I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Dude, that totally shreds....

    I just spent 30 minutes picking some teensy bits of former pay stubs, bank statements and mortgage applications out of the gnarly teeth of our apparently sub-par shredder with needle-nose pliers. My back is killing me from bending over that thing and gingerly pulling each snippet out one by one. I finally got it to work again and finished cleaning up that pile of outdated financial papers.

    Geeze, I used to work at Arthur Andersen - you'd think I knew a thing or two about proper paper shredding technique...

    don't you just love how convienient technology can be? It's our creation to help us, but somehow never fails to cause us more problems.

    Wow, you've been trained by the BEST!

    The giddy world of financial forensics... Enron has nothing on you, B.
    Don't you get tempted to push odd things through the shredder, just to see what would happen?

    Is it a floor model or one of those thingies that sits atop a wastebasket?

    Well, the bright side is:

    You weren't picking them out to try to put them back together again.

    That sucks. I did that once... and I hate puzzles!

    :-P
