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

    More Funeral Funnies

    We explained to my curious daughter that "Aunt Patsy" (the lady who died) was creamated as she was asking why we didn't attend a ceremony after Mass to "put her body in the ground."

    On Sunday she was still chatting about Friday's funeral-related events and went over her mental checklist for us as she was about to ask another question:

    "Mommy, you know Aunt Patsy, the lady who died and was primated..."

    "No honey," I replied, stifling my snickering, she was "creamated."

    "Oh yeah, creamated," repeated the kid.

    Naturally her dad had to chime in, "Yeah, they didn't turn her into a monkey!"

    Brandy, not to criticise your post, as it was really funny, but what made it even funnier for me was the way you spelled 'creamated'
    I have images of corpses getting dunked in vats of the stuff...
    I guess I'm just used to spelling it 'cremated. ;-)
