Wearing O the Green and ENTs..

It is Saint Patrick's Day. Woo Hoo. Or tra la la.
I used to get so excited about St. Patty's Day. It represented a day I could really celebrate my Irish roots, accentuate my twinkling blue irish eyes, drink the green beer and scream - YES - I am catholic and proud!

Now- the idea of the irish pride just bubbles up- then fizzles out.

That is all I have to say about March 17th.

I have decided to attempt to really really really do this blog again. I am just so sad I cannot keep it together the way I used to. If you would like to check out my previous life - go to:

My email and name has since changed. The character portrayed in my life has also changed.

I did go back and read those years - wow. I can't believe I stayed married as long as I did. LOL

It is brutal and well - it is honest. I notice that one of the last blogs I posted was a few days before Chris asked me for a divorce. Interesting.

I have not written since.

But so many good things have happened since. I have just had a really hard time seeing this. That is what divorce did to me.
It changed my perception of the world around me.

I think there is a common bond and understanding amoung divorcees. I guess that must be that "bond" mommies find with each other. It's that "If you have not experienced this - you can never understand."

I guess the biggest earth shaking thing I am experiencing now is the fact I am trying to find new hobbies. I have kind of sizzled out with Flamenco. I LOVE it - just the class is not progressing and we do the same things each week. Which I know is necessary to move forward, you must perfect it - but I want to learn new dances - and I need more than once a week for $60 to get my money's worth. I have to figure this out for myself.

Also - I am wanting to try some new things. I want to learn a new "craft." Like knitting or sewing or .. something.

I did order this packet on how to make rosaries. LOL - I know, I know.. but I have always been fascinated with rosaries.

Okay - I think I have rambled enough to constitute a blog entry. hahaha
