　　Mary: Oh, those are all the Christmas cards I received this year.

　　Adrienne: Oh, that’s a lot.

　　Mary: Yeah, it’s quite a few. I had kind of an extensive list for people I would send cards to but in October my hard drive crashed and I lost my Christmas card list, so I had a hard time trying to figure out how to get cards to everybody this year, so what I’ve been doing is when I receive a card I’m cutting out everyone’s return address and actually taping it to the back of their card so that way I’ll have an ability to rebuild that list at some point.

　　Adrienne: Wow, that sounds like a big project.

　　Mary: You know it’s really so bad cause I enjoy taking a look at the cards anyhow so it’s something do while I’m looking at the cards.

　　Adrienne: So when do you usually send your Christmas cards out?

　　Mary: Well, I try to send them out in the middle of December but this year they left my house on the 21st, so it was sort of way to close to the end.

　　Adrienne: Right. Right. Um, what about next year? Will you try to get them out in the middle of December?

　　Mary: I’m definitely going to try cause now that I have everyone’s address I’ll be able to rebuild that list hopefully before December.

　　Adrienne: Well, sounds like a good plan. Good luck.
