Liora's Journal: Random Updates

Fifty days from right now I will either be having a great time preparing for the party that shimmin's parents are going to throw for our close family, or I will be freaking out. That's ok, freaking out a little is all right, especially the day before you get married.

In other news, all of the people at my church have started posting to Live Journal, and I have not, and I feel a little left out. Why, have I not? Well, its the premise of it... and I hate to be a poser. So instead I told myself that I'd mosey over to /. and post in my own journal. So I'm here.

Rode the train all 14 hours and back to Colorado to visit shimmin's grandparents last week. Sweet sweet people, quite elderly though, so they won't be there for the wedding. So I went with him to meet them and we had fun. It was nice to be in a place that wasn't humid, and it was nice to have a rest. I highly recommend the train to anyone, provided you have the sense to get a sleeper. We didn't. Stayed up almost all night on the way home b/c I couldn't get comfy. Way there I slept like a baby though.

My mom had surgery Tuesday, and I went down to Nashville for it. Her right knee and femur were replaced. Doc didn't have to do the hip, which is good. Mom's still afraid of falling again though, so she didn't want to stand up when the physical therapist was ready to do it on Wednesday. She hasn't been able to walk or stand for about two years, so standing up is a big step. Hopefully she will rehabilitate all right and maybe even be walking by the day of the wedding.

Picked up the invitations today. Now I have to go homoe and spend tonight, tomorrow night, and the weekend addressing them. Yes, shimmin is going to help, but addressing 150+ invitations is still a little daunting. They need to be all done and in the mail by Monday.

Anyway, I intend to post here more often. I may even post some "religious" stuff, or random thoughts that I've been having, like I used to do. Feel free to comment when I do so, but please just don't bother if you're just going to troll. I think that everyone here knows I'm a Christian, and that for the most part, I don't embody any of the negative stereotypes that Christians have, and if you don't know it, go back through my posting history and figure it out. Don't comment without doing some homework.

Not yet. Why, are you offering?

Re:great

[robi2106]

Nope. I can only troll on democrats, and even then... All I do is post things from FoxNews and talk about them. I can't troll properly. All good trolls can troll any body any time.

I'll get some more practice and then have my people call your people.

That's not very fair... I've been posting to /. almost as long as I've been in GodSearch... longer than you have anyway, Mr. I-don't-have-a-Slashdot-account-so-I-post-anonymou sly.

Mail merge!

"Now I have to go home and spend tonight, tomorrow night, and the weekend addressing them."

That's what Mail Merge in Word was made for. Type in addresses, save, hit a button, and it prints them all out. Also useful considering you'll just have to do this again for thank-you cards in a couple months... :)

Anyway, welcome back to slashdork land, where we are all posers.

Well, except for me. I'm a lamer. ;)
