So not to hijack Lizard Queen's topic about needing a new keyboard due to a coffee fiasco and having the IT guy at that very moment come in with a cartful of keyboards, I was wondering....
Do you have any strange coincidences that have happened recently that you would like to share?
Mine: Just this weekend, hubby and I were discussing some things we need to get for the apartment. He has a honking big Vitamix blender that I love, but if I just want to make a small protein shake for breakfast or whatnot its too big, so he told me that we were going to go look and see if we could find a Magic Bullet or Ninja Blender on sale. He said he also wanted to get a few things from Walmart - specifically a new pair of gloves for work (he works night-time security and is often outside in the cold,) a candle-lighter, (the kind with a bendable tip to get into a deep candle,) and a new bit set for his drill as he can't find his old set. He also wanted to pick up a rubbermaid tote to keep our winter boots and stuff in.
Monday, as we parked at Walmart, we notice a lady struggling to put a huge box in the trunk of her car. Hubby and I quickly went over and offered to help her, and in no time had it loaded. In order to get the box to fit, she had pulled out a rubbermaid tote that was full of stuff and it wouldn't fit back in the trunk and there was no space in the back seat as she had 2 kids with carseats there. She said it was stuff she was going to drop off at the Goodwill drop off box across the street, and asked us if we would mind doing that for her? We said no problem, and just before she left she said "Oh by the way - please look through it - if there's anything you can use, feel free to take it before dropping it off!"
So we figure if nothing else, we'll drop off what's inside the tote and at least we have a free tote!
Until we opened it up.
contents:
- Magic Bullet blender with extra seals, blade, blending cup and 4 handled cups with colored caps
- Brand new pair of ski gloves
- Ryobi bit set
- Bendable candle lighter
- Assorted coffee mugs
- Metal 3-tray stand for candies
- Plastic console tray for car
We looked at each other with absolute disbelief!!! We dropped off the coffee mubs, candy tray and console, but kept the rest. The Magic Bullet is brand new and it works beautifully!!! Hubby used the gloves last night and he said they are fantastic.
I guess that was karma in action
