thank you and sorry


Is it just me, or has the phrase "thank you" and the word "sorry" lost all their meanings?
I feel like we over use the words.
But then if we don't say them, we're impolite?
But then isn't it worse to say it and the other person clearly knows that you're just saying it for the sake of saying it?

changing the last name

I know i've been blogging a lot about weddings and marriage, but trust! It's not a normal thing for me to be thinking about marriage this detailed.

I was in the office today and my boss had just gotten off the phone with a business partner who was complaining about the process of changing her last name after a divorce. Our boss then proceeded to say, "ladies, forget about changing your last name - it takes too much time and energy and then if you end up getting divorced, you have to do it again!" Harsh - i know.

And then on the bus, I overheard this lady saying how she didn't realize how many things she had to change her name for - licenses, credit cards, insurance, etc.

I did some research and you have to file for a change request within 90 days for it to be free, orelse it's 25 dollars (which isn't bad). If you want to change your name not for marriage purposes but just because, it's 137 dollars. And then there's those people who combine names, which i think would be really weird for Korean last names

i'm not too keen on changing my last name - I like Kim.

Maybe I'll convince my husband to change HIS last name....

or maybe we can make up our own last name...
