Awesome Weekend Causes Desk Dilemma

I’m bad, I know. I didn’t have a Thursday or a Friday Daily Dose. Well, I started it, but got a bit sidetracked. I don’t have an excuse for forgeting it on Friday, as I have a drafted double-feature, but it got forgotten, and then yesterday, yesterday — well yesterday was just fantastic!

We woke up, and I had expected it to be a casual Saturday — trip to Ikea, lunch, get my hair done, call it a night. But first thing yesterday morning, I get an email from Henry over at webdesignledger.com saying that I — yes I — won a 24″ iMac!!

Excuse me while I gush — but this is totally sweet! I can’t recall having won anything before — and this is an ultimate prize! I have had my eye on these babies for 2-3 years now, having almost bought one off an old roommate. And now I have one of my own! Of course, this also solidfies my need for a new, sleek desk. I currently have Ikea’s Fredrik desk, which is great for function — but ugly as sin. I would love to have West Elm’s Parson’s desk, but I think I may go with World Market’s Loft desk:

It’s also a bit more in my price range. :)

What good things have happened to you this weekend?

    Congrats! I have the World Market Desk and I love it. Actually I have two (one for me, one for my live in boyfriend). I came across your blog today after seeing you on Young House Love. I think we live in the same area, too. I live in Fairfax, VA. Weird.
