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

    Paris Hilton Nation

    Today I served 1/2 of my sentence to  traffic safety school for that offense awhile back where I was speeding while driving holy communion to an invalid.

    Anyway...

    I wish I could have taken mug shots of each classmate and then posted comments about them.

    I think the best moment was when we had a discussion of the senses we use to drive safely.

    The instructor called on a fellow named Ken who replied, "Well, vision, of course."

    "Very good," said the instructor. "What other senses are important for driving?"

    He called on a young blonde woman named Laura to answer.

    "Um, smell?" she replied.

    I am SO glad I share the road with these people. *sigh*

    Well, if I smell a dead animal I could begin looking around so as to avoid running over it again. And if I'm hungry? I could try to smell a nearby KFC.

    You are guys are totally mean.
