...that when I'm in a hurry, nothing goes right?
I decided yesterday to enter some shots into the local county fair. Went to the website and found out they are due today! I worked up 8 entries based on the available catagories and got two of them ready since I had everything at hand for them and already had the prints.
Planned this morning to go out, get the additional prints made, and mat and prepare them for display and then drop them at the fair office on the way to work.
I went to 3 local places and ALL of them had their "prints in minutes" type machines down. None of them worked. So I've run out of time. I have to purchase a pass in order to enter and exhibit, and two entries really isn't worth it to me. So...no entries :( |

Yay..I ended up making it in time. My work day didn't last as long as I thought it would and the fair office was open until 5:00. Made it just under the wire with my entries!

You ponder because no one really mends their clothes anymore. A stitch right away saves 9 later when the hole in your pants gets even bigger. |

Or put more generally, doing what needs done when it needs it keeps from having much more to do later when it can't be put off any longer.
