So, since being back from the honeymoon I have done nothing productive in the married world.
I haven't changed my name yet. I'm still very afraid of this step by the way, but beyond that I haven't even made an attempt to do it. It just seems so hard and pain in the assy...I mean, all of the damn government agencies that you have to contact. Social Security, Passport, DMV, blah biddy blah, blah, blah! Another thing that men don't have to deal with. Plus we're going to Florida in November and my plane ticket says Ms. Funkybee, not Mrs. Funky and I don't want to have to deal with that mess.

I am barely through the "thank you" notes. That is another thorn in my side. Is it wrong that I've written the same thing over and over in every one? Except for the greeting. I hope no one compares notes. It's either "We're so sorry that you were unable to make it to the wedding", or "We are so glad you were able to spend our big day with us". Lame huh? The good news is, gifts are still rolling in. The checks are the most favorable. The bad news...A LOT of people haven't given us gifts. And I am not being a cheeky little bitch. Honestly, some people that we really thought would have given us gifts like family and wedding party (aka really close friends) have not. It's kind of weird. BUT, I guess etiquette says that you have a year from the wedding date to give a gift so we'll see what happens...I'll tell you what we don't need. We don't need another bowl or serving platter. I think if we get another of either Mr. Funky is going to make me move out to the yard and make my own house with all my damn bowls.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am not (that) shallow and materialistic. I don't only think about gifts and how much money people give me but if you've ever had a wedding (and a honeymoon) you know how much they cost. You know what goes into deciding who makes the guest list cut and you know that getting gifts from people is a big part of it whether you know it or not. It's just customary to give wedding gifts to a new bride and groom. It's expected and it's weird when you just don't get anything from some people. That's all I'm sayin!
