I did it! Today at lunch, I went to the courthouse (accompanied by my friend Janice), and file the necessary form to change my name back to my maiden name. I've been thinking about doing this for a very long time and some recent events finally pushed me into action. That's step number 1 - next I have to go to the Social Security office, followed by the DMV, and then my bank. And THEN I get to change the millions of other records, bills and places that involve my personal information. Yea, it will be a big pain in the butt - but this is important and I feel so strongly that this is the right thing to do. So it's worth all of the hassle.
Now, for the laughter - here's my "MasterCard commercial" moment. You have to understand that Janice is perhaps the sweetest person on the face of the earth - never says a cross word, doesn't drink, smoke, cuss, or do anything else "bad", and is the office "goody two shoes". It was HILARIOUS!
Cost of parking at the courthouse - 50 cents.
Cost of filing the "resume former name form" - $10
Watching Janice be frisked by the security guard - PRICELESS!
