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

    Year of the Dawg

    I was having a terrible weekend: after my initial elation/exhaustion from my swimming workout on Thursday, I awoke on Friday to discover that I got my period AGAIN. Yes a full week early - thus giving me TWO ,count 'em, TWO menses within one month's time thus far in 2006.

    The resulting skin breakouts, mood swings and weight flux put me in foul spirits which resonated until this evening.

    Upon the suggestion of the Hubby, I picked up Chinese food for dinner. After inhaling copious amounts of Kung-pao chicken, I opened my fortune cookie:

    "Remember: After a rainstorm there is always sunshine."

    So in a few days, I guess I can expect butterflies and daisies to come fluttering out from betwixt my thighs?!?! Whatever...as long as its not that bouncing yellow Wal-Mart smile face, whistling dixie as he emerges from my nether region, I think I'll be fine with it. (insert smart-a** grin here.)

    Hey! maybe that's the solution to America's energy crisis, Abby!

    Maybe some scientist needs to strap my lady parts to a generator and VOILIA! Energy crisis solved! America enters a new age with its vagina-powered economy.

    And, heck, maybe I'd get elected to office for such a contribution and...oh wait, we already HAVE a President Bush !!!! (I couldn't resist!)

    Sounds to me like you might maybe expect some awesome power from those nether regions? As in solar??

    Nothing like zits, water retention, and PMS twice in one month to make a woman roar, eh?

    Ha! That had me laughing.

    I hope the chicken was deeeelish, though, in all of this.
