Sometime a few months ago I bought a Groupon for a family roller skating deal. I suck at roller skating. The hubster, who actually is quite good, can no longer roller skate – due to missing pieces from his knee. The kids have no hope if I am their teacher. But hey, it was discounted pricing and the kids should try it, right?
Well, I bought the Groupon and it has sat here at my desk ever since. A couple of weeks ago Groupon sent me a message that my roller skating deal had expired. But, I could cash back in the Groupon and have a credit for other Groupon items. Well, ok, twist my arm to go shopping on a site credit . . 🙂
I looked and looked. I clicked on their Clearance section. I found some hair ties . . always in demand in this house! I kept looking. One thing caught my eye. But I kept looking in case there was anything more practical that I should get. There wasn’t.
So I ordered my non-practical item and didn’t tell anyone. It came last week!! I showed the kids and had my boy follow the instructions. And now, we are the proud owners of a sprouting Emoji Chia Pet! 🙂 It makes you smile just to look at it, doesn’t it? 🙂 Well, it does me!
Tonight I am thankful for my silly Emoji Chia Pet! One of my entrepreneurial children is already planning on harvesting the sprouting seeds and selling them. I told the child to slow down! Let’s just enjoy the awesomeness of the Emoji guy and his chia hair for now!
