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

    Wipe Out

    I went boogie boarding today and despite getting walloped in the head not once but TWICE, to the point of possibly sustaining a mild concussion, it was an incredible time. I need to think about how I will write about today's wave-riding, as I experienced the most unusual and inspirational sight I've ever had in the ocean. I'll just leave you with that tidbit to consider for now...

    On another note, despite my throbbing headache, I'm popping into this casino to claim some comp cash due to me...and natch, put it right back into the slot machines, probably accompanied by a few Andrew Jacksons...yeah, just call me "high roller." (NOT!)

    Okay, I'm chomping at the bit to get the scoop on this "most unusual and inspirational sight". Not a concussion induced hallucination, I'm thinking...

    hahah, it was a whopping $10 in comp cash...which I ended up putting right back in the slots, as they predicted I would!

    But it was fun, anyway!

    "claim some comp cash that is due me...." well that sounds wonderful. I agree --- watch that headache...and I want photos of you boogie boarding....sorry I have been so out of touch...the insanity of work has ratcheted up as I try to ge things in order before my vacation - which starts at 4PM tomorrow!

    You experienced the most unusual and Inspirational site on the ocean?

    Me in a speedo? :)

    Sorry, Brandy. I forgot I'd done a "copy" on that when I pasted.

    Whoops...

    Be careful about that headache. Concussions are no fun...

    I'm really glad you are having a great time, though!!
