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

    I'll admit it...my most recent schoolgirl crush is none other than Republican Congressman Mark S. Kirk of Illinois. Yes, he's a naval intelligence officer (hmmm...intrigue...James Bond....) and a lawyer (ugh, nothing good to say about that!) but, he's too darn cute, with those Tim Matheson boyish good looks.



    I think I allowed myself to succumb to his charms (theoretically, of course - no actual scandal here!) when I did a bit of local political activism (environmental-issue-related) and received a thoughtful letter (yes, I know it was a form letter printed up by some college intern) and realized he was "on" my side of MANY issues...quite a "moderate" sort of guy, voting the way I'd vote, even going against party lines in some cases. Right on!

    Who cares about that scrub, Clinton,(bustin' the moves to sell more books) when there are cuties like Kirk in "Da' House" ! lol.....

    Ashcroft would be perfect. I always thought there was a strange resemblance between Eddie haskell and that cop who blew the OJ case cause he "used the N word"

    Hmmm, John Ashcroft comes mind. Did you know that the actor that played Eddie grew up to become an LAPD cop??

    mmmm, or, in my case, Miss G, the "mmmmm, can I spank YOU" look! ;)

    Nic, I think you should do a Washinton version of "Leave it to Beaver" starring Mark Kirk as The Beaver...he's got that innocent look....But who could play nasty Eddie haskell? So many possibilities!

    Have you seen the "Exorsist", the devil can be quite charming and then "Bam" you're spewing split pea soup across the room. I can't see the attraction, but may have a new Gilligan candidate. Please don't go to the dark side no matter how they tempt you.

    I think it's the "please spank me" look in their eyes. hee hee
