The odessey of the new oven...

Ok, so my post this AM was 'All's quiet', right? Well, it remained quiet at the Center today, except during class when we were all rockin' and working hard!
At home?
Not so much.
As you may know, our oven (range, whatever you call it-we have the stove top and oven in 1 unit) went kaput this week. They said they could deliver the new one today between 12-3.
Now, when I say I'm doing something between 12-3 you can bet I will be there DURING those hours or I will promptly call you to tell you I'll be late. Yeah, well, they arrived at 4:30pm. Whatevs...
They removed old, decrepid oven (range, whatever) and brought beautiful new one in. (We got a great deal, top of the line but last year's model so 50% off!)
Beautiful new one...one side of control panel not working. (it's digital) They called the office who told me I had to wait until Monday for a new one since this controls everything-UH NO. I talked to the office they said "They'll be right back with a new one." You got that right buster.
1 hour later, another new one shows up-same problem as the first one.
Technician now called...tech walks delivery guy (who is REALLY nice BTW) through taking back off to check something 'kitschy' on this model and that IS the problem. QUICKLY fixed and we're set.
It's now 6pm.
Now?
Chicken is FINALLY in the oven, Lilly is sleeping under my chair and I'm about to take a pic of the new oven for posterity.
Oh and BONUS...it has a convection feature so that Thanksgiving turkey will be done in record time this year!
YIPPEE.

We had to replace our oven 7 years ago because it was condemed by the gas company(can you beat that) and then the new one was suppose to arrive between 8-11 and guess what it arrived at 12 and we had to leave for a wedding. I never saw delivery and plumbers work so fast to be out by 12:30 we just made the wedding.
