Sometimes in life, I fail. We all do. It's important to learn from mistakes and move on with life. With this in mind, I have some fails that I have to admit...
These fails all have to do with gadgets. (There are tons more fails I could include but that blog post could go on forever. 😀) In the past year, I have either bought or have been given some bigger ticket items. All of these are either in the box or out of the box but never used. (Please note: that all the pictures are affiliate links to Amazon.)
Instant Pot
This was a Christmas gift. I finally opened the box this week and took it out. That's a start, right? I can't get over how heavy this sucker is. I have also been pinning a lot of recipes on Pinterest. That's practically the same thing as making it. Now that's it's just sitting on the kitchen counter, there is a good possibility that it may be used soon.
Camera
I have been wanting a nice digital camera with all the accessories, so when I saw a great deal in January, I bought it. The problem with this is that I know NOTHING about digital cameras or the accessories. I opened this box and was overwhelmed with all the extras. I pulled out the camera and lens. I tried putting them together but had to put them back in the box when I was too incompetent to put them together. Now this large box of items sits on my treadmill. I have to move it every time I actually want to use the treadmill. Side note: I actually use the treadmill a lot (at least I have a win) so it's a huge pain!
Cricut
This is my biggest fail, because I have had it the longest and never used it. I got this last summer. Since I never do a partial job with anything, I had to buy the whole kit with lots of supplies. The only positive thing I can say is that I took it out of the box, found a place to set it up on my desk, and displayed all the extras nicely in a basket. It looks nice. I'm sure it would work great...if I ever tried it.
If there is any consolation, I have been working on trying to use any/all of these (at least mentally). I am hoping that I soon I can share some Adulting Wins with you!
What are your Adulting Fails?
