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

    Nailed it!

    Like most Phillies Phans, I was watching the 2nd half of the game last night in anxious anticipation. *Nervous* is not quite the word for it.

    Their defensive play last night was absolutely spot-on.

    When Brad Lidge (closing pitcher) got the final out with a strike, I jumped up and started SCREAMING. My dogs were so upset, they started barking - either that, or they were joining me in vocal celebration!

    If none of you ladies bothered to watch, you missed some fine eye candy on this years Philadelphia Lineup. Not only are these players handsome, they have soap-opera-esque, romatic hero names! Some of my favorites include: Pat Burrell, Chase Utley, Jayson Werth, and Cole Hamels. I could not find still photos that do these gents any justice, but no matter.

    The Philadelphia fans ramped up their enthusiasm and energy level last night to make up for that dour evening in the rain, and it was electrifying. Congrats, 2008 World Champions!

    Oh, poor AbbyNormal, to have missed out on Cole, who's even dreamier than you'd think from his name!
    Meanwhile, at least you only upset your dogs. My husband yelled so loud our five year old cried!

    I don't watch baseball but you've just made me wish I had.

    I don't really follow baseball, but I'm glad the Phillies won.

    "Cole Hamels"? The name alone gets me all tingly!
