Hard to do so when vacation is looming just around the corner :)
May be dealing with my first ever no-pay client. Thankfully it was a small project, but still...it's been 30 days since my last article was accepted and put up on their website and I haven't received payment, and the last e-mail I had was nearly 3 weeks ago with the editor who said they had a new CFO who was trying to cut back on the budget. We'll see. I'm giving them until the end of the month before I pursue legal action.
Other than that...kicking arse and taking names. Work for the month of September and October is planned out nicely.
I put the cook-book on hold. It just wasn't realistic to have it done by this point. I have all the recipes, but I don't have all the pictures I need. After talking with Evy about it, I think we'll spend the rest of the fall/winter cooking more dishes and getting more pictures, and then look at it for next spring. I'd love to do it, but I've simply got too many other irons in the fire at this point.
Found an accountant here in Sofia, recommended by the Embassy. Will be giving them a call next month and working out the intricacies of filing from overseas with non-US income and otherwise. Should be interesting.
That's a quick update. Evy's family opened up their 15th store yesterday. We left at 8 a.m. and didn't get home until 8 p.m. Lots of food, wine, and otherwise. Were at the restaurant from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Great fun :) I love living here.

Fun fun.
But that's what contracts are for, of course. It protects everyone.
Heh. I don't know what it is, but a post on Lifehacker, I think, suddenly had me going to the store to find heavy cream to make my own butter, plus I made a tray of cornbread. Then I started looking at some Thai stuff..
I even started wanting to find a tortilla press so I can make my own corn tortillas. What the..?
I'll never eat store-bought flour or corn tortillas ever again. The home-made ones are simply far too yummy.
And ahhh...filing taxes from overseas. :) We had it lucky. All we had to do was declare ourselves non-residents of Canada - and we were only taxed by the U.S. (due to a tax agreement between the two countries).
As the United States taxes based on citizenship rather than residence, you really don't have that option. Bleh!
Heh. I wonder how my one daughter will handle the fact she can get taxed in both countries? /grin
