Upcoming expense anyone?

Aside from the holidays (which I hate to say are coming along quickly) what upcoming expenses does everyone have coming up?
We are almost debt free but it seems like I still have expenses that are stressing me out.
Dentist bill - I owe them $127 and I go for a crown and two cavities tomorrow so I will probably end up owing them at least $300 more (if not more than that....)
February - 6 month auto bill - about $600. I CAN pay this monthly but I prefer to pay it all at once and not have to worry about another monthly bill.
Feb/March - preschool payment for my DD who will start in fall of 2010. That is $850 through our park district.
Those are my big expenses in the future that I can see.
Oh, and we are buying a new computer! But we have $1,000 in savings already for that so we just need to decide what kind to buy.

We're just trying to get our ducks back in a row after the job change. (pardon the pun, but there's been so much rain lately)
I need to contact the vet and ask her what the balance is that I owe her for trying to save my horse.

My big upcoming expenses are with my store but I don't know if I will make it through the winter without going over on my credit line so I will help it along personally.
I need at least $2000 for corporate taxes, maybe 2800 ish
I need 2055 for property taxes.
I think I can come up with $2000. The rest? I am going on a wish and prayer and hoping my credit line can handle things. We will see.
Christmas: I am not spending a lot this year and I am trying to get it organized now and spread it out so I am not scrambling in December. I hope to be done in November.
(knock on wood) Other than the normal expenses and christmas, we don't have anything out of the ordinary coming up that I know of, at least through the end of the year.
We are going to put a new a/c and heat pump in the house, but the money is already set aside for that.
I have a dental appt. tomorrow and I have a feeling a lot of follow up dental work will be needed, but i have all that money set aside in my flex spending medical account.
We aren't going to Michigan for christmas this year, and DH's son is not coming here, so nothing for that.
Possibly I may have a bit of spending money I need to give ODD for their cheerleading competition they are attending over Christmas, but that won't be much at all, and because of that competition, she can't go to Michigan for christmas either, so I am saving airfare there also.
The only other thing I can think of is my parents are coming for a week in October and my brother is coming to visit for the week before Christmas, so a little bit of entertaining money is needed, but not much.
So, unless the shoe drops, we are in pretty good shape. (again, knocking on wood)
You have way more than enough for a computer - you can probably get two with the amount saved.
