ADDICTED BOX COLLECTOR CONFESSES! "I'm a Boxaholic!"

 

Boxaholic, Liv Freeordie used to think outside the box, until she got boxed-in by all the moving.

"I'm obsessed with boxes. I even have entered boxing matches where I compete with others to see who can unpack and repack their boxes again in the shortest amount of time. My goal is to win one of these matches, but I'm still too easily distracted by the shear quantity of boxes.  In fact, I lost my most recent match when I discovered evidence of a small mouse with an inclination for pistachios in my mattress box and box-spring. I literally became paralyzed and couldn't open another box for the rest of the day!"

  Moustachio strikes again!   

After her incident with the mouse, Snee correspondent, The Shadowman, interviewed Ms. Freeordie at her boxed-up home. She admitted that her house was filled to the brim with packed boxes of all types, and sizes, and she was simply overwhelmed by the variety of containers that she had. Some were very worn, while others were in tip-top shape. Her favorite....the dishpack. Her least favorite....the wardrobe. Her heaviest...the bookbox and her most frightening.....the Pandora's box.

Some of her boxes were being used for pens, while others were used to store food. Liv elaborated that there was one box which had been stuffed with feminine hygiene products for nearly four years. "It's really a shame because absorbency technology has changed so much since I boxed these up!" It's my fourth move in five years, and it's a wake-up call. I'm just not exactly sure what the boxes represent anymore."

         
Liv stares at a whatchamacallit and gets existential.

"At Boxaholic's Anonymous, I've learned that I may be buried in boxes, but as long as I don't get shipped home in a box, everything will get sorted out".

At that, Liv sat down in front of the goggle box with a box full of chocolates.

EXCLAIMER: Boxes are good for something! Great for making garden paths to prevent weed growth; Excellent recycling bins; Fabulous opportunity to share your containers with your neighbors; Good for crafts; Fun for children. 

PROCLAIMER: Lauren Salkin is one of my favorite bloggers at her very funny, creative, and intelligently written blog, Think Spin. This idea was spinning in my head when Lauren inquired whether I was boxed-in from the move. Thanks Lauren!
