Genius!
This photo, which has been making the rounds here on Tumblr, and on Pinterest and Facebook, shows us a simple plastic jug repurposing idea: Cut off the handle part of a discarded plastic container, and use it as a scoop/shovel/dustpan. (Genius, indeed!) Chances are, you’ve seen it already.
What you probably haven’t seen, though, are other jug uses from the person who initially circulated this photo [actually, these photos (plural)].
I (Molly) dug around online and found this source, a Naver blog, for the above photos. On that Naver blog, I also spotted this post highlighting this shoe storage idea: Maximize shelf space by “stacking” shoes in … plastic jugs! Also genius!
For a more whimsical use of plastic jugs, making toy trucks from them (as featured in this earlier Unconsumption post) still gets high marks from me.
Tell us if you’ve come across other plastic container-related reuse ideas that you think we should know about.
I am going to organize the shit out of my sohoes.…after a few more weeks of milk-drinkin’.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6vh30NK3l1qiqkmao1_500.jpg)

I secretly like this song.

Things I Want To Eat Right Now
- BK fried fish sandwich
- Steak & Shake
- Pecan pie
- those peanut m&ms with the shortbreak and pretzel pieces
- Pancakes and/or waffles
I think I found my passion.
Y’know, besides periodically creating and neglecting blogs, and starting posts with “I” (so self centered).
I believe I will pursue a career in venue booking/show planning/promotion! I already have a thing for making friends with bands, and I go to shows all the damn time anyway, and somebody has to put them together…why the hell not me?
Bonus, the schedule is way better than 9-5 crap I do now, and the job is not so soul-sucking. And I could continue writing reviews and taking show photos! Winning all around!
Speaking of, looks like I have a long night of texting ahead of me.
Breaking the fast
First meal of the day — half-assed chicken salad:
- Leftover roast chicken
- celery
- Chobani 0-fat greek yogurt
- mustard
- salt
- pepper
- cracker chips
I have the weirdest pancake craving right now.
I don’t even really LIKE pancakes.
What’s more, I googled it, and apparently this is a thing.
10 weeks ‘til I move.
6 weeks ‘til I visit, for apartment shopping and making good on a long-overdue booty call.
So I have 6 weeks to kick this whole ‘fitness’ thing into high gear. I’m in pretty damn decent shape already, but my midsection is a point of personal contention.
Things I intend to do for the next 6 weeks to help with this:
- Sunflower seeds! In-shell, ~60 calories worth of sunflower seeds takes me all damn day to eat, and tricks my brain into thinking I’m stuffed ‘cause, well, eating all day! Perfect mindless snacking food.
- Salads: lotsandlotsandlots of salads. Salads every day. I didn’t used to like salads but it’s like a switch in my brain flipped and now I’m obsessed. Spinach salads with bell peppers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, cheese, a wee bit o’ dressing (on the side, so I can dip a fork in and stab things), raisins, almonds, chicken, eggs or some combination thereof. Also, chicken salads made with canned chicken, greek yogurt and celery
- Drink. More. Water. Damnit.
- Walk. More. Damnit. I looked at the stats from my Fitbit…I’ve been doing an appalling job of walking enough each day. There were some horrifyingly low numbers — no more!
- Start running
- Ab exercises & stretching. Not a bazillion crunches (Brittney Spears Syndrome? Nothanks), and obviously I know ab exercises do not give you a 6 pack or burn fat, but just for the sake of tightening up (in the middle…I guess stretches are for quite the opposite).
- Bike. More. Damnit.
- Gymming. 3xweek. No more excuses.
I think it’ll be easier to stick to because I have a specific goal — must look good in 6 weeks for boy, and in 10 weeks for city.
