Image below: the receipt/lotto ticket box.
Every receipt and losing lotto ticket/scratcher I've been able to save since 2000. It should hold another 4-6 years of receipts.
I don't play the lotto but once every handful of months anymore. I won't run out of room for those.
Image below: the greeting card/invitation box.
Every birthday card, christmas card, holiday card, letter, basically anything anyone has ever physically gave or mailed to me.
The items horizontally at the top are the all wedding invitations I've received. This is also everything I've saved since the year 2000.
Communication in my life is almost entirely digital, but I cherish the physical cards and letters that I do receive.

30,000 miles in 847 days. I haven't attended indoor soccer in 15 months, which has helped save some wear and kept the mileage down.
Image below: items that make up my daily lunches.
Every lunch consists of a salad, tuna, crackers, protein drink, and pear cup. I bought extra salads this time to have for dinners as well.
Image below: lunch salads.
I used to take a family size bag of salad (or two regular bags) and split it into two lunches.
I figured I could cut down on calories by splitting that into three lunches, and it's worked out perfectly for me.
I put the dressing that comes with it into a little container, which I put in with the salad and refrigerate it.
The crispy strips and sunflower seeds I split into the other small containers and keep at room temp.
Image below: tubs of tuna fish.
I used to make a batch of tuna "salad" out of two cans of tuna, and that would be for just one lunch.
Now I take 4 cans of tuna, make two batches, and split that into three lunches, again which works out nicely for me.
Ingredients are: tuna, sweet relish, miracle whip light, a chopped up slice of onion, garlic pepper, and no salt.
Each lunch is accompanied by a bag of 30 oyster crackers. Gotta have some crunch with the tuna.

Image below: delicious sliders. (10/22/16)
Green Dot Stables is a small restaurant in downtown Detroit. I've gone there a couple times with my mom after Michigan football games.
They have a list of about 20 different sliders to choose from. In this picture are five sliders plus an order of poutine fries at the top.
Every single one of these are delicious, but my favorite is the fried chicken slider (middle row on the right).
They use panko breadcrumbs and maple syrup. I could eat 100 of those in one sitting.
Image below: the car fox. (7/27/16)
This used car dealer is down the street from where I work. One day (and one day only) they had an inflatable car fox outside.
I really wonder if someone came by and stole it, or if they only used it for that one day and have it stored away somewhere.
I would totally put that up in my yard, if I had a yard.
Image below: fire cloud. (6/21/16)
I was driving home from work, and this cloud formation presented itself in front of me.
However, I couldn't find a good spot anywhere to pull off the road and snap a photo.
I thought it looked even more spectacular three or four minutes before I took this photo.
Still, it's a pretty amazing picture.

I hate the Metro enough as it is. This is just twisting the knife a little bit deeper. C'mon, man.

Image below: sadness. (5/29/15)
This is the last recorded photograph of the Saturn. I fucking miss this car. It's my favorite car on this planet.
I never should have gave it up. I should have paid the two grand to fix it. Money doesn't mean anything to me anymore.
If I could find it sitting in a junkyard somewhere, I'd buy it back in an instant.
