Still Waiting: Hope for When God Doesn�e(tm)t Give You What You Want | Ann Swindell

1. I can't even remember. It might have been Marine World Africa USA/ Six Flags though because it's in the next town over.
2. I don't even have to think about bringing one because I have Litsy and Hoopla on my phone. Nice for extremely long lines or waiting while others are on the wilder sick-inducing rides.

Impatiently waiting for my final planned read of October 😔 Got a feeling it is going to be next month as it still says on order at the library along with the latest Virgil Flowers book, which I didn't really expect to get until November so I'm okay with that!

#TrickyCat and I are still waiting for the inspector... 6 hours and counting 🤦🏻‍♀️ #CatsofLitsy

rubyslippersreads Doesn‘t the inspector realize that cats are not to be kept waiting? 😼 6y

Leftcoastzen Waiting is never fun but at least you get to hang out with adorable kitties! 6y

@ameliask8 I am waiting on one more item to arrive in the mail to complete your #makerswap package! I will expedite shipping if I need to so you‘ll get it on time 🙂

These holds are taking too long! I have a feeling I'll be visiting the bookstore soon. #NoPatience #NoShame

hwestfall This happens to me all the time at our library. I often break down and just purchase some of them. 7y

LoveToReadLiveToRead Crikey, number 30 for Beartown! I‘m impatient too and have just gone and bought them sometimes! #bookproblems 7y

Starbucks again, this time waiting for the next plane which is late. To my complete irritation, I left Sir Ranulph at home so I‘ve been reduced to trying to set up the Kindle app on my phone... ah well, free WiFi at least! So annoyed, so close to finishing Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know But many thanks to @Tiffy_Reads for the #yabuddyread questions, I‘m making my way through them! 😊😊😊

Cinfhen Safe travels 7y

GlassAsDiamonds @Cinfhen thanks! It was actually people coming in but their China flight was delayed then they missed their connection, then Delhi airport told them it would be close to US$500- to get to Mumbai (it‘s not!) so we had to scramble for flights and hotel bookings because this morning was the start of the Magnetic Maharashtra business week the PM is hosting so no flights till tonight AND that one was massively delayed...argh!!!! (But all good now!)😊 7y

Cinfhen Air travel can be so frustrating....I‘m glad your guests have arrived...enjoy😁 7y

GlassAsDiamonds @Cinfhen only just coming up for air! Not bad but oh I need quiet reading and more sleep!! 😊😊😊 (next ones due in two days... remind me to stop telling people that Jan/ February is the idea time to visit India!!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️). 7y

Cinfhen Hosting guests is exhausting!! I feel your pain...it‘s so wonderful to have guests but there‘s something to be said when you have a quiet house again😊 7y

✨I wouldn't trade online shopping for anything (I don't have a car so...it helps), but this has been me patiently, mind you, waiting for the few final things for #MBVS and a few more things for the #AbbsGiveawayWinner, @bookworm.krizia (I'll let you know when it's on it's way!), and of course my book haul. Just another day in wonderland.. 🙄😆📚

mjdowens Plus the stalking to see where it is during transit😂😂 7y

Stephaniereads1 Yes I check that tracker Every hour like it will change. 7y

abbsinwonderland @mjdowens @Stephaniereads1 hahaha yes! Constantly 7y

Does this even really need to be said? It‘s so busy and backed up this time of year. 😩 Sorry ‘bout it.

MrBook *big hug* This isn't your fault, Litten. It's happening on an epic scale this season and affecting many people. Hang in there. 7y

MrBook Your receiver has been informed. 👍🏻 (edited) 7y

winemom I don‘t want my lovely people thinking they aren‘t worthy of all the presents, because they so are. One of my parcels was taken to the office, where it sat for a week, then got kicked back to UPS for a couple of days, then over to the office again, and finally brought to my door. “Why didn‘t you claim your package?” WHY DIDN‘T YOU TELL ME I HAD ONE? 🙃 The entire postal service is out for my blood. 7y

winemom THANK YOU. ❤️ I was thinking I had to blow my cover. 7y

After #twelve and I‘m still waiting at the Women‘s and Children‘s Hospital with this little boy. I think the fact they‘re not rushing is a good sign. 😷😴 #12 #novemberbythenumbers

I do❤️you Book of the Month & yes, it's the Post Office & 'shipping partners' in charge of delivery times, but I'm not a fan of your shipping grades.☹️In transit from Riverside CA since the 13th? I envision my #BOTM box making its way across the ocean in a variety of ways⬆️but I bet they'd all be faster than this. Yes, I'm behind in my reading & don't *need* them, but it's the principle & I was hoping for The Grown Up for #24in48. #iwantthebooks

callunakeep That is so aggravating!! 😤 8y

TheLibrarian That stinks 😡 8y

Suzze Trying to imagine. They put it in a waterproof bag on an inner tube? On a rubber band boat? That is frustrating! Love the surfboard. I didn't think of that! (edited) 8y

Zelma Is it being transported by owl? Or maybe carrier pigeon. 8y

DebinHawaii @callunakeep @TheLibrarian @Suzze It's frustrating because in a different shipping grade it can get here in a week or less. But I am partially ranting in jest at my impatience because I was whining about it to my sister this morning & she asked if I was finished with my many book stacks she saw on her last visit & really *needed* them to read now. I know I'm being a bit of a baby! 😆 8y

DebinHawaii @Suzze @Zelma Other good ways to ship that would likely be faster! 😂 8y

Suzze @DebinHawaii I'm always like that! Impatient for my books to come. I have belonged to BOTM for months and am just starting the first of them. 😁😁 8y

BeckyD That would be frustrating. I hope they arrive soon. 8y

BethFishReads ☹️☹️☹️☹️ 8y

Graciouswarriorprincess Aww. I have the same problem since I moved to NC. Slow mail service but nothing like yours. 😒 8y

DogMomIrene Argh! This wait must be frustrating, but I think your emojis show your effective ability to handle aggravations. Badly done mail service. Well done you! 8y

Lucylovesreading I don't look forward to having this problem when I move back to my hometown! They recently took out the big postal processing center in my town so now everything has to be sent 3 hours away even if it's just going down the street! 8y

Bookchipmunk I have the same problem in California. Both times the package has sat in Las Vegas for over a week! BTW Richmond CA is an hour from my house so the whole shipping thing doesn't make sense. (edited) 8y

MrBook I'm sorry...😂👏🏻. This is too much 😂. I feel horrible for you but...😂...oh goodness. This is like my silly grammar posts 😂👏🏻. 8y

DebinHawaii @callunakeep @TheLibrarian @Suzze @Zelma @Bd200889 @BethFishReads @Graciouswarriorprincess @ocdIrene @Lucylovesreading @Bookchipmunk @MrBook Thank you all for understanding the frustration but also the humor behind *wanting the books!* 😆 Had to let you know that my whining apparently paid off with the book and/or mail Gods because I woke up this morning to a bunch of tracking notices saying they arrived, were processed & out for delivery! 🎉📚👍 8y

Suzze @DebinHawaii Yippee! 8y

callunakeep @DebinHawaii woohoo!!! 🎉👏🏻 8y

Graciouswarriorprincess Hurray!! 8y

DogMomIrene @DebinHawaii 🎉Wahoo! 🎉 8y
