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

    Nerd Alert

    I have gotten into online gaming lately. What with my bouts of stomach pain and all, I've found myself clambering into bed, laptop in tow, and engaging in online versions of...

    No, not The Sims, Halo, Resident Evil, or anything remotely related to fantasy/violent/sexy gaming.

    My games of choice are Scrabble and Boggle.

    (you can stop laughing...NOW.)

    I'm not all that good at either but I'm working on sharpening my skillz (which is not a legal word in either game, btw.)

    Did you know that "Doh" (minus exclamation point) is a legal word in the version of Boggle I play? Well, now you do...

    You can thank me later for imparting that shred of strategerie.

    I love those kinds of online games - have you ever played Bookworm? It is a bit more mindless than Scrabble. I will have to check out Boggle - my latest addiction is Bejewled 2 - totally mindless matching of "jewels". You are not alone my friend. Yahoo has this cool Literati (Scrabble) game and you can play against play against other nerds...I mean people....online!

    Have fun!

    Uhm... I wasn't laughing! Really, it wasn't me - just someone that sounds like me laughing!
