I Pulled A Holly

Last week I was putting together my desk. I hadn't really needed it or cared all that much until I started realizing it isn't super fun working on a laptop on the couch or in bed all the time. It's a pretty simple metal-and-glass desk, but I haven't fully unpacked and I couldn't find all the pieces. The lacking piece was a five-inch long, curved piece of metal that attached the two rectangular pieces of the desk into an L-shape, and held up the glass for the attaching L.

I looked everywhere and couldn't find the stupid piece of metal. I called OfficeMax to see if they still had the desk or the pieces or anything, and then I realized I ordered the desk from OfficeDEPOT four years ago. Like I'm going to remember details like that.

I took a break from being peeved and was playing with Kobe outside when Mom came out and showed me the missing piece! I pulled a Holly--I totally screamed.

Maggie, I wish you were here to say your classic line: "Maybe there's a pillow you could scream into."
