Just got back from ward Christmas party; a number of people were there who aren't often there on Sunday, as well as quite a few spouses (spice? :D) and other family members and friends.

One of them was Nicole, and I talked to her briefly. I felt a bit embarrassed because I didn't know what she was up to; she's told me before but I've forgotten, partly because I see her so seldomly. Perhaps I need a Farleyfile like the main character in Double Star. (Which would also help me remember people's names and birthdays and other stuff like that.)

Also got a Christmas postcard from [livejournal.com profile] eilanhp today; thanks!

I've been wondering: How come you sometimes write "seldomly" and not "seldom"? The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary only knows the adverb "seldom", but not "seldomly". Google finds "seldomly" 15,000 times, though. Ummm, can you tell me what you think is the difference between the two words, if there is any?

*seldomly

Hm. This may simply be a mistake on my part.

I suppose "seldom" didn't sound adverbial enough to me.

Thanks for pointing it out. (Now I hope I'll remember it.)

The ward I just moved into (Surrey 1st, Surrey British Columbia stake) had their Christmas dinner last night, too. Apparently, there were hordes of people there who haven't seen the inside of the chapel since, well, last year's Christmas dinner.

I'm not used to that. Up North, it was pretty much only active/semi-active people at all the events, with a smattering of others at Christmas.

Whatever.
