The Wait

I don't know about you, but I am fanatical about printing off my photos promptly.  I do Becky Higgins Project 365 each year and, if I'm going to manage to keep up with my daily journaling (not my strong suit!), I need photos to jog my memory!  So, I typically get photo orders every week or so.  I use Costco as I like their quality, price and speed with orders.

And, that is why the Costco sales annoy me!  Don't get me wrong - I've always loved a good sale.  But, typically, my photo orders are for 20 or so 4x6 photos and maybe a 5x7 or two.  They are ready quickly - usually a few hours, not the typical overnight processing time.  But, every time Costco has a big sale, people upload thousands of prints to order and my little orders wait and wait and wait and wait to be processed!

This time it's particularly painful, because I have this awesome plan for a layout that I am so excited to make.  And the photos for that layout are in the order that I sent on Sunday which is still not done!  I'll even be in the city to pick them up tomorrow, but they may still not be ready {insert sigh of dejection}. 

And, so I wait.  Maybe I'll start the layout sans photos.  If I can get over my hurt feelings ;)
