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

    OK, Mammogram result came back clean and clear. Hurrah. But I was told I have to have one annually now; that's ok since its covered by my insurance. Thanks to everyone for your good thoughts - it worked!!!

    I called my mom to tell her my good news, and then she informed me that my dad has to have a prostate biopsy because of some recent test results. Grrr...if it isn't one thing, it's something else.

    Oh yeah, and we're in a Tornado watch now while some towns southwest of us are getting pummeled with some twisters as I write this.  Needless to say, my daughter insisted on watching  her "Wizard of Oz" DVD this afternoon!

    I'm heading off with my kiddo to Philly for a 5-day family visit tomorrow - I just hope the winds and thunderstorms will die down by then.

    Saturday night I plan a visit to the Borgata and maybe a few other casinos; buffet dinner first and then nickle and/or penny slots. Whoo hoo, maybe I'll clean up and win $20 or so! (When you are playing pennies, that's alot of credits!)

    I hope you missed the storms on the way back ... over a foot of blowing, drifting white stuff in NW PA ...

    Glad your tests were ok. I for one am terrified of the male version. Better to err on the side of caution, I guess.

    Whew!! I'm so glad your test came back clean!! I hope your dad's turns out as well!

    Be careful in those tornadoes! I'd much rather deal with our hurricanes than tornadoes...ick.

    Yay! Glad your mammogram was clear.

    Nothing like Wizard of Oz to get in the mood for a tornado.

    Glad things turned out well.

    *hugs*
