New Chapter in the book of life.....

The past four years have been an interesting chapter of my book of life... I have learnt to be a strong independent woman. I became a mother, a daughter who lost her father and loss of many other people in ones life, a divorcee, a motorcycle tattooed mama.   I have made some amazing friendships and have lost some as well..

Soon thou, life is about to make another huge change for me, for the better, and I can't wait to see where it's going to take me.... I'm excited

Those that are close to me know already ..... and soon I will spill the beans to the rest of you...

AFC - new experience

I had the opportunity to be at ringside at an AFC event.
I have always seen events like this on TV, and didn't think to much of it.. yes a bunch of grown men grunting and beating the crap out of each other like kids did after school...

That being said... I have a whole new respect for the sport and it's competitors. What I witnessed threw the lens was amazing drama as well as the best sportsmanship I have ever seen.  After these men beat the crap out of each other, after every fight they would either help each other up, and make sure the opponent was ok. Hugs were given, and thanks for a good fight. Talk of "hey you got me good there" or " are you ok", made me understand why these guys do this.  Yes you want to get your opponent to "tap out", but in the end it's a bunch of grown men having a good time, and enjoying what they like to do...

I do hope I get invited back to take more pictures, I have so much more to learn about this sport, and really would love to be able to capture more then just strength  and ability but also more of the essence of this sport.

Keen shoes

Yes we graphic girls are starting to think alike now.. we both wore our Keen shoes to work..
Myself I own three pairs. LOVE LOVE these shoes! They are so comfortable, and the bonus is NO stubbing of big toes when walking into something!!!!!!! Just saying

Fan Page

Well I have entered more into the Facebook era, and created a Fan page.
So come on over and "like" me

I hope to be posting more pics of projects as well as some give aways, once the numbers start to climb!

Halloween

Yesterday was Halloween and I had my little one with me this year. We were supposed to go to the Mall then trick or treat around the neighbourhood, but she was so exhausted from the daycare and they're halloween party, that we both decided that a good cuddle time on the couch, have a warm meal, then head out.
We managed to do about a block, and my little one had a full bucket and was happily finished for the evening.  She did most of the walking and I was so proud of her at how polite she was to everyone!!! She even told one lady to have a good sleep! It was so sweet...

In the end Adele was very content with her halloween treasure trove, and we now have treats to last for many months to come!

BTW if your wondering what my daughter was for halloween, good question, she changed her mind a few times, and went from Batgirl, to zombie girl, to combat girl and in the end she decided that being all three was cool!

Weekend with Mini Me....

I'm very excited, this is my weekend with my baby girl, and I have so many arts and craft ideas to do with her. I'm hoping to take her swimming, my little one is becoming a fish, sigh just like her mom used to be.
If the weather keeps like it is right now.. I'm thinking a trip to the butterfly gardens might be in order, or the aquarium!
Tonight Adele and I are going to cuddle and watch a movie "Nanny McPhee".  I'm pretty excited to watch it with her. She loves the second one, and Don and I were able to find the first one at Future Shop for $5!!!!!
So many adventures to be had this weekend.. maybe we might go explore rain puddles!

feeling naked.....

ugh I left my phone at home.... I never leave it at home.. I'm feeling soooo naked without it!
by the time I realised I had left it at home, there was no way I could  turn around..
I have a blackberry bold.. LOVE LOVE my blackberry!!!

Blackberry = RIM = Canadian which in turns = good for the Canadian economie.
It's one of my reasons why I am not an iphone, or samsung user.

I truly believe in supporting Canadian goods if I can.

I miss you my blackberry! I hope your nice and cozy on the living room table!
