TGIF & Hyphenated Last Names Gone Wrong.

February 15, 2008

Sometimes my husband randomly springs things on me, like that he wants to go compete in Bowling Green at the World’s Auctioneer Championship–tomorrow. So, we are rushing last minute to pack and head that way. Because apparently, it is customary to make last minute decisions.

Anyhow, I’ll be gone for the weekend. All I know is that our hotel better have wireless internet, because there is no possible way I am sitting for 14 hours straight and listening to auctioneers. Particularly, after I have finally come down 100% with the plague, and have an earth shattering headache.

Either way, I’m off to try out this whole supportive wife thing. Have a good weekend!

If you need some entertainment, here are some good reasons to not hyphenate your last name sent to me in an email:

    What if the Wang-Holders crashed the Traylor-Hooker wedding and then the reception was robbed by the Peters-Rising gang only to discover that they have Busch-Rash!!

    Have a great weekend…I do hope, for your sanity’s sake, the hotel has wireless internet. Otherwise, that headache won’t get anything but worse. Sorry to hear your a sickie…it’s no fun, I know!

    You changed it again? I was going to start reading the post but then I saw the header change and it completely distracted me. What happened? I loved the other one. Not as much as the one prior to that but I loved it. This one is nice to but I feel like you’re pulling the carpet out from under me. Stay put Manda. If it ain’t broken don’t fix. I almost thought I’d gone into someone else blog. I like it though. Let me open another window and take some time to chew on it. It’s good. Very nice. The post is a riot. I don’t know how you do it so well every day (POST). It must be because you’re a riot too. I hope you feel better. WHAT is the auctioneer thing? And WHY does he ask you to go when you have a splitting headache?

    Those are classic! You often wonder whether people are so caught up in the whole wedding planning, head in the clouds, that they don’t even stop to think!

  20. Cathy says:

    Those are hilarious. I had some friends who did hyphenate their name and it was Hung-Lo. They were not American and they didn’t get it. I also believe that if you have a certain first name you should choose your last name wisely. I knew this very sweet old woman who’s name was Ima and she married Mr. Hog. God! Ima Hog, what could be worse?
