>>>I kept my married name because my daughter was young and it is much easier to have the same last name as my daughter. I haven't decided if I will change it back when she graduates or not (June 2009).

>>>:o)
>>>
>>>Frankly, I'm not that attached to any last name. Maybe I'll just make one up and use it instead... :o)

>I was thinking 'Cash' since it has a nice ring to it :o) That should give my socialist friends something to talk about for years... :o)
