Wow, it's been a slow day....
But, in fact, the first slow day we've had all summer. The usual parade of Dumb people at work, but nothing Earth-shaking.
So I'm sitting here day dreaming. Cruising the Disney Vacation Club website. Looking for yarn that I don't need. Shopping for a solo Irish Dancing dress for Anneliese - that she won't need for years, if ever.
But aren't they fun?
Elevation Design has my current favorite website. Neat stuff. I like the Siopa Rince dresses, too, but they're doing a site redesign and it won't be up until the end of the summer. :-( Here's one of their designs for sale used, though.
Gavin Doherty has some neat stuff, too. Though some of it is a little flamboyant and grapic-y for my taste.
Eileen Plater has some neat stuff, too. Lots of velvet.
Dancing In Celtic has some less expensive designs that still look good.
I do have a line on somebody that deals in used foreign cars that regularly has a good inventory of Jettas. So progress continues apace.
The estate is finally closed for John's brother. Though all of his inheritance was lost to a lawsuit against the estate. Apparently, we can claim this as a loss on our taxes next year. I don't think this will make an enormous difference in what we get back. But I'm not a CPA. And so we'll have our taxes done by one next year. And if it does mean a large unexpected windfall... maybe we'll be a tiny bit irresponsible and take the girls on vacation.
