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

    The Price of Chicken

    Sorry folks but I won't be making that Chicken & Asparagus dish modification (and thus, then reporting the hopefully-corrected recipe) to you this week either as the price of boneless skinless chicken in my 'hood has just been too high lately.

    Also, since hubby is still working that swing shift, we aren't eating "big" family dinners - we all have a lunch together then he sleeps and goes to work at 9:15 or so. Kiddo and I have just been eating small microwave-oriented meals for dinner.

    The d*mn plumbers haven't forwarded their proposals/estimates to me yet so I am starting to lose patience as we REALLY gotta get moving on this project (and the entire home additon thang) immediately. Whythe rush? Hmmm...the answer to this question will apparently present itself in 8 months or so...

    *wink wink*

    Hmmmm it would appear that you have a bit more in the oven than expected. Let Me be the first on here to congrat you. Those sneak attacks must come with benefits;) As for the price of boneless chicken; it cost more to feed a boneless chicken, they have to drag them to the food and then spoon feed them. Just an FYI
