California sends out these awesome voter's guides to registered voters - the full text of all propositions and measures with a summary, pros/cons, etc, as well as candidate information and statements. It's great information and super helpful, usually. But I got mine yesterday, and it is 223 pages. TWO HUNDRED TWENTY THREE. How many registered voters do you think are going to read all that? Let alone the number of trees our "green" state killed to send one to every damn voter in the state (meaning most households will get at least two of the same thing.) I have no idea why they can't make an opt-out for a website with the information instead. Welcome to 1990, yo.
I just made my knitting gifts list and OMG, I need to get busy. I have like ... two projects started, both of which need to be finished by early November, then another 4 projects by Christmas, two in January, and one in February. Ack.
I got rear-ended last month and now there's like ... a hundred forms I have to fill out for the state, even though a) it wasn't my fault and b) the dude paid for my repairs personally.
Oh, and H&G-related ... anyone have a good source for random-width paint-grade pine flooring? R wants to buy locally, but I'm not sure where to even start with this one. Halp?
Wow. And to think, I got annoyed at Restoration Hardware for their massive catalog and what a waste it was. But I also still get phone books periodically (seriously, does anyone still use phone books? LOL)
My H&G items are all on hold until we get our house under control. Our furnace/hot water heater spewed hot water all over the basement when we started up our heat (old radiators, so lots of hot water required) on Monday. Our well pump is clicking. We had 7 dead trees (50 ft. or so each) cut down in the back yard and DH is frantically splitting the wood while DS1 and I build the woodpile. And I have two young boys trying to actively tear apart the interior of my house. Luckily I love them
