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

    Reality Bites

    I always wondered who wore the kooky, semi-kitschy and moderately pricey duds from Urban Outiftters...

    ...and then I caught a bit of #1 Single on E! and realized that it must be Lisa Loeb who is single-handedly keeping that chain of overpriced juniorwear afloat.

    And what is UP with her flashing her thong'd lil' heine to Isaac Mizrahi? Speaking of whom... can I just note that, though I appreciate his sense of style and humor, he has got to be the worst talk show host on the planet. Although one interview I'd adore: Isaac Mizrahi talks candidly to resident Alien, Roger, from Fox's American Dad.

    Urbban Outfitters? Gawd I have not been able to get that stuff to fit me for um like 10 years. You gotta have one of those wicked low waists to wear any of their pants and have no chest to wear any of their shirts.

    I do like their candles and funky home stuff tho.

    Okay, confession time. I've had a crush on Lisa Loeb for the better part of ten years. I own all her albums and had a poster of her singing into an upside down microphone for years.

    Please don't tell anyone, though. I have a "gawthy" reputation to mantain.

    But your right about Urban Outiftters. AC/DC shirts lose any sense of inner coolness once one forks over twenty-five bucks for 'em. How very un-rock 'n roll.
