I have been hoping as always that things would go smoothly aned we woudl have awonderful Christmas, but seems this is not how it is going fo rus, or not yet at least.
Starts out I have a chest and sinus infection, so have to take antibiotics, and stay in bed, oh and laryngitis as well so dr said to zip the mouth and let that heal up.
Al and Britt both have a cold as well, not to the extent I have andhoping it will not get to that as well.
ANyhow I ordered this gift for Al back in November, we were watching the tracking system for it, and it took 2 days to get from Il to BC, but that is when the problem started, it has gone from BC back to IL then back to BC, to the island, to the mainland, to the island to the mainland again and aain and again and then to KY for some odd reason and backto BC and back to the island. We have called UPS many times and each time they said oh its on its way... and then they said shoud be a day or so, well then we findout thqat the courier goes by our town but wont stop in here so they sent it back to the mainland. Now we call again and they said oh ok then we will send back up and get it in the mail the remainder for you... so that is what eventually happened. It arived in the mail today, so I was so excited but that was short lived, as when I opened it up I found it was broken. GGRRR so I called the company and they are sending a new one out tomorrow. the box had 2 rather nasty holes in it so the couriers were not that gentle this time.
Anyhow that was bad but Al got me for Christmas an antique German bisque figurine, it was from the late 1800's's, it arrived yesterday in the mail, and again when we opened it up it was in several pieces, not repairable.
We went to go and email the seller and started the PC only to find that the fan in our PC packed it in and our computer is down and out!
Then we were talking to our dsil to check if the gift we ordered for him had arrived yet, he said no so we called the courier as it was suppose to be delivered over a week ago, they now promised us for tomorrow, but reason they did not get it to them is they didnt have the directions... so why not ask or google or something, they had the adddress just didnt know where that was. so tomorrow fingers are crossed that they will get it right this time.
Can ya tell I am in a crappy way these days... don't think it helped when I walk into the doctors office and everyone says to me... oh you look and sound like crap, and imagine how I would have looked if I didnt put on makeup and do my hair before going.
Good news is I have a week and a day til Christmas to change that all around and just get better.
Now I feel better had to get that out of my system.
Hugs,

A lot to get out of your system Lor. Would be more than a tad upset with the delivery people. Sorry to hear your figurine arrived broken as it isn't like you can just order another.
May things change for the better before the big day arrives. Hoping you, Al and Brit are feeling better.
I know about that lovely greeting, "You look like crap.". Just makes one feel soooo much better. You have to wonder sometimes.
Hi Lor
I am so glad you went to the Dr and got the antibotics you need. Now behave and get the rest you need to get to feeling better asap.
That mess with the Christmas presents is awful. I sure hope that this time the gift for your Dh will arrive safely. What a shame about the gift your Dh got for you. I sure hope he can get his money back.
Seems when things start going wrong they come in bunches. Now by next week or hey this weekend things will be much better and Christmas will be looking better.
Love
Geez, Lor....not such a merry Christmas there at the Lor & Al place! That's really too bad about the figurine. And you would think in this horrible economy companies would be bending over backwards to give good customer service. Not having directions....yeah, that's just inexcusable.
Hope thing turn back around for your household soon and you have the Christmas you're hoping for.
Hugs,
(((HUGS)))) sorry you are under the weather....and glad you have anitbiotics....That is really awful about the courier system...I would call them and complain up one side and down the other!!!!
Hugs and It WILL get better
Hugs,
Thanks Rain!
Ah well seems it is sometimes the way things go... I am sure things will turn around soon.
Ya doesnt make ya feel very good does it... oh well!
Thanks Mare!
Yup I am counting on things changing... so far both places are working with us, the one gift for me they are reimbursing us the money, the other place put another one
Thanks Red, and you know what no matter at least we have all the kids gifts, and they will all be home so that really is what makes it for us... well that and my Dad being here.
Thanks RJ, I am sure in no time I will be my old self again!

Oh that's CRAZY man
I like seeing what I'm buying.
Boy hope all works out right come Christmas eve.
