Boxes full of boxes

Moving sucks.

Especially when you have lots of stuff.
I have lots of stuff.
Lots.
It’s my fault that I can’t even fit myself into my new apartment. The first box I opened contained other boxes. Empty ones. Yes, the box my blender came in is pretty and all, but why did I think I would need it one day? And these four inoperable cell phones– what are they doing here alongside two full boxes of scraps from old suits? I must finally admit to myself that, no matter how much spare time I have, I will never create a full line of funky dresses made from old men’s suits (suits that are old, not suits of old men, although they could be from old men since I got them at thrift stores and one never really knows the origin of items found there, which I guess is sort of a blessing because what if they come from some gross house littered with cats and old half-chewed browned apples?)
I admit it. I am a saver of unnecessary things. And I paid $150/month for the past year to make sure these things were safe.
Oh well. At least it’s a reminder of how much I’ve learned to let go in the past year. Bye bye things. Bye bye school projects and expired beauty masks and broken appliances that I will never ever get fixed. Go party with my pager and Michael Jordan fruit snacks in the land of the landfill.
Here’s to turning lots into little in 2010. I might toast to it if I could only find some glasses.

Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask. Does building a well-established blog such as yours take a lot of work? I am completely new to operating a blog however I do write in my diary every day. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
