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

    Weekend

    We are heading to El Cabino in The Rockin' Van for the long weekend which is extended more than usual b/c the kiddo has Tuesday off. So, dad also took Tues off giving us all day Monday to enjoy the fresh Wisconsin air and NOT sit in the traffic jam on 90 heading back to Chicago.

    I am completely bummed about how much gas is now. It really makes us re-think heading to the cabin just for weekends this summer.

    Luckily unleaded is *slightly* cheaper across the border. Come to think of it, virtually EVERYTHING is cheaper than here in Crook, er, COOK County, Illinois.

    Have an enjoyable weekend, everyone!

    Well, at least you got an extra day to spread out the cost of that gas. Hope you have a great time!

    I stayed local this weekend but the traffic heading to cape cod (about 2 hours south of us) was horrible coming home this weekend - the news said about a 20 mile back up at one point! Gas is ridiculous - around here we just hit $4.00 a gallon!

    We're driving a good way this weekend, too. I am not excited about traffic. Best of luck to both of us...
