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

    Littlest Runway Fan

    As a family, we watch dramatically less tv that the average Americans. We choose our shows thoughtfully and deliberately.

    My 8-year-old came running up to me tonight, after her bath, swaddled in her purple "cozy" (one-piece footy pajamas) and asked, "Mom? Um, is that Runway show on tonight?"

    I didn't know what she was talking about. After pausing a moment, I thought, "Oh PROJECT RUNWAY?"

    "YEAH! Can I PLEAAAAASSSSE watch it?"

    So she plopped her chubby lil' butt down on the sofa to take in a rebroadcast of the Project Runway all-cast review show. Following it,the latest episode came on - the Chris vs. Rami showdown. I really wanted to let her watch, but its bedtime so...she'll have to catch a repeat showing. I have to go to bravotv.com to find out when the episode is re-run in her allowed viewing time. So far she has some very well-tuned assessments of the final four designers and their work. I'll have to assemble some of her critiques in a future post.

    See, I need a chick show like this! No one in my house is interested in watching with me though.

    We're picky about our TV too, and it usually involves something military. *sigh*
