I am excited about working again. In Hong Kong it was so easy just not to work, and most jobs were impossible to get for people who didn't speak two languages (Cantonese and English - or even three if you add Mandarin). Granted there were tons of jobs in finance - but unlike my husband I didn't want to sell my soul to the devil.
So here I am back in England and I felt the need to change my blog's name. I initially stared this blog to relay my adventures and new life in Hong Kong to those I couldn't talk to everyday. Since I now love blogging, I decided to continue with the blog but it needed a new name. Plus there are still people in the United States and a few in Hong Kong who may want to know what the "crazy american" is up to.
I was first called the "mad american" by an Irish friend of mine who probably thought this because I talk to much, so loudly and I didn't really drink. How was it possible for me to be so insane and be sober? Since then the name seems to have stuck. I have had friends from Ireland, England, Europe, and Hong Kong all call me mad or crazy before and honestly I like being called it. It makes me more interesting. So when I decided to rename this blog I though - of course, it must be called something to do with my craziness.
In addition to people calling me mad, I also feel slightly manic at the moment since we are so unsettled and only slightly homeless. We are temporarily living with friends - but it isn't the same as having your own home. I will get that someday too and I am sure that whole story will be rife with craziness!
After getting a house my next step is to get lots of animals and be THAT crazy lady :-) - well maybe not, I don't really like cats that much - they smell. I guess I will have to think up other ways to be crazy. Maybe I can ask my mom (the original mad american).
