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

    Snickering Pursuit

    As further testimony to my true nerdiness, (as if anyone needed MORE proof) the last night the hubby and I played Trivial Pursuit: The 90's Time Capsule Edition.

    I landed on a brown space which signifies "video/tv/film" in this version. Hubby asked the question:

    "What motion picture director appeared in a Benneton ad and decried AIDS as a government conspiracy?"

    Instantly, I thought of some of the more "hip" and fashionable directors of the 90's. Jim Jarmusch? Gus Van Zandt? Finally I offered my feeble-minded response:

    "Michael Moore?"

    Hubby replied with his usual zinginess, "Uh, I can't see Michael Moore in a Benneton ad. Now maybe a Bene-TON, ad..."

    Whah-whah-whahhhhhhh...

    (btw, the correct answer was "Spike Lee")
