Yer Cheatin' Heart

I am getting SO sick of hearing about how all these celebrity men are cheating on their wives. It's absolutely disgusting. Obviously, they take for granted the goodness that they have...I realize I do not live their lives and see what it's like in their living rooms and kitchens from day to day, but come on! Tiger had a rumoured EIGHTEEN women and Jesse James is alleged to have 3.

So I took to my design programs and pumped out some anti-cheating greeting cards; attached you see here is one of the many I've done. Personally I love it and not "just cause it's my design" but because it's cute and funny and to the point. That's the kind of sense of humour I have.

If ever this post finds Elin and Sandra, ladies, stay strong...kids or no kids, you deserve better. Having a stupid drunk fling in Vegas is one thing (still unacceptable) but it's the secrecy and behind-your-back coupled with the length of time that makes this horrifying.
How could you ever trust him again? Just sayin'...

FRONT: I'm sorry your husband cheated on you.
INSIDE: If I were you, I'd get the golf clubs ready. xoxo

Social Life Update

OK.
I'm not saying I am the most popular person on the face of the earth, but in the last few months my social life has prit'damn'near exploded! I've had so much going on and I'm so grateful for these opportunities to not only just get out of the house, but to network, to show my kids that there is more to the world than our living room, and of course, to take pictures :D











^^ my actual calendar


I've gone up north (ok, well Newmarket...which is technically north of me) to see old friends, I finally had the opportunity to go to Covent Garden Market (finally! I know!), I've taken my daughter Z to an Art Fair, we went to see my sister's choreographed dance routine at Laurier last night and we are heading, in mere minutes, out the door to my good friends Tyler and Sarah's baby shower.

Then, there's another art show that's being thrown by my girlfriend from highschool, Tennille Will so I'm looking forward to that! And then there is an open house at Fanshawe that I am going to (and taking Z with so she can get an idea of what college life has to offer), after that is another baby shower, and then finally, on the 29th, Z and a couple of her friends are going to a teen Make-Up class, for fun! But since I'm the only one with a valid license, I get to play Taxi.

Oh gosh, plus I'm working on some new urbanLovely's, an expansion, and other yummies to tell you about so stay tuned, bookmark me, and we'll chat at ya later!


SO!
I will be posting another "No Story Just Pictures" blog soon enough to encompass the Everything That's Going On :)

The Re-Birth of Slick

I always knew that 2010 was going to be my year. 3 months into it, I've begun making important changes to urbanLove's "infrastructure".

I'm re-newing. Re-builidng. Re-birthing...ok that latter sounds kinda gross, but point is, there will be many changes being unveiled in the coming months. Hopefully weeks if I get my way ;)

Because I'm awesome, I will keep you posted.
But I can't wait for the next chapter to begin...so many more levels to me as an artist and another online venue, if you will, for urbanLove.....

vroom.....

No Story, Just Pics with Captions

Yeah, no I've been THAT busy lately that I had no other option but to just post-a-pic for this entry. And with more wonderfuls scheduled in my calendar for the next few weeks, my posts may not be very lengthly in words, but will tell a story of a thousand words from the photos :) Stay tuned for more...



My daughter not at all impressed I am taking her pic. It was either that, or she clean her room.
Mom wins.
























So, I decided to do a solo shoot in a local park and thought I was Superwoman who would be able to get back up the hill without getting stuck. Yeah I don't know much, lol. 
1/32 tank and 18 minutes later in between 1st and 2nd gear, I was out! 
Ha! Take that, un-plowed parking lot!
Mom wins again. MAN I'm on a roll!

















One of the handful of 3-cent shots that I got stuck in the snow for. Train bridges are quite majestic. So are deep tire tracks but we won't dwell on that.


























Oh how Rocky Mountain Chocolates is a God to my taste buds and even better for my ass! (I'm trying to gain weight here!)




















Me goofing off for the camera. I'm a ham. On sale for $5 a pound. WHAT?



















My 2.5 year old son enjoying the winterized park.















Family Day Bowling; although Nick and I are separated we do know the importance of being friends so the kids learn that separation does not mean war in the ranks. Very important.
Besides, it was my Mom and Dad who initially invited him along not me ;)





































So I'm single, and my sister is single (yes she's hotter than me by leaps and bounds and NO you may not get her number) and she thought that she would write me a lil' love note, complete with a bouquet of roses and some chocolate covered strawberries and left those gorgeous treats on my door step when I was out one evening.
Everyone should have a sister like mine. She really does rock. xoxo Love ya Kate!

















This is an amazing painting by my "sister" Paula Jolly. I say sister in quotations because her and Katy (see note above) have been BFF's before the term was even coined and during a time when the New Kids on the Block were just getting started.
And since she's been a part of my life for so long, I adopted her one day. 






















I have a sock fetish. 
Fuzzy pink socks, man. You wouldn't have been able to say no to them either, especially on sale for $1.


















Sock fetish continues......got these for a buck as well.




























Sit down, I have to tell you something....


























..and the heavens sprinkled my childhood memories with dust....
