So Frustrating!!!
Although Kevin's company is international and has a lot of experience in relocating people around the world, it is shockingly BAD at the whole relocation thing! The reason that our container of furniture is not at our house yet is because it is still sitting in port right now because the proper paperwork to go through Customs wasn't done and because no one bothered to pass our contact information on to the shipping company. Kevin managed to talk to someone at the shipping company today and is now on his way to Kinko's to copy and fax our passports to them so that the container can proceed through Customs. It doesn't look like our stuff will arrive at our house until after Kevin has left for Norway on January 2nd, so I guess I'll be making all the tough decisions about where everything goes on my own. I am just so grumpy about all of this--I have very little tolerance for incompetence in general, and I also really miss sitting on comfy sofas, eating off of real plates at a real table and having more than 5 days worth of clothes!

Oh, Emily, I'm so sorry! About the container idiocy, about your stuff being weeks away from delivery, and about all of the problems you guys are having with your house. Dang, that's a lot of negative BS to deal with any time, let alone during the holidays. I can't believe Honey turned into Steve McQueen from "The Great Escape"---maybe you should build her a cooler. :-) (I love that movie...) Anyway, girlfriend, I hope it stops raining and that you get some good news soon about your stuff. We're thinking of you!
Michele, I'm sure it will all turn out fine and eventually it will even seem funny. It's not so funny just yet, but I'm sure once I again have a comfy place to sit, I'll laugh about it all! Emily
