the dress.

heres my opinion, tho maybe i'm too cynical.
'after' checking to see if the money has been paid into
wherever it goes,
i'd be on the phone first thing monday morning to see what
you're supposed to do about it not being paid on the due
date as per court ordered by the judge.
i see no point in waiting. the police or whoever take enough
time doing things at their end to account for some leeway to
the woman.
giving her 5 extra days leaves it til xmas eve will run into
3 weeks til after new years no doubt and then some.
the courts and police will be busy with all the drunk
drivers from the seasons festivitys to deal with and your
money will seem a pittance to them.
if you dont follow up on what the court ordered who else is
going to?
a single call to see what happens now cant hurt anyone.
sure 'tis the season to be jolly' and you'd be a lot jollier
with that money that is waaaaaay past due to you in your hot
little hands to visit the LQS and stock up on some prezzies
for yourself.
oh sorry, i mean to pay some bills that need paying.
just do NOT give her the dress til you get the money from
her or you'll never get any peace.
i'd not trust someone like that.
bah humbug to her i say.

I'm thinking Dec. 15 was the date for 'the evil
almost-mother-of-the-bride'
to come thru with the money for the gown you made. Since
that would be
Saturday, I was wondering if you'd heard anything?
Fingers crossed it's
sitting there at the courthouse waiting for you to pick up
your check!

So far nothing.
I made a mark on the calendar on the 20th so I can try to
put it as
far out of my mind as is reasonable during the holiday
busyness.
Though every time I have to reach into the broiler to
light the oven,
or try to coax more than one burner at a time into life on
the
stovetop, I tend to think about it! I figure any and all
excuses can
be cast aside if I give five days bonus to her. Plus it
gives a due
amount of consideration to holiday mail clogs, and etc. I
would guess
that she would wait until the very last second to send it.
At least I have heard nothing about appeals or other such
stuff.

DH pointed out to me the other day that my landlord never
installed
the gas valve on the stove line, so unhooking the old one
and hooking
in a new one is going to be an adventure.
