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 Update

    -Apparently the tacos were a hit - daughter reported that most kids took seconds and some even took (*gasp!*) fourths!

    -Hubby is in Florida for a work-related trip this week. He left today. Unfortunately, kiddo is not done with school yet so we couldn't join him at the uber-awesome mega-reort where he is staying.

    -Our weather has been rather severe - either it is insanely hot and humid or we're hiding in the basment dodging thunderstorms and tornados. Ah, summertime in the midwest...

    - I have not been able to indulge in my fave wordgames on another website because some of my keyboard keys aren't working well - like " (quote) and 3 and s. I have to pound on them to get them to work!

    - Next weekend we take an extended weekend (fri-Sun) to El Cabino, and then the following week we are up there from Fri night to Tuesday. Good times, good times...

    - I got a semi-dirty joke forwarded via email (well, more silly than dirty) from one of my priest buddies again. Which, of course, makes the joke even funnier because of the irony of who sent it.

    I bow down and worship you, oh domestic goddess. I had to do something similar for Hannah's class and ended up burning popcorn. Worst cook ever.
