Mrs. Cellular
That seems to be my new name. Everyone says it that way anyway. It does look like that at first glance. The other day I was activating my debit card over the phone and the lady said, "Could you hold, Mrs. Cellular?" I said sure, and as soon as there was silence, I laughed and said to Scott, "Babe, she just called me Mrs. Cellular." When she came back on the phone, the first thing she asked was how to pronounce my last name and then apologized immensely and proceeded to tell me that I had only been on silent mute, not a true hold. (Wow, be careful next time someone puts you on hold. They might can hear everything you say.)Anyway, it's funny to hear all the different interpretations of Mrs. C.

Yes, it's quite an experience to go from an easy last name to a hard one. My advice after almost seven years of being Mrs. Queery/Quirez/Quirky is to just get used to people butchering it and learn to laugh. We keep an informal list of the versions and are eager to share when we get a new one. (We've had many new ones since moving to Brazil!)
Quirky - that's awesome!
Ms. Cellular. That is a cool name. I think I will call you that, too, from now on.
BTW, is Scott related to the Cuellar who pitched for the Baltimore Orioles?
I would assume not. There are more out there than I thought there would be. I'll have to ask him.
Thanks Funny, Karen :) I always get called Mrs. Ripley (like Ripley's Believe it or not Museum). I just say "Yes, that's right. Our family has tons fo shrunked heads in the garage" :P
That is what I think of when I think of your last name.
That is hillarious that she heard everything that you said@
