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

    cramping my style

    For the past 6 weeks or so I have been having randomly-occuring episodes of intense and long-lasting abdominal pain. My GI docs think its duodenal ulcers; I am having an endoscopy next weekend.

    Tonight I am in bed again, with just a heating pad to help a bit with the cramping pain. There is no Rx to help with this. It completely sucks, mostly because it is so random and disruptive and there is nothing I can do about it.

    So, if I don't happen to "visit" often, its likely because I'm either resting or trying to catch up on the things I need to do when I am feeling ok.

    I hope the endoscopy goes well/ or went well (I might be running behind here).

    I had one last October and it went ok. I hope they figure out what's going on...

    What a bummer; hope the doctors can do something about it.
