Anonymously Spitting The Truth

Sometimes I just stand amazing at the amount of wisdom that my Mom has.  When I got married my new surname was a bit strange at first.  You know, its just hard to make it fit with my name without sounding funny.  Even though I spent a good couple of years imagining it, dreaming about being a Mrs. 

However when I could finally, legally call myself a Mrs. it was harder than I thought.  My signature.  My e-mail accounts.  My person info on all my accounts.  I can't just go and change it - I need proof.  I know I've got my marriage certificate and all, but still, its a hassle.  Changing my e-mail address alone is a hassle.  I left it for a while, thinking that its not urgent or anything.  Still I dread changing my driver's license & ID - home affairs & the traffic offices are notorious for the horrible lack of decent service. 

My Mom started encouraging me to do the things which are easier though.  Changing my e-mail, practicing my signature.  All those things might seem pretty annoying and pointless to women, specially like me who thought that I would "eventually change it".

My Mom realized something which I hadn't yet.  For a wife to take on her husband's surname half heartedly says something.  If however she is enthusiastic about the whole rig-ma-roll, it make the husband feel proud - after all men do see their woman as a trophy.  Not in an ugly shauvinistic way, but rather in a proud way.  Proud that his wife is HIS wife, and no one else's. 

Oh well, I guess its not that way for all men, but I'm truly making an effort to get myself into the Mrs. who I wanted to be for so long :)

 

Hey hey, I'm back again.  I was off sick, at home, which was nice for a change.  I wasn't THAT sick that I couldn't enjoy being at home, still the doctor booked me off.  Great!!  I spent the time cleaning up the house, doing some laundry, reading a bit.  Some friends came over for coffee...  It was actually quite nice.  Funny if you think that I was actually off sick.

I managed to get the internet working at home (my new home), but I'm connecting through my mobile, so its a bit pricy, which is why I didn't blog, even though I CRAVED it.

I have been struggling to get to work today.  *sigh*.  I am really unmotivated.  Specially coz I spent the past two days lazing about, and now its nearly weekend! 

I've been on facebook today, and its such a cool site.  I know the warning signs were all there, and I guess if you're not careful people will find out awkward things about you, but I find it such a nifty tool to keep in touch with friends and family.  I'm constantly in contact with my two nephews who live in Texas, and its just so amazing.  Imagine a hundred years ago, this wasn't even someone's DREAM.  Back then merely creating a calculator would've been considered a miracle.

Okay, I guess my mind is wandering WAAAY too much.  Maybe its the antibiotics :P  I'll use that as an excuse. 

Then just one last thing...  I absolutely LOVE married life still.  I know many of you will say that its still only a month and a bit, but I absolutely love it.  I love going home in the afternoons.  I love cooking for my husband.  Doing his laundry.  And falling asleep next to him.  Its simply fantastic.
