Oh, look, another update!
It’s not even been much more than a month, and I’m updating! Oh my.
Work is still work. No word on any of the other positions I’ve applied for, so I guess I just need to sit tight and keep plugging away.
I’ve booked our January 2008 vacation. It’s Ships and Dips III, leaving from Miami, going to Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios, Jamaica. As Tyler Stewart of BNL says, “Screw Ships & Dip II, last year was so awesome, we’re going straight to 3!! Not 3-D, though, that’d be crap.” I can’t wait. Yes, I know it’s over 9 months away, but I’m excited.
Our summer concert line up isn’t too shabby, either. I’ve got Tony Bennett in June, Gaelic Storm in June, and something else somewhere along the way.
Our fabric inventory is up to 1006 yards of fabric now. That’s over 1/2 a mile. And that’s not even counting scraps. Which we have several bags and boxes of.
I’ve nearly completed my first suit. It’s a charcoal grey with a navy lining. I made pants and a jacket. Right now I’m hand sewing all the hems on the jacket. Which is my least favorite part of the whole process. But, the jacket fit well without any major modifications. Which is highly unusal. I’ve also started the mockup for the next suit as well. This one is a cream silk that’s similar to silk noil, but a little more finished, so it doesn’t feel so nubby. It has a very faint plaid of blue, green and peach. Very subtle, and very springy. I’m actually going to make a skirt for this one, rather than slacks. It’s been about 6 years since I’ve work skirts to work. I’ve been sticking with slacks. But, the Daughter says I need to start wearing skirts more often. 
We’re getting our new floor for the kitchen this week, and then the $$$ renovations will be done for a while.
Down there at the bottom of the page, I’ve started cataloging our book collection. I’m going to try to keep it updated, but we’ll see how that goes. It’s not like I need another obsession.
