After reading Dana's somewhat passive-agressive plea for updates from everyone, I thought I'd update as well!

Little by little things are getting done. Our side-yard wall is now done. The pool water line tile is in. Really the only major things left are the fireplace and BBQ island, which may start today (ok, so they said they would start yesterday and didn't. Why oh why do I even believe them for a second??? Desperation perhaps.) Sorry I don't have any pics to post - I've been getting home after dark and haven't been able to take any.

Last night I got home particularly late because I made the mistake of waiting until after work to go vote. HUGE mistake. I had to wait about 1.5 hours. Not sure it was worth it but at least I did my civic duty. They really have to do something to update the voting process. After waiting in a huge line, it was easy to understand the delay. Only one person checking you in by S L O W L Y finding your name in this huge list. Then they scrutizine your ID more carefully than a liquor store afraid to sell to minors (ok, so that hasn't happened to me in a while). Finally, after she crosses your name off her list with her ruler (again S L O W L Y, after all the world might end if the line was not 100% perfectly straight), you get your ridiculously large ballot (large only because every Tom, Dick and Porn Star is on it). After waiting all that time it takes you about 7 seconds to vote. Then you wait in line again to turn in your ballot. All I can say is ABSENTEE BALLOT. I need to get registered at my new address so I don't have to do this again.

And after all that, we have an Austrian action film star as governor. I knew this was going to be a bad week . . .
