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

    Full Dance Card

    I may be absent from the blog/online scene for awhile as I have a really full schedule this week. Playdate for kiddo tomorrow, packing for our trip on Thursday, and (hurrah!) a mammogram on Wednesday.

    Oh yeah - can y'all send some good thoughts that that mammogram comes up blank this year - I have too much to do this month to take any time out for a friggin' tumor or two this year!!

    :)

    This has nothing to do with the post but the tagboard won't fit the story so I'll post it here:

    I had a dream last night that I thought I was pregnant & you were with me at the mall trying to find a pregnancy test.

    I was having such a hard time finding a test & then I didn't have any money to buy one so you offered me your credit card. We still couldn't find a store that sold any.

    I just remember an overwhelming feeling of support coming from you in my dream.

    I woke up this morning with fond thoughts of my dear friend Brandy.

    I have no clue what brought that on but today I'm left with a feeling of a special connection to you.

    How weird is that? *hugs*

    Hope your mammogram goes well... and your trip. :-)

    This may be the only time My thoughts are good, enjoy them. You are to ahem "frisky" to be bogged down by anything negative.

    Good thoughts for good mammo results. But shunning me for the kid and vacation planning??? Hmmmm forgiveable THIS time I suppose.

    Praying that your mammogram is normal! (hug)
