I don't know who put that little inflatable beach ball in the Box of Offal #2, but THANK YOU!. We strung it up on fishing line and hung it in the center of our office. It's great for mild entertainment, stress relief & occasionally hitting someone in the head. Someone even named it our 'sanity catcher' :)
Box #1
I have actually not yet decided everything that I am taking, because both of my bosses wanted in on this, so I am taking it to work tomorrow. I will try to post, maybe even with pictures, what I am keeping tomorrow. So far, I am keeping the flashlight(I need one for my vehicle), the cookbook(looked interesting), the fish plaque thing(yeah), that usb drive(other boss took that), the multisdcard reader, that cool candle thing(I just really liked the colors), Hardball(brings a tear to my eye every time), 1941(I just could not pass this up), and the lye soap(I have a close friend who has skin problems).
