It's Finally Here

Today had  a lot of highs and lows. I was really down in the dumps because Oprah had her last show yesterday. I mean 25 years is a long time. I hope my blog can leave a legacy like that. The thing is, it's not even Oprah that I will miss-it's Gayle and Nate Berkus. Those two are totally inspiring. So, to lift my spirits a bit I decided to go viral and put my blog online. I know it is a risk, but I am hoping it is a safe and healthy risk, not an unsafe -sex -type of risk. But prepare yourself for a blogging rollercoaster-because Urban Woman is here to stay!


This time of year I start to think about the summer solstice. I usually decorate my house with a giant sun pinata filled with great treats. I have a bunch of my closest friends over for shooters before we break open the pinata with a golf club. Sometimes I ask people to bring their own blindfolds because of the epidemic of eyelash lice that has been going around, but if I really trust them I will let them use one of my hand died and bedazzled masks. Here are some of the things I've filled my pinata with in the past:

• Ikea coupons
• Baby teeth that fell out
• Ukrainian perogies
• wallet sized photos of me
• Salt and Pepper packets
• Gobstoppers
• Ecstasy tabs
• Gourmet dog biscuits
• Rose petals
• Frozen berries
• Previously viewed DVDs (usually anything starring Cameron Diaz is a hit)

I've also noted that "going green" is a big trend this year. I hope all of you urban women can contribute to helping our planet get greener by using extra fertilizer on your lawns and reusing your tin cans (for stuff like bacon grease and tea light votives).


Better get to bed-afterall I do need my beauty rest-blogging takes a lot of energy and after being on the computer I tend to get bloodshot eyes.


Yours in sisterhood,
