Long time, no blog

I'm back.... hooray!!!!! :) My computer died on me about 6 weeks ago. It took a really really really long time to get repaired/replaced but it finally did and now here I am. :)

Lots has happened in the last 6 weeks. My house sold so everything had to be packed up. I had packers come in and do the bulk of it... I would SOOOOO recommend that :) They packed up my entire house in just a couple of hours - it was awesome. Then the movers came to store my stuff for two weeks before I got possession of my new house.

Then I went to Sturbridge, Mass to attend the US Cocker National Specialty show with my girl "Mercedes". I still can't believe it but she won Winners Bitch for a huge 5 point major from the Bred By Exhibitor class :) As one person put it... I had been struck by lightning... it's a once in a lifetime win! What a thrill!

Then I came back to Lethbridge to move into my new house and that's where the chaos started! The delivery of my new bedroom & living room furniture was delayed but arrived within 36 hours of when it was expected. This has been the most successful scheduled delivery to date! My office furniture was supposed to arrive on Friday but was a no show - no phone call or explanation at all. They showed up on Monday when I wasn't home but luckily my brother was there and able to receive it (thanks Ben).

Then all my worldly possessions were supposed to arrive from the moving company on Saturday but the moving truck broke down on the way so it was a no show. I have called the company multiple times to try and arrange delivery of my stuff but it is still up in the air (5 days after it should have arrived). Unfortunately, phone calls have gone unreturned and promised calls from their end haven't been made. I've had to call them multiple times and every time I talk to someone I get the run around with promised answers that never materialize. So I am NOT impressed with Jay's Moving and Storage in Calgary. They say they are working on it but in the meantime I am losing on call pay, I'm paying mortgage on a house I'm not living in, I'm paying Valerie rent and causing her stress with just being in her house..... it's all crazy.

Hopefully things settle down soon. It'll be better for everyone if I can just get in my new house.
