Plus1. When I was in the UK, I simply hyphenated my maiden name with Mr.Brit's for work purposes because it would have been a pain trying to let everyone know who I was if I just had my married name. I was sooooo glad to come to the USA so that I could drop my maiden name because no-one here knew my previous name and so it didn't matter anymore.

And, in any case, I like being Mrs.Brit rather than Ms.

In my former life, I always went by Ms., not just professionally, but also on all my FF accounts, etc. When I married Plus1, I was happy to go by Mrs.

This morning we had bl jr's Kinder Graduation. It was very sweet, and markedly different from her preK graduation last year (where they wore cap n gown). The highlight was singing to NY, NY only it was changed to First Grade, First Grade. I'm pretty sure none of them know the NY NY song anyway.

Yes, it's time for bed. The grade comments are writing themselves less and less successfully. :rolleyes: Good night, Box!

That was very entertaining! ^; I think that'd be a good way to do it ;)

I think you should divvy up the grade comments among teh box and it could be a lot of fun!:D

When I checked the MSP Hyatt Place, I did come up with some :rolleyes: rates (although it would also have up to 20% off). There's a Holiday Inn Suites which was comfortable, where SkyTeam USA put me up when I took the bump a couple weeks ago. Don't know which promotions you're working at the moment but PriorityClub has an acceptable one.

Thanks, guess mo'points is mo'points

My wife kept her maiden name as well. The paperwork for new credit cards and a new drivers license is :rolleyes:

I have ccs that I still haven't changed over and my SS card is still in my maiden name (I tried changing it; I did all the paperwork correctly and attached proper documentation, they still sent it back :rolleyes:). I only recently changed Delta and UA. :o

I'm on a conf call being run by a woman from my old company. She is still as incompetent as she was 3 years ago when I had to work with her regularly.

On the plus side, my responsibilities have expanded a bit so I get more work to do.

My grade comments are always interesting but I do have fewer than 30 students this summer.

I ended up doing the double points (after second stay) for Priority Club as the first stay was already completed due to a shortage in my state travel budget (Crowne Plaza, Danvers, MA).

Airfare has fallen far enough on BNA-WAS for me to use VDB credit instead of a WN award.

I'm down to 40,000 and have no idea what I am going to do with mine. Fortunately the expiration date got extended with my one-per-year HHonors stay for 2010 (MSY in April).

Even with the 80K I burned this weekend in Asheville I'm still over 100K. With my current work schedule, I'm still earning faster than I can burn. :rolleyes:
Damn you Hilton, just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in. Why are you the only hotel chain in half the places I need to go this year??!! :mad:

In my case, yes. I only work about half-time so getting more means having enough income to fund my minor travel addiction. ;)

Also, this is mostly easy work that I can perform from just about anywhere. I intend to prove that from my back deck in a couple hours. :cool:

Hoping for bumpage on 12:45 CLL-IAH (Seth's tool shows 0 availability....), however, the bump gods usually don't work in my favor.

If no bump, I'll be in IAH E terminal PC from about 1:30 till 3-ish if anyone is around :)

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 12:39 pm.
