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

    Bogus, dude!

    My husband decided to go "legit" (somewhat) with his MP3 collecting and subscribed to Yahoo!Music. I was on there this morning gathering tunes for treadmill time and was shocked to find only ONE  version ("special disco version!" - duh!) of Heatwave's "The Grooveline" and zero, I tell ya', ZERO copies of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack nor any of the booty-shakin classics from it that may have been reissued elsewhere. WTF?!?

    I did snag one of my fave (albeit corny) synth classics:"(Keep Feeling)Fascination" by Human League. In case you need to know - it's an excellent paced jam to accompany hill running or stairmaster torture.

    I can just see you stair-climbing to that! You're right, it's got a beat and is repetitive enough to keep the motivation up. I too liked the Human League, I had that album on cassette (sheesh, remember that? You could buy albums on freaking cassette!) and I think it's now located in a box under the stairway.

    So far I've not subscribed to any of those but am thinking about it also. I've found almost everything I want when I want it, but there is something to be said for honesty.

    Oh, "Fascination" by Human League. There's a walk down memory lane! Now I'll have it in my head for the rest of the day!
