Weekend Update

OKAY!

So here's what happened. Way back in early September I placed the order that I was supposed to be filling now (or, actually, last week). A few weeks later, I went to Charlotte and my contact said that it would be okay to place another order at that time, to come in mid-late November. In MY mind, the first order would come in first and the second order would come in second, all orders would be filled how they came in and we would all jump for joy. I THEIR mind, since they aren't familiar with the pre-order system I set up, an order is an order and as long as they get here eventually, we're fine. So they shmooshed both orders together and shipped half, they just split it differently than I did, so the sequence is all wonky. I just got off the phone with my contact and he said there should be another shipment leaving Lima on the 15th. I will get another box then. I am crossing my fingers and hoping it will contain the remainder of everything I ordered with BOTH pre-orders, but I can't know for sure. He is going to try to call today and send me a list of what he thinks will be included. I'll keep updating here when I get news. I know it is a leeeeeetle bit easier to wait when you are at least in the loop.
