Blogged On

So I've decided to join the world of blogging... My only experience so far has been a baby blog to keep people updated on the birth of my first child, which I summarily abandoned once baby arrived (almost 5 years ago now). But I've decided that I have things to say and I need a forum for venting and sharing with whoever decides to tune in. I don't promise that my entries will always be interesting or posted with predictable regularity, but when I get the urge to comment at least I'll have a way of "speaking" to the world. The subject matter will be varied and in many cases you won't get it unless you are or have been an expat in Spain (or at least in a Spanish-speaking country) so I apologize in advance. I must also beg forgiveness for any lapses into British English; though an American by birth, I've been using UK-EN at work for so long now that sometimes I forget which "dialect" I'm supposed to be using. In any event, I hope that whoever reads this blog will find it enjoyable, and if you don't then I'm sorry, but this blog is mainly for me. Working from home and with two small children in my charge, I don't have many opportunities for adult conversation (and then rarely in English) so this is primarily an outlet for expression.
