Flannel Shirt meets Big Black Beast (new comfy office chair)

Getting a comfy new office chair was on the agenda. Since we were heading into town, that meant I had to get out of paint clothes and put on something clean.

(story about a simple casual girl buying a BIG FANCY CHAIR)

... continued ...

I wasn't all that pleased with what I saw in my closet... nothing spoke to me. (meaning, everything was in the dirty laundry) But well... we had to go. And that's when I spotted it. My mom's old school flannel shirt.

Would I look like a complete dork if I wore it into town I pondered.... Hmm... I threw on a tank, tied it at the waist and called it good. Who cares. There is nothing but NOTHING that feels better than a well worn old school flannel shirt, especially when it's your mom's. :)

Whaddaya think? Should we bring back the flannel shirts tied at the waist again?

Anyway, I'm starting this story with the flannel shirt because that shirt is everything I am. Just... casual. And what you're about to read next is the total opposite and totally out of my element.

So we head into town with one other thing in mind. I needed a real computer chair. My half a century old neck was demanding upper class treatment, so ok, OK! I finally listened.

We waltzed into Staples, and tried many. MANY. All of them. 20 times over even. And then I was down to three. My poor son, bored out of his tree... because I take a long time to make a decision.

I finally handed him my phone and told him to go play... but instead he took pics... great. Can't you tell I'm impressed? Be prepared for some blur.. he doesn't stand still for long.

(check out those dirty knees.. nice try being clean)

I kept trying to bypass the price because I wanted the RIGHT chair. So I ignored the tags and finally decided on... The Big Black Beast. I mean, they're ALL black anyway (what's up with that?!) but you'll see what I mean soon.

We wheeled it right outta the store off the floor. No more waiting or trying to make out install directions. PAY, TAKE AND GO.

"oooooo aaaahhhh"

Man oh man this is about the ritziest thing I have in the house. It's not funky and there isn't an ounce of junk to it. It's just a VERY. NICE. $300. CHAIR. Yes. You. Heard. That. Right. Ouch. But. I. Had. To. Do. It. Right. This. Time. Yup, it was the most expensive one in the store. Figures! But it fit like a glove and that's all that mattered.

(I just checked online... it's on sale for $100 off until June 27th! Back I go! Glad I wrote this story)

I just told myself it was the same price as a round of grocery shopping but this will last. :)

It must be a standard. Check out those gears! (it does everything I tell it to)

It's made out of 'bonded leather.' ( a mix of real and fake)  Looks like the real deal anyway.

The beast sits in THIS office and is a tad softer than those gorgeous Windsors. (*sniff*)

Flannel, meet BBB. And get use to each other, because I'm now officially a little bit country and a little bit non funky non junky... beast?

What kinda office chair are you spinning around in?
