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

    We Need More Calgon...

    Remember the classic Calgon TV commercial:

    Chinese Wife: "My husband, some hotshot!"

    I utter that phrase often, although my husband's hotshot comments have little to do with his laundry techniques.

    Example:

    Last night, he saw me reach into the refrigerator to grab an Activia Light yogurt for dessert. For the uninformed: Activia yogurt is purported to promote digestion and relieve symptoms of constipation.

    "I skipped taking Activia for a few days and I noticed the effects of that," I noted.

    He replied, "Oh, so you were having no Activia from your Crack-tivia, huh?!"
