When I graduated from high school and started my college shopping 10 years ago, I never would have imagined that the 99 cent wooden lap desk I bought would be my smartest purchase not just for those next four years but would remain in continual use to this day.
That lap desk has held homework from Mount Union, La Roche and Kent State; thank you notes from all of my Avon Walks; Christmas cards; my best friend's wedding shower invitations; two MacBooks and now a Netbook; manicures; and DIY projects.
The once clean surface now features the remains from many of these tasks, including Sharpie marks, nail polish, hot glue and glitter. It holds so many memories from the last 10 years and hopefully will remain a great investment into the future.
Who would have thought I would still be using my 99 cent Wal-Mart purchase 10 years later?
