It’s been more than a week now since my last post — not to draw attention to that fact or anything. In case you’re at all curious about why I’ve been slacking so badly and why May didn’t promote information about recycling nearly as much as I’d hoped, it’s just because it was bad timing and I guess I’m still getting into the groove of this. Rest assured I have continued with my recycling and keep doing it more though. Anyway, life caught up with me in the form of a vacation and move to a new apartment (which I love. Adding to its already awesomeness: free recycling!). I promise to keep improving at this though and it’s important to me that you know I am so grateful to every one of you who care what I’m doing or have to say and check in to see what I’m doing here!
That said, the main thing that’s been going on for the past oh, five days or so, has been packing, unpacking, moving and sometimes packing more — and lots of adjusting to living on the second floor. And what I’m going to tell you today is that I’ve learned that it’s OK to be a pack rat — sometimes. Well, I fight against being one, but am not generally all that successful and this time, it paid off. And not just for me.
For starters, I kinda sorta tend to hoard cardboard boxes of various sizes as I get them. Mainly, they’re smallish ones that I envision being money savers when birthdays, holidays and other events come up and I need something to pack gifts in. And yes, I’ve decided the annoyance of having them hang around is totally worth if for that purpose.
Beyond that though, as my move was approaching, I kept the packaging and boxes that my Arbonne products come with, and any other boxes I got. Those were a huge help, as I wasn’t too interested in breaking my back with ginormous boxes anyway.
I feel like the people I know are moving all the time, especially those close to my age. Where does everyone get their moving boxes from? Do you buy them? Get them from moving companies? How about stopping in a grocery store and seeing what the people there will give you? I have to assume the latter is a fairly common idea. I worked at Meijer for four-and-a-half years and people frequently came in to load up on cardboard boxes. If you haven’t considered this before, it’s definitely worth doing next time. Not only are they free, but you’re also giving the cardboard another life before it hits the compactor.
And how’s this for continuing the life of a cardboard box? I was getting a bit panicked about not having enough boxes for even packing up my little one bedroom apartment. A friend flew to my rescue, letting me know she had a bunch of boxes still from when she’d moved to her new house several months ago.
Again, this is where it’s good to stash stuff you really have no reason to keep anymore. Turns out, her husband had insisted they keep the boxes for all those months in case they moved again. I suppose they’d moved more times than he liked during the past few years and just wanted to be prepared. But they got the boxes out of the basement for me. I’m not sure where they’d gotten them, but based on words covering them, many appeared to come from a grocery store.
So they were a tremendous help to me, in addition to the boxes I felt I needed to hold on to over the past year. Combining all those boxes with some reusable shopping bags (I had never expected them to come in for moving too!), all of my belongings made it safely to the new apt. (Had I thought this through, I’d have visual documentation of these events for you to feast your eyes on here.)
And the trail continues.
Literally as I was unpacking on Friday, I found out another friend was going to suddenly be moving to L.A. Could this have been better time for my boxes?! I let her know I would have several for her and was excited they’d be third generation moving boxes and now even making their way cross country. I’m certain they have at least one good move left in them.
It gives me some kind of silly joy to think how much those boxes have been used. Not only are several of them third generation moving boxes, but at least fourth generation for general use.
So if you’ve got any space at all, save the smaller boxes that you can for gifts. And when you get those bigger ones, get on Facebook or Twitter and see if anyone else can use them. It’s worth a shot. You never know who has some stacked in their basement just waiting for you to put them to work.
A Better Way to Be 
I had a chuckle at your comment about small boxes…saving them to mail packages, willing for the mess of storing. Me too. If I think I will be mailing anything, I keep some boxes.
Loved the three generation boxes!
At one point, I knew I’d be moving every year or so (I had a sabbatical replacement job that was only one year). Moved there, back, then another time in town. All that time I collapsed the boxes and stored them under my bed. I must admit, though, that by the last move they were losing their oomph, and I didn’t trust anything heavy in them.
Keep it up!

Около 2-х месяцев назад думала получить ипотеку в Екатеринбурге, но нигде не могла получить, потому что раньше были проблемы по другому ссуде (пару раз просрочила, но потом загасила даже раньше конца срока).
Отказы либо не объясняли, либо говорили, что плохая кредитная история и ничего не поделаешь.
В тот момент я о кредитной помощи даже не слышала.
Вот недавно коллега на работе сказал, что есть такие организации, которые помогают получить кредит.
К примеру вот эти (вроде говорят нормальные) – что скажете? Посмотрите ссылку: потреб Екб

I’m happy that I`ve already sold several copies of my books in different countries like England and others too numerous to mention.
I also work in a company that provides assistance to many people from different parts of the world. Clients always come to me because I work no matter how hard their projects are. I help them to save energy, because I feel happy when people come to me for professional help.
Ghost Writer – Angelina – How to Teach Students to Write an Essay Band
Hello, it’s Jeanne Denton here!
I work as an academic writer and have created this content with the intent of changing your life for the better. I started honing my writing abilities in my school years. I learned that my fellow students needed writing help—and they were willing to pay for it. The money was enough to help pay my tuition for my remaining semesters of college.
Ever since college, I have continued to work as a professional writer. I was hired by a writing service based in the United Kingdom. Since then, the essays that I have created have been sold around Europe and the United States.
In my line of work, I have become accustomed to hearing, “Jeanne Denton, can you help me meet my writing assignment deadline?” I know that I can save their time.

Hi everyone , I’m Mohammod.
Welcome to my about page. I started writing in my early school years after a creative writing assignment for my English teacher. I did creative writing for several months before I thought about doing something else.
I had always loved doing research assignments because I’m passionate about learning. When you combine writing ability with a love of learning, academic writing only makes sense as a job.
I’m passionate about helping the students of the future in their school career. When they don’t have time for their paper , I am there to help.
