much time on the family computer with my blogging “hobby”, my hubby purchased me a laptop. I love having a laptop and I was pretty impressed with the little laptop tray that I bought to go along with it. Nowadays though, with my blogging “hobby” turned blogging business, I spend far too much a lot more time on the computer and the ergonomics of my hand-me-down recliner and laptop tray started to take their tole on me.

So yesterday I finally purchased a big girl desk which technically, as per the friendly Staples salesgirl that sold it to me, is considered a “student” desk but hey I’m making progress nonetheless (look there’s that word again!). I even got myself a new chair to go with it, all for $120.00 ($60.00 each)! Here check it out.

After:

Now don’t go expecting this new desk to produce any type of superior results around here on this ole blog (I used a big word twice in this one post, what more do you want?) because really once a freak always a freak, ain’t no matter what kind of chair you sit in :)

Now I’m curious where do you blog?

I love your new blogging spot :)

I am a lucky girl, as I have a pc I share with my hubby in our study and I also have a wireless laptop so I can go anywhere I fancy as well. Often I am just at the dining room table.

I blog sitting on the couch with my laptop on my lap or at my very very messy/cluttered desktop computer! You are inspiring me to clean it up!

I blog at [ehem!] work. During down time, lunch time, and early in the morning.

Very ergo-friendly, and free from crazytoddlertakingoverhome — my child.

Love the desk. Have the tray. Love that too. But not for blogging.

I do, though, think of posts at home — 24-7!

It’s beautiful! I blog from the couch. You know me and my couch! I don’t know how I ever lived without my laptop.
