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

    mail order

    Why on earth would I think that I could buy jeans - JEANS! - online/via catalog? My size has changed, and even with taking measurements, jeans are one of those things that has to be TRIED ON.

    Anyway, in case things do move forward in terms of any surgeries, I am sticking with comfy-but-decent-looking knit pants (velour, cotton, fleece, etc) until I either happen upon some miracle jeans that fit and flatter at the right price, or until I lose weight and fit into some oldies I have stored in my attic.

    The jeans I'm wearing now are too big, but the next size down in my closet is too small. I refuse to go buy anything. And I KNOW mail order is OUT of the QUESTION! I have an extra large hiney!!!

    I've come to HATE jean shopping. Really. I swear there is absolutely NO standardization to women's jeans sizes! Mail order? NEVER!
