Adam’s bag of crap

Yes, his bag of crap.

Have you heard of Woot.com? Every day there is a daily deal and then sometimes there is a “woot off” whereas when an item sells a new item is placed for sale right away. This website is Adam’s fav, you see. Apparently, unbeknown to me he has been dreaming of and trying to get their infamous bag of crap for years.  What is a bag of crap, you may ask? Here are the crap commandments listed when you go to try to buy a bag of crap (which is very difficult to do because according to Adam….THEY HAVE SOLD OUT EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TRIED TO BUY ONE FOR YEARS!!!!!)

THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS
I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and THREE crappy items.
II. Thou shalt not whine and complain when some people’s crap turns out to be nicer than yours.
III. Thou shalt take a moment to consider whether you might be better off just not buying this crap.

IV. Thou shalt not expect better crap just because things are different this time. Crap is crap.
V. To paraphrase Stephen Stills, shalt thou not get the crap you want, want the crap you get.

So, needless to say when he successfully got through and purchased a bag of crap he was so excited and watched the tracking number until the very day it got here….even knowing that it weighed 4.18lbs, this $8 bag of crap (that includes shipping and handling).

This is what it looks like when you buy it so I was very disappointed when there was actually no bag in the box. At times it is the simple things for me (only at times, though).

What was in his bag of crap? Mostly crap, you might say. The anticipation of getting it was worth it, though. Kind of like anticipating going on vacation and a whole lot cheaper so that is cool. Here is what he got:

  • Two baby bottles (actually they are fancy ones, too)
  • Ear muffs
  • Two flying monkeys (these would be more exciting if we could use them but we probably shouldn’t because we are thinking they may have had something to do with what started our dog’s seizure disorder). Just kidding, although it could be true but it does freak her out so we can’t use them.
  • An eyeclops projector case (anybody know what this or have a use for this?) ha ha
  • Set of two Aqua Globes to water your plants (all I’ve ever heard is they don’t work)….anyone else heard otherwise????

Here is a picture of the actual loot:

Should have had a paper bag in there...I'm just sayin'

Seriously...if anyone is needing an eyeclops projector bag let us know!

Valentine’s Box

Yep. You read correctly. I made a Valentine’s Day box. I am a 34 year old woman and made a Valentine’s Day box and had soooo much fun doing it. My husband helped and he had fun too! There are some girls at the clinic that made some last week (mainly from the office area) and the idea got me so giddy I couldn’t wait to make it! Just ask my nurse. She now says that nothing I say will ever surprise her. “Janna, guess what? I’m gonna make a Valentine’s Day box! Janna, I’m gonna make my own laundry soap. Janna, I think I’m going bald. Janna, I forgot to put deodorant on-do I smell?”

I decided to make an ambulance and enlisted my dear Husband’s help. I’m telling you this was the most fun the two of us have had by ourselves in a long time. We sat at a 6 foot table and it felt like we were in art class in 5th grade. It was great! We even drank soda pop! At the end Adam said, “ahhh, what a sense of accomplishment”. The great part is that it only cost $4. I had all of the paper, the brads, glue, metal strip thingy for the grill, paper, etc already in my scrap booking stash. All we bought was the white foam board and the lights for the top which are heart shaped rings~a buck a piece!
