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

    Stale as cheetos in summertime

    Things have been quite hectic around here...I never get time to post blog info, let alone read any of the brilliant, witty essays of my fellow bloggers.

    *sigh*

    Here's something funny: I attended a full-day intensive Bible study seminar on Saturday. Actually it isn't that funny. However the pre-seminar on Friday night had its moments of giggletude...QUITE a number of "characters" that kept me biting my lip those few hours in the pew.

    I wrote up all these hee-larious observations to record here for the electronic viewing audience but I left my notes upstairs and I'm too lazy to haul up there and then back here and re-type all of my wry criticisms so I'll just let you imagine a few good ones for now.

    I was lucky to catch Jim Gaffigan doing his schtick ("Hot pockets!") on Comedy Central last night. Lucky becuase i almost never watch tv anymore. And because Jim is likely the funniest non-swearword comedian out there. He's wierd enough not to need f-words peppering his routine.

    Anyway... he launched into his whole "I'm a kooky Catholic..." routine and if you are familiar with him and his work, then anything I would have written is so closely aligned in content, tone, attitude and overall theme that its a waste of bandwith for me to repeat it in my own words anyway.
