A Little Something

A few weeks ago my co-workers and I were trying to decide what sort of gift we wanted to give a co-worker who was getting married. We really had no idea and ended up getting him a gift card for a place where he and his fiance were registered. While we were talking about the gift, I came across the Something Store.

Have you heard of this? You give them $10 and they send you something. Two of us decided to give them the money and agreed to open the box at work. I got my box over the long weekend and then I worked at another location yesterday so I’d had the box for days and couldn’t open it. I opened it this morning after everyone had arrived and I got an eggling. My eggling is supposed to produce a petunia plant.

I considered just leaving the egg on my desk but then decided I owed it to all of us to see if the plant would actually grow in my bleak little office. I cracked open the egg and nearly broke it beyond hope. It’s so easy to go from lightly tapping to whacking. Anyway, there’s a jagged scar at the top of the egg and water has been applied. As I was setting up the eggling I was thinking about how I should get a chia pet.

    Pretty cool. I may have to try it and see what I get. I’ve never heard of this site.

    What did the other person get?

    I don’t know what she got yet. She’s been working from home and when I brought in my box she hadn’t gotten hers yet. I’ll make sure I post that piece.
