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

    still on vacation...

    I'll be back late on Monday...

    I just popped by to report that the vacation has been ok; I've had about 1/2 of the days feelng good, energetic and the others feeling like doggie-doo, so that makes for less than stellar "tourist" activity.

    We did not get called to "come on down" on the Price Is Right Live (pics to follow soon!) but it was an enjoyable experience, nonethelss.

    We had a few decent beach days, and the water has been incredibly warm (no sharks though!)

    We've also been indulging in hoagies, tastykakes, and herrs potato chips to the point where my colon has given up all hope of functioning properly again.

    The single amazing thing that happened on this trip was that 3 days in a row (midweek - those are the days for best slots odds) my husband and I cleaned up (relatively speaking, as we are low $ betters) at Trump Plaza, Trump Marina, Harrah's and Bally's. We are going home with a respectible pile of dough so over all this vacation will end up having a very low net cost.

    Tomorrow we head out of NJ to Youngstown, OH to spend the night as its the 1/2 point for our journey. Somehow OH and IN seem "easy" to get through but driving 76 though PA is a bear.

    Check y'all later!

    LOL...I just finished reading over at Daveman's blog, and now to hear about your colon too. TMI, people....TMI.

    Glad you're having semi-fun though!!!

    Did Bob Barker have a horrible orange fake tan?
