Yes, we've been married for nearly 2 weeks. As I said, nothing will probably change except for my name. That is so hard to do, I didn't think it would really be that difficult. I went to get my license changed yesterday and Cynthia was the one who helped me there. She was so nice to me when I worked there, she still looks like a 50's style woman with her hair, and she's so nice.
Since I was already there, I went into the tax collector's office to change my name on the car registrations. Only in FL would they not call it the DMV, sometimes I miss NY and the basic obviousness of it all. I talked to Beth there, she seemed glad to see me and of course she grilled me on my life, job, animals and any other question she could ask. I was congratulated on the marriage, after feeling like I had been questioned by a foreign government for hours. I never thought I would have the nerve to go back in there, I feel almost grown-up and proud to have the balls to go there and not let one of those bitches intimidate me.
We will plan to see Mom and Dad in Sarasota in about 2 weeks, we actually had some bad rain and wind last night which is not common for this time of year. I've had 2 emails from Stefanie re: the bridesmaid dress, I'm pretty psyched for their wedding. I don't know about B and the whole airplane thing, he said he wouldn't fly unless I ride in the VW, shit! I have to get over this crazy claustophobic thing, one of the guys at work suggested a hypnotist. I would love to give it a try.
I will ry to get a new SS card with my new name on it this week, I have to actually practice writing and signing my new name, just so weird to do. I don't even remember who said that now the animals won't be "bastards"-funny, but kind of odd too.
Hey, maybe I'll write more often now, you never know.
