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

    "no good deed goes unpunished"

    My husband uses this phrase (usually applied inappropriately) all the time...but it REALLY fits here:

    Yesterday I was cleaning and filling the birdfeeders, and cleaning up the yard. I felt something hit me in the head, I reached up my hand to brush it away and....YECH!!! BIRD POOP!!!!!!!!

    I have heard, though, that its "good luck".

    When I suffered from IBS, I had a morbid obsession with all things scatalogical but I will tell you now that NONE of them involved animal poo!

    Nothing exciting planned for the weekend except I think we will watch our town's parade on Monday.

    I plan to wear a hat from now on when I am in the yard!

    :)

    Hey Brandy! That sounds unfortunate. YIKES! I find that when I do good deeds, I also end up getting the rotten end of the stick. Continually wondering why that is?

    IBS=Irrital Bowel Syndrome, right B?

    Don't know how that works, but I have also heard that it is good luck. Now having a total brainfart here what is IBS?
