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

    Alternative Energy

    Here's my plan to rid our country of dependence on foreign oil:

    1.) step up barley farming and distribution efforts nationwide.

    2.) mount a massive campaign to get everyone on a turkey-barley-vegetable soup diet

    3.) get those windmills and natural gas plants ready for action.

    Seriously, though, what the duece is with BARLEY? It seems like this innoucous little grain, has a nutty, al dente chewiness, is delicious in soups and stews, is packed with protein and fiber but DAMN does it get the colon cackling.

    I wonder if simultaneous worldwide spritzing of OUST and FEBREEZE will inerefere with those windmills?

    pleaaaaaase, no Febreeeeeeeze! Oust I can handle (I think), but Febreeze makes me sneeze.

    barley eh? hmm... I was wondering why my colon was cackling (dude, you coulda warned me sooner!) after having some barley vegetable soup a while back!! I like barley, but this seems a bit extreme for a lunchtime after-effect.
