What Was In That Big Box

(Originally posted 10/27/14.  I’m probably home from work and have a lot of housework to catch up on and a neighbor too feed. Hope you are still boycotting Black Friday.  Luckily I have no money to spend anyways so for me it was easy!  Enjoy this follow up to the other post I re-posted today!)

I’m happy to report I got that big box open, the one I mentioned in yesterday’s post about Team Arya and My Big Box and Little Vacuum. Today when preparing my work table for the Announcer folding (the link is the October issue so check to the church website after November 1st if you are curious -I changed the formatting finally as I’m getting even more creative through all this crazy) there was the box and I had to move it.  In a split second I decide to throw it on the floor and BAM just like that it opened.

As I took a picture to send Pastor (because its his day off today and he deserved to see this) I just laughed and laughed and laughed. It was that easy and of course what was inside of it made no sense whatsoever to keep in a locked box with no key. Nope, not a bit of sense, just crazy.

In my wildest fantasies I saw money, assets, old things that I could sell to help me out in these desperate times (no not really I have no time to think that’s going to happen these days).  None to be found though but what I did find was three sets of dry erase pens, (I have no dry erase board to use them on nor a need for one) post it notepads (there are hundreds all over the office, I’ve never had to order any in 4 years and they still keep coming) an old Texas Instruments pocket calculator, (hmm, I wonder what that would go for on Ebay?) some owner’s manuals to old things that aren’t here anymore and a device wrapped in a note explaining that “the big piece is to be used if St. Peter’s turns the wall phone into a desktop unit.  The 2 smaller pieces are for the office phones if they are ever converted into wall units” dated 1/93.

I hit the Jackpot

Amazing finds if you are an office supply freak

Does anyone need an empty lock box without a key?

Holy Cow is that just crazy or what?  And I just cannot stop laughing about it and I’m so glad for it. I’m sure there’s a lesson or message in here somewhere but all that comes to mind right now is that it’s just funny and crazy and laughing feels so good.

So I hope if nothing else I made you smile or laugh today, and that you keep letting the crazy come on and laugh at it too.  On the way to get my grand baby now!

Love, Encouragement and Blessings,
