getting my toes wet

A new friend suggested that I jump on the blog bandwagon to get my brain back up and running... so here it goes.  I am beyond a novice - and am a pretty private person - so this will certainly be something to behold!  However, I have a feeling that deep down inside, I have a lot to say.

I relocated from New York City to Amsterdam with my husband (and our lovely dog) a year ago, and it has been such an experience.  Everyday I am met with something that makes me smile, something that makes me cry, and about 10 things that make me want to scream.  Emotional roller coaster?  You bet.  

Selfishly, I am writing this in an attempt to keep my sanity in check, as well as attempting to force myself to sit down at the computer and start writing... anything for now.  I used to be an art historian who wrote about objects.  Now I am a corporate wife in a village, just trying to survive what each day brings me.
