I just ordered my first kilt, an Edinburgh Kilt from Alphakilts. Now I'm just counting down till the day it comes it. Has it been two weeks yet? I don't know how people wait 6 - 10 weeks for some kilts. I'd be climbing up the walls!

Congratulations, if you think 6-8 weeks is bad, I once waited for 9 months for a kilt, it was worth it in the end.

Congratulations! Welcome to your first "Jones".

It better iron itself, on Sunday mornings while hanging in the closet, and must let itself in/out automatically for a nine month wait!

Good on you sir! Way to pull the trigger! Been eyeing one of those beauties by Daron for some time now.

Best way to use the time you're "jonesing"? Order sgian dubhs, sporrans, etc,etc,etc!!

Congratulations. You now have a condition known as "Jonesing". It isn't fatal, but it is barely treatable and is only cured (briefly) when the object of the "jonesing" is obtained.

Jonesing Symptoms, a primer:

First Trimester (in your case only a few days): characterized by sweaty hands, queasy stomach and multiple trips daily to the website you ordered from to see sample pictures of what you ordered.
Second Trimester: All of the above, with the addition of finding excuses to be at home when (a) mail is usually delivered or (b) the FedEx/UPS truck usually comes through your neighborhood.
Third Trimester: All of the above plus a near-constant sense of time warp (i.e.) the sensation that it's been 2:30 for at least the last two hours, but your watch has only just moved to 2:31. Caution, patient can exhibit sleeplessness and irrational behavior as they enter the last couple of days of the third and final Jonesing trimester. In extreme cases, Postal Workers have sought restraining-order protection from "jonesers" in the throes of the late-third-trimester.

A prescription: buy two sporrans and post to us in the morning.
