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

    Margaritas on the side?

    I have been busting my bucket on projects both here and in Wisconsin. Many of them have turned out quite well. I''ll post pics sometime soon.

    My "project" for today is to shop for enough ingredients to make beef tacos for 48 second graders for their Mexican fiesta on Friday. I'll probably prepare the beef and seasoning tomorrow, and refrigerate it, then bake the meat & cheese in the shells Friday morning. I'll also take over some containers of toppings, like chopped onion, taco sauce, sour cream and shredded lettuce.

    Ole!
