7 syllables (syl · la · bles)
2007 has been a big year for me. In December James and I purchased a condo. My stuff was moved in on new years eve and it became my permanent residence. Because of the move I switched gyms and my commute route changed but I can still walk to work. James finished grad school in May and now we are officially both out of school. This is the first time in our relationship that one of us hasn’t been in college or gradschool. James and I were married on June 29th and two days ago we just adopted a dog. His name is Rocky. Most of the things I have done thus far in 2007 I have adjusted easily too. After all, I am a go with the flow kind of girl.
Now we come to the entire point of this post……syl·la·bles and my new hyphenated name. For some reason when deciding to hyphenate my name I think I was only saying the two last names together. Now when I have to call people from work and tell them my name it sure seems like a mouthfull. My name is now 7, count them 7 syllables l o n g. . . . . . . . . firstname= 2 Old last name=2 new last name = 3 for a total of 7. I’ve always thought I was a patient person but I am now getting impatient just telling people my own name.
