the unthinkable just happened: i ran out of return address labels.
i don't really know what happened. i had TONS of 'freebies' that had piled up from the ASPCA and other charities... i never thought this day would come.
quite frankly, i'm not sure what to do. it's been eons since i've had to actually write my own return address on an envelope. i've been spoiled by the labels that magically appear in my mailbox, unsolicited (and yet containing solicitations), year after year. i had just assumed i would have a never-ending supply of colorful address stickers, with puppies and crayon drawings of kids and stuff.
maybe it's because i've never forked over any money in exchange for the labels... perhaps these charities finally lost their patience with me and have cut me off.
this is so harsh.

Posted by: pinky at September 28, 2005 12:32 PMI never seem to run out of the xmas ones--I use them all year round. I am nowhere near running out of free address labels, and the thought of running out--or having to BUY them--is frankly frightening! Fear not, Christa, I'm sure with the holidays coming up some kind charity/ies will restock your supply soon.
Posted by: minty at September 28, 2005 12:52 PMI never run out.......but it could be because Scott actually gave one of them MONEY this year!
CRAZY STUFF!
But I figure, hey, I should kick them a little something back for the printing costs.
I AM using their labels.
the weird thing is, I do give money to charity and I never get those labels. I don't think I've ever had labels like that.
Maybe this year I'll get labels because of the Katrina-related charities I gave to.
