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

    Pseudo-crushes

    Do you know what I hate about Hollywood? Well besides that AWFUL overused convention of sticking a lip-synch or awkward dance scene in nearly EVERY movie deemed a "comedy" or "heartwarming," I hate that fact that sometimes writers, actors and directors collaborate to create characters that you fall in love with - only to realize that the people who "make" the character are pretty dull and dorky.

    I can list SEVERAL wonderful characters on whom I've had a crush...and yet the actor himself does NOTHING for me.

    Is it me, or is that a huge waste of time and emotional energy?

    Oh, I KNOW! Nothing spoils a good crush like seeing the object-of-affection actor on some talk show. Yep, now that I think of it, I could name several too.

    I think you have it backwards. It's not the character, it's the actress. No matter how many roles she plays, Angelina Jolie will always be hot. :)

    Naw it's not a waste...it is fantasy my dear. Something that us literal types like myself have a hard time with. PRETEND he is real and have a crush on him...it's summer, time for fun after all.
