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

    Abercrombie & Bitch

    Been shopping much?

    Seen the latest "store-within-a-store" Fiorucci boutique at your local Target store? All that "retro" 70's/80's gear made me giddy.

    If I were 15, I'd be all over that merch unless...

    ...my parents saw this Fiorucci website  (warning: not for viewing at work!!) from their fall fashion campaign last year and thus forbade me from buying any of it.

    Gee, I wonder if Target corporate knows about the questionable (is it me, or does it look like kid porn???) material their vendor has online. I mean, the satyrs and nudie sillouettes are campy but a nude teen(?) with the slogan "Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore", uh, not sure how that's going to fly with most American parents. Not to mention, the brand itself it was always kinda funky, if not "colorful." I mean, alot of it leans on a fetishy, punky, handcuffs-'n-high heels rock 'n roll sensibility. The NYC stores back-in-the-day used to have some wild window displays, if I recall.

    Just for fun I fired off an email to Target corporate about this issue and how it (the website content)  made me uneasy  - and I'm not even that conservative of a person! I can't wait to have the store detective shadowing me next time I'm shopping for cleaning supplies and goldfish crackers. *Wink*
