A Day in My Life

Holiday Decorations
We've been enjoying the lights and all of the new decorations. There are some spectacularly decorated houses in our area and I always enjoy checking them out. The Griswold's (that's us) have decided not to decorate this year. We need a break. It's a lot of work and we have been too busy.

Also our neighbor, who's normally quite cooperative (we must access her terrace), is also too busy to allow access. Hey, it's a hectic time of year and it's not surprising. We're all hauling ass and spinning wheels, feeling like we've accomplished Nothing. We'll be back next year!

My friend has created a very tranquil space in her shop. Hadn't visited her shop in about two months and just fell in love with this space.

Costco Photo Prints

I've been a Costco member for over ten years, but I visit less and less. So last month I went in a hurry to have photos printed at the one hour processing. I waited in line to access one of four photo kiosks. Then waited in line to submit and pay for my order. And then mulled around for an hour while they were processed.

To my amazement, a nice lady inquired why I hadn't uploaded my photos to Costco Online and then simply come by at the designated time? What, Costco's doing a SnapFish-like thing? So last night I spent thirty or so minutes manipulating my images, uploading them to Costco Online and selecting my options. The photos were ready by 11 a.m. today.

Oh, did I mention that I was doing this at 9 p.m., way beyond Costco's in store operating hours? It was fast, convenient and I learned something else....Costco even does wallet sized prints! I ordered four different poses and I like the quality of the prints and the fact that I receive four wallets per each order. The prices are great too...17 cents per print!
