Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Well what the fuck is her problem? She afraid of having her son marry someone awesome and beautiful and totally kick ass? Then, I get it.

Otherwise, ass her in the ear.

Today, Aimee will be speaking for me. Keep up the good work, Empress! Ima take a nap.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Anything in particular you want me to say, Nora?

No, just trust your instincts! There's a reason you have been chosen for the gig!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We're meeting TCG's mom tonight and telling her about the engagement. I don't think she'll be happy. So nervous.

Grump. She should be bowled over by the awesomeness that is you, not cranky/prejudiced/whatthehellever. How dare she not see the awesomeness of you??

Huh. You know, I used to do this. Wonder why I stopped?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

sj--just be your lovely self and maybe she wil learn to love you as we do. I knew things were going to be, um, difficult with my ex when he told his parents we were engaged and their first response was "Oh. Is that a Jewish name?" I spent a lot of time and tears over the years of my marriage trying to get them to like me and they never did.

With Jason, I decided they could take me or leave me. I would be polite, as I am to any othe person, but I was not going to work to please them. Turns out they love me--go figure.

move out and draw fire

Robin is wise.

If TCG's mother can't like or at least accept you, there's no one she'll accept. Her loss. I'd love to have you as a DiL.

Punishingly Intricate

re: Word

People, all I ask is that you learn to use styles and then use them consistently! And the automatic numbering is bullshit. I avoid it when at all possible. I just create a style that has the formatting I like (hanging indent, the right leading etc.) and then number things manually. Saves so much aggravation and, ultimately, time.

sj, I hope TCG's mom turns around and is surprisingly accepting of the news.

I just create a style that has the formatting I like

My biggest nightmares when doing Word support was when people would inherit big documents that had interlocking styles, and we had to untangle which fields were referencing what. It was like stepping on a land mine to insert a numbered table, because formats would blow up all over the place.

I enjoyed mail merge, though. Simple logic.
