In a nAMe

I did it today. Changed the ol' last name to a new one just a few hours ago. It was a much more complex decision than I expected it to be. Do I keep my maiden name? (even the descriptor of it is wonderful) Do I take a married name? Do I find a way to hyphen or blend them? Tuschwo...Touche...

I finally decided to embrace tradition (and for a lot of other reasons) and take his name. I believe the tradition is pretty damn sexist of us Americans. I think the Mexicans have a far superior system. But, when in Rome... So like a lemming, I am a Schwope.

This is the last picture ever of me as a TUMMONS. (in my car in front of the SSA building)



I told Tory my compromise was to keep Tummons for all things music related. He said, "Sweet, dog, it will be like a stage name. And then if you go into porn, you can also use it for your screen name." Oh, honey. You're so classy. I love you.

Ahh aren't they ALL classy?

Congrats, Mrs. Schwope.

Does it fit? Or do you feel like you're wearing it like a strange new coat? It took me a while to break in 'Harper' as my own. :)
