Hmm. 

Not much going on. 

The company's afloat, the fish are swimmin', and my car's still running.  I 
think that's enough to be thankful for this year. 

Things with John are going well, though I miss him terribly.  We've decided 
to remain living where we are for a while, so I guess I'll have to continue 
missing him for a while. 

Christmas shopping is going well.  I have most of my gifts - the ones where 
I had a definite idea, a thing-to-buy.  Now I have to think of something for 
the hard-to-buy-for.  And no, it won't be fruitcake. 

My brother graduates with his Bachelor's in Plastics Engineering on Saturday 
from Ferris State University.  Yay Scott! 

Also graduating this weekend: Chris Quackenbush and Sean Millichamp.  
Congratulations! 

Chisrtmas cards just seem NOT to be going.  I bought them.  I looked at them.  
I made a list in my head of people to send 'em to.  And then.... it just 
didn't happen.  I still have a little time, but it's looking doubtful.  I think 
I'll save the cards for another attempt next year, and in the meanwhile 

        M E R R Y    C H R I S T M A S    E V E R Y O N E!!!!!! 


Lots of Love, 

   -Amy

Hold up, hold up! 

I just remembered a few things: 

1. I was going to give out a website. It has the information for removing 
yourself from mailing lists. I see this as a very good thing, so I thought I'd 
pass it along. The phone number is 888-5OPTOUT, webisite: 
http://www.transunion.com/Personal/MarketingOptOut.asp 

2. I'm making a cloak now, not just a ren-faire bodice/chemise/skirt combo 

3. Amtrak no longer has the great deal from Chicago to NOLA.  However, they now 
have a great deal to LA.  However, John only gets 5 days vacation.  However, 
Toronto is also a cool place to vacation.  As you can tell, it's complicated, 
but I think I might be taking another trip to Toronto this Spring.  Maybe.  
Unless I can find someone else to spend a week in LA/Hollywood with me. 

OK, I think that's it this time. 

Happy Holidays!
