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

    Knots

    My stomach is in knots over this election. I keep promising myself to turn off the tv, but I keep clicking on MSNBC and CNN incessantly.

    I barely slept last night. Now I am jittery from too much coffee, and still have to trek downtown to the big Obama rally in Grant Park (I am one of the lucky ticketholders to the event.)

    I was planning on a Starbucks run before the train ride, but now I think might be mroe tempted by a cocktail prior to the trek...

    I am right there with you having knots in my stomach too - so much riding on all of this. You know I never have asked you who you were voting for because I was raised to believe that it is not something that is discussed. I am not sure why but there was a part of my that thought you might be Respublican....sorry about that! Glad I was wrong!
