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

    Splish Splash

    I have noted my interest in spa treatments - from massage to coffee wraps, facials to saunas.

    However, despite the fact that their facilities look incredibly luxurious and relaxing, I don't think I'll be "treating" myself to this service anytime soon:

    (from the Juvenex specialty menu:)

    GYNO SPA CURE: Try this ancient remedy that Asian cultures have known for centuries. Utilizing healing herbs to irrigate the vaginal passage to restore optimum health. Available for the first time in the U.S.

    30 Minutes ‑ $75 - 12 Sessions for $750


    A squirt by any other name...

    If I were that concerned with "irrigation" in that area, for $75, I could get 20 DIY Massengil kits from Walgreen's!

    75 bucks to shove some plants and weeds up there??????? you know behind the scenes, they are pulling weeds out back and calling them herbs......

    $75 for 30 minutes of irrigation? Haven't the Asians ever heard of water skiing? Same thing, plus a tan!

    Interestingly, I misread 'irrigate' as 'irritate.' Which I think is, frankly, more accurate. If only because I spent $75 frickin' dollars for it...

    Ha Ha before I read your last paragraph I was thinking the same exact think. For $75 I would rather get a facial or massage thank you very much.
