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

    Giving Up

    I had 101 plans to spruce up our home/property prior to the arrival of my family next weekend. Virtually NONE of it got done, largely due to uncooperative weather and shrinking bank accounts.

    I had settled in onat least CLEANING the house thoroughly and was feeling pleased with the results...and then my insane dogs peed not once but TWICE on the living room carpet. This, after I had virtually eliminated (no pun intended!) all traces of previous accidents.

    Today I have nothing on my schedule and its drizzly and cold outside, so I'm staying in grubby sweats and scouring the house yet again in hopes that I can maintain some of the sparkle until next weekend.

    I should definitely follow your lead on the srubbing of my house - or maybe I will settle for a little cleaning this weekend and a lot more being lazy and hanging out?!?!

    Yeah, me, too!

    Don't you just hate it when that happens?!
