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, not THAT O.J.

    Wow, the juicer has exceeded my expectations!

    I make an afternoon  "cocktail" of green apple, red apple, carrot, celery and beet juice...it was great! It sort of felt like a "snack" and gave me lots of energy to take 4 more short walks - back and forth to take my daughter to and from her chess class at a local park.

    Ever since she saw the juicer hogging up countertop space, my daughter has been begging me to get a big bag of oranges so we can make fresh O.J. I will certainly plan to do that before the weekend. How often do kids BEG for healthy stuff?!

    I am going to browse through the recipe book again before heading to the farmer's market for as many fresh-picked items as my 'fridge can handle.

    Ohh fress squeezed ice cold OJ....it is one of the things I miss the most since finding out I was diabetic - well that and oreos - having just a small amount is such a tease.....enjoy a big glass for me.

    I've contemplated getting a juicer, but that's as far as I've gotten. I"m curious as to what kind you have. I'm pretty stingy with my counter space.

    Just dont invite O.J., to come and make O.J. - that would not be so healthy ;-)

    thanks, Bob. I did carrot with 4 apples today and that was tasty, too.

    I'll try the oj/carrot blend this weekend.

    Try adding OJ to carrot juice, you'd be surprised at how they compliment each other.
