Now, this is what I’m talking about! I can so see me waxing (we’ll pretend) brilliant at this gorgeous Computer Work Center
. Beautifully crafted from laminate over particleboard, this computer desk has all the features needed to make one’s workday easier.
This work center is absolutely gorgeous. When it comes to furniture, I’m all about the details - and the curved loveliness on the left of this center had me from Hello.
Features:
The keyboard shelf and drawers all slide out smoothly on metal glides. One drawer is for multi-purpose storage while the bottom is a file drawer. This home office computer desk has a special shelf specifically made for your computer to be up off the floor and out of your way. The hutch provides you with a shelf for your monitor, 54 CD storage slots on one side and shelves throughout for you to store office supplies and to decorate. Comes with a 5-year limited warranty on products and a lifetime warranty on all hardware. Additional warranty information included in packaging. Moderate assembly is required.This item ships directly from the manufacturer. Product usually arrives in 14-21 business days, depending on destination, including order processing and shipping.
The only thing it’s lacking is a bottomless coffee machine. Just as well, I count the frequent treks to the kitchen as part of my daily exercise. I figure I need about 1,800 trips to and from my Tassimo to meet my daily exercise requirements. Guess that means I’d better knock off a few trips - no need in overdoing it.

I’m normally a very, very chillaxed person. Generally, my nerves and blood pressure are in very good humor. However, one day last week it was one of those “damned days” - they kind where it feels like some evil witch doctor MUST be torturing a miniature you. I was convinced one had a mini me sticking needles in her, throwing her up against the wall, taunting her, and finishing her off by boiling her in a pot of…well, whatever witch doctors use for such occasions.
I literally was looking around for something relaxing! I normally either listen to music or the Food Network when I work, but on that day, even Nickelback and Paula Deen didn’t have any power over the damness of the day. I finally turned on the Weather Channel and drank some Chammomile tea. It worked a little too well, I wound up on my exercise mat with my cats and we weren’t exactly exercising. Either chammomile is potent stuff or the witch doctor shot mini Joi with a tranquilizer dart.
It made me think - having something of a soothing nature on, or near, my desk would have been helpful. I started looking around at fountains, aromatherapy mist machines, candles, etc. One of the things I liked the best was this beauty from The Discovery Channel Store. It’s a Moving Waterfall Picture
and it promises to take me to my own personal oasis. Okay by me.
There aren’t many things that are as relaxing as the sound of moving water. And, I suppose this is the next best thing to lying on the beach or next to a waterfall.
Features:
- Handsome, subtly animated picture simulates the sights and sounds of a secluded cascade for a relaxing experience.
- Built-in backlight illuminates stunning, HD-quality visuals, creating a realistic, beautiful scene.
- Remarkably realistic motion and gentle, running water sounds.
- Volume and light controls allow you to create the escape that best fits your environment and mood.
- Mirror-style frame highlights the picture’s vivid color.
- Power cord with on/off switch included (no batteries required).
- No assembly required.

Ever see something that blows you away so much that you think, “I wish I’d thought of that!” ? The Philips 7" Digital Photo Frame
has that effect on me. As freakin’ if I could’ve come up with the hows and whats of the product, itself (I do well to manipulate the remote control to my dvd player - tricky little cuss), but I’d love to be able to take credit for the concept.
The Philips 7" Digital Photo Frame has enough memory to store 100 photos, meaning that even a grandparent would have enough room.
Other Features:
- Innovative frame receives digital images from camera, memory card or PC and displays them automatically. Options to display single photos, thumbnails or slideshows.
- 14 MB of internal memory lets you save 100 or more full-screen photos.
- High-definition, 133ppi screen displays crisp, vibrant pictures.
- High pixel density (720×480 resolution) provides outstanding clarity.
- Adjustable brightness takes advantage of ambient light conditions to make each picture look its best.
- Display can be pre-set to turn on/off automatically at the time of your choice.
- Simple, intuitive operation means no complicated programming (They’ve heard of me and my remote control..).
- Landscape or portrait display.
- Includes: AC/DC adapter and USB cable.
- Rechargeable battery 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Fling those old frames and photos off of your desk and into a closet - this is a much sweeter way to show off your loved ones.
