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

    Don't eat sundried tomatoes and chocolate before bed...

    ...or you will end up having wierd dreams like I had last night.

    I dreamt that I was back in my post-teen, college radio-dj-ing, clubhopping days and somehow met and hooked up with Lee Ranaldo at a seedy basement punk gig. We made out in the corner of the room. Then I ended up moving into a loft apartment with him.

    Eeeewwwww! Why couldn't I dream about a cute and unpretentious alt-rocker?!?!?!?!

    euwww, sundried tomatoes & chocolate?! hopefully not at the same time :D.

    I can't remember what I ate last night, but I had a dream (second time I had this one, so it must mean something specific for me), something about staying with my friend Peter in London, and meeting his upstairs neighbours - a band called 'Vallhalla', long-haired, heavy rock band. haha. gotta tell him about that.

    Careful with the Mexican food. You might end up with George Lopez...

    I had sundried tomatoes in my (low carb Dreamfields) pasta; had Ritter Sport chocolate for dessert. Oh, and a glass of some white table wine from the Hamptons that was surprisingly delish.

    Eat cupcakes. You might dream about Stephen Malkmus.

    I have a problem with chocholate covered sundried tomatoes; just the thought makes Me want to wretch. Try cookies and milk at bedtime much more wholesome and might allow you to dream about some christian rock star, forget it that thought makes Me want to wretch to. Try vodka with a twist, you'll sleep like a baby.

    I don't like potatoes, especially not mashed ones! :)

    Funny thing is, tonight we are going out for Mexican...maybe I'll dream of a Spanish-speaking soap opera star. Viva Telemundo!!

    What do pretentious alt-rockers dream of?
    Coulda been worse, you might have had to move in with an entire boy-band, pimples and all.

    Aaughh! Take Scott's advice and go for the mashed potatoes tonight.

    come to think of it, there is no such thing as an unpretentious alt-rock dude.
    Posted by deirdre @ 04/28/2005 10:43 AM PDT
    Oh, well that's because someone else ate something different that made them dream of that cute and unpretentious alt-rocker. :-P

    *hugs*
