so this morning i finally got my shipping notice from DOD! Annie is on her way home after a 12 week wait to the day. does anyone know how to use a korean tracking number on the usps site? xD i only have this: em 909 168 705kr to go on. and i can't get it to work, but i know there's a trick to use, since i used it years ago when we ordered the others.. i just can't remember the trick. xD

i'm just so happy she's finally coming home! there's no chance of her being here for CHristmas (unless the Post Elves work a 2-day miracle) but she should be here for New Year's, i think, and i can be happy with that. hopefully my clothes order for later this month will arrive with considerably more expediency. xD i'm expecting a slight delay for production of the limited Elf Sha heads, but otherwise i figure it should fall somewhere around the 1 month point.

i think i've figured out a semi-definitive wishlist purchase order plan. the timelines are a bit looser than i'd hoped, but that pesky reality thing keeps rearing it's head and delaying my saving. X.x my plan is now DOB Arie (shepherdess/sheep combo for mom) by the end of February, DOB Libra (ChibiNeko) +extra body(little Arisma for my boss) by the end of April, DOT Shall (Xavin!!) ordered with my tax refund as soon as it hits, and MiniFee Lishe (Irish Noelle) and Miyu (Klara Prast) -probably through Denverdoll- as soon as i can afford to do the layaway payments. i may buy them outright, but i think i'd rather do layaway so i can space it out a little. kyu wants to have his Narshe (Chloe) ordered by March 15th, so he's working out a saving plan for that.

but yeah, i'm pretty much over the moon that Anastasia is finally coming home to me! yay and a half! xD i'm gonna have to get fresh batteries for my camera so i can take a bunch of arrival photos! sometime in the new year i'll have to get together with my friend who ordered a matching Normal Skin Kalix (named Richter) so we can take 'aren't they cute together?' pics and fix their faceups and manicures. xD ..there's speculation that to get the orders out DOD skimped on the sealing they usually do. it's okay though, because it'll make it easier to do the small alterations we both wanted anyway. xD
