The Census Bureau is wasting paper like there is no tomorrow.

First, I get a letter saying the census IS COMING in three days.

Three days later I get the actual census form.

Two days later I get a letter saying I should have received the census, and if I hadn’t filled it out would I please hurry up and do so.

And that brings us to now, three weeks later when  another census form with accompanying letter saying fill the darn thing out already arrives in my mailbox.

I mean the census form is like 30 pages long.

That’s a lot of wasted paper.

So I filled it out today because I do not want any more trees to lose their lives because of my perceived procrastination.  

And you should too.

One of my favorite things about Engineer right now is his writing.  I love seeing him write in his journal and I love seeing what he comes up with on his kindergarten homework.  I think this is my favorite set of sentences so far:

I love that he wrote: "I am over you."  He was supposed to use the word over in a sentence.  It cracks me up.  I am over you as in, I was totally in love with you and your paste eating ways little Cynthia, but then you broke my heart… those days are gone, I am so totally over you.

(I’m sure that’s not what he was thinking, but still….)
