Covering Your Assets

Joelle said around mid-morning on January 10, 2008

I’ve got to go by a client’s place today and introduce him to WordPress (mmm mmm!) and I’ve made an executive decision: I’m stopping afterward to buy myself a new office chair. This chair I’m sitting in is an assault on the human body, specifically my lower back.  I bought it in a pinch, thinking I would get one of those ergonomic jobs that I’ve seen at Office Depot.  I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale, but every time it does, I miss it. I’ve been riding this $40 mesh donkey from Target at least 10 hours a day for a year now and I think it’s time to put it out of it’s misery.  It wasn’t built for web designer wear n’ tear.  Come hell or high water, I’m treating myself to a new chair, sale or not! 

Speaking of assets (Men, feel free to check out here), Ms. Pants and I were chatting this morning about Spanx. I mentioned to her that Target carries Spanx, but they’re called Assets and are $10 less.  She told me I won her “Baby Daddy Award” for the day, so I have to assume she’s pleased.  So, just a lil’ PSA: if you’re a Spanx die-hard, you probably already know, but if you didn’t and are looking to save a buck on your Spanx foundation garments — Spanx = Assets by Sara Blakely.  Sold at Target!  It’s not like they carry all the novelty things that Spanx offers, like the fishnets or the reversible tights, but for your garden-variety foundation stuff in black or nude… get Assets. Same same.

Ok, you just totally won my “I’m completely broke but need a good foundation for that $130 outfit I bought for $16 on sale” award. Seriously...that “sensational shaper” is just what the semi-clingy shirt I got needs.

In return, may I offer this list of online coupon codes for office supplies/furniture that may be useful for your new chair hunt: http://www.fatwallet.com/cash-back-coupons.php?catid=14 The site’s deals thread is worth perusing, as well.

If you can scrape together the change, buy an Aeron.  They will last you for 20 years.  I love mine.  Lumbar support rocks.

One Crazy Summer

I think a mid-Summer update is in order. Oh me oh my!  This Summer has been insane.  But, in that good way. This girl can’t complain!  There are projects looming, launching and everywhere in between that I am so excited to be working on.
