I had always thought about somehow chronicling my BIG LIFE CHANGE when I decided I was actually going to do it, I just didn't plan on it taking 8 1/2 years to start that chronicle. Oh well, better late then never? Hmm, we'll see.

So here's the low down. I am a San Francisco girl. Now I live in a small, (formerly) depressed market town in middle England. And the longer I live here, the more different I realize these 'two countries divided by a common language' really are. It shocks me on a fairly regular basis. And as I have no fellow Americans physically here to turn to and say, "Are you kidding?!?!" I thought I'd just say it here.

Oh, and Georgia? If this all goes horribly wrong it's ALL YOUR FAULT.
