My husband and I bought a color printer. That was our gift to each other. My mother-in-law gave me a bedspread that I very much wanted. And my father-in-law and his wife made a donation to the American Friends Service Committee in my name.

My friend in Silver Spring gave me a wonderful gift -a pair of fluffy Garfield slippers! My friend in Texas gave me coasters that you can slip photos in (I'm a photographer), and my friend here gave me beautiful placemats which are replicas of Audubons paintings of birds.

Yo, this Christmas
vacation was very, very, very interesting...word up G (or F as the case
may be)...
I talked for a long, long, long time with my folks about my job situation
which, for lack for a better word, sucks...it would be a bold faced lie
to say that I do not hate my job...more than anything else in the world,
I want to get a real job...my mom, whether she was trying to cheer me
up or not, I cannot say, but she said that this is the year I get a real
job...all I can say, is I sure as hell hope so...I have been trying to
get a real job for 4 years now...and I am getting extremely frustrated
right now...my greatest fear is forty years from now I will be a tooth
gyser...still in the file room...

18 volt drill/circular saw/hand saw/vac/light set (sweet!), NCAA 2003

flu (it was the best and worst Christmas!)

I received several beautiful sweaters, an assortment of trinkets, and a glass vase hand-painted with flowers by my seven year old granddaughter. Perhaps the oddest gift was a leather travel case for contact lenses. Intangible, but important, was an e-mail from an old friend with whom I'd lost

The best gift I probably could have received. Peace and quit.
