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

    The Candidate

    I think I mentioned once that my kiddo nominated "Annie for President"

    Annie is our very calm, cool, and collected Beagle. Here is her cirrculum vitae:

    Name: Annie the Beagle

    Age: Unknown; estimated to be about 7 years old

    Size: About 25 lbs.

    Education: School of hard knocks vis-a-vis McHenry County Animal Control/Shelter

    Critical Skills: Totally housebroken and is vocal about when she needs to go; "sit" "down" and "beg" on vocal command; excellent cuddling and nuzzling abilities; internal clock tells owners when it is time to pick up child from school or go to bed. Keen ability to sniff out WWMD's in one whiff (Wascally Wabbits in My Driveway).

    Likes: food, chasing rabbits and squirrels, belly rubs, more food, relaxing on the lawn on a warm day, sunshine, and dark quiet places to nap, and of course, people.

    Dislikes: rowdy, rambunctious dogs and puppies, rabbits and squirrels that get away, getting her nails trimmed.

    I find her to be quite "Presidential" looking...whaddaya think? :)

    aw! and she's a rescue!
    Annie for President.
    Bet there'd be better animal welfare regulations then.

    Works for me...she certainly couldn't do any worse than the two up for election this year! :)

    oh, I TOTALLY think that she would be a fantabulous president.

    Sweet dog!
    Also, she probably doesn't have a double agenda, like controlling shares in a dog food company. She gets my honorary SA vote...

    Aww.. She's adorable.
    She looks like she knows what this country needs.

    Go Annie
