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

    April Fools

    This morning it was 20 degrees (F), gray and drizzly when I walked my daughter to the bus stop.

    But its spring, right?

    APRIL FOOL'S!

    Honestly, this has got to be one of the most drawn-out "winters" in my 20 years living in Chicagoland.

    But my perrenial plants are popping through the frozen tundra, despite the temps. They've been "living" on this property longer than I have so I'm guessing they are used to the fickle weather by now.

    *sigh*

    We're having crazy spring weather - raining while the sun is out followed by snow and hail. Repeat.

    Never know what to where. Then again, wait an hour and it doesn't matter anyway; it'll change.

    Hope it warms up there soon.

    I hear ya! It was nasty yucky here for April 1st too. Today, I enjoyed a bikeride in the sun. Tomorrow's forecast: more crap. Happy spring!

    It's rained here the past few days, but we need it. Overall, I can't complain about the weather. It's 70-something again today.

    You just live in the wrong part of the country! :)
