Where Do I Start?

This blog is so fresh and new...just a couple of days old. I'm filled with excitement and apprehension. I want it to be funny and interesting, truthful yet sensitive.

I've had two blogs before (surprise surprise!). All went well for a year or two or three. Then I went through a nasty divorce and my ex's lawyers found out about it. They tried to use it against me in front of court appointed psychiatrists and the judge. I don't know how well it worked but I know that I was completely mortified and in a state of utter disbelief.

The even crazier part was that this was all happening in Italy. His lawyers barely spoke english, let alone were they able to read it! They were trying to decipher what my words meant and find hidden meanings in everything I wrote! Talk about unsettling. It would have been funny if my kids weren't at stake in this whole legal proceeding.

Long story short, I made it out of Italy after six years with two of my three boys and I'm now back in my home country...the good ole U.S.of A. I've never been particularly gung ho or patriotic about America, but believe me, when you live away from the place you were born and bred long enough, you really start to miss it. Or at least I did.

Where i'm going with this i'm not quite sure. But as you can probably understand, I'm a bit wary of starting up another blog. I am however willing to throw caution to the wind and try again. I love to write and I find blogging a good creative outlet for me. It helps keep me out of the dark alleyways of my mind.

So here I go again...
