How much can change in just ONE year

It was a year ago this week that this happened http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.com/2009/10/good-morning-blogalicious-buddies-i.html
Although it just seemed like something new, going to an event in Toronto with people I had never met before, who knew it was about to spur a string of events that would change my life?

I love the city I live in. I try to show off all it has to offer, but when I expanded my group of friend to a wonderful network of women from all over Ontario it changed me. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't unhappy with my life. It just became better than it already was. I was always social so meeting new people was never an issue to me. The difference was I met SUPPORTIVE people, something that was quite a rarity in my life (I have a few here in KW & if you're reading this post, count yourself as one of them). I went from cheering on others to being cheered on myself. Instead of being known as "easily excitable Lisa" , things in my life were beginning to excite others as well. I went from being known as the Pizza Girl to the Tiara Girl (a change I welcomed whole-heartily).
In early 2010 I thought it would all break apart. Things were not well for me in a job I had spent more that 20 years at. After all the time I had given to them, I was told that sales were more important than my safety & the safety of my friends who worked with me. The sadness & hurt from that statement stuck with me, and it was these wonderful women who cheered me up (& of course the people in KW who actually did care about my safety-those people get my undying gratitude & friendship. I can never speak how much their friendship means to me, so I write it instead). Spring came & I was embarking a new chapter. I had changed Full Time jobs, and the Spring MeFest had arrived. Now our local event had all of these wonderful women from all over Ontario coming to support our show.

Since spring my life seems to be a whirlwind of events, wackiness & Tiaras (just the way I like it), and to think it all started basically one year ago with a "TweetUp".

Would You Date a STAYFREE Guy?

I loved the @OldSpice guy ads everyone was buzzing about a month or so ago.

I'm wondering if Stayfree thinks that these will bring them the same hype?

I admit it. I couldn't keep a straight face the whole time. While you're watching this ad try to count how many times you laughed out loud.

It is infectious



So in addtion you can watch





So what's your choice the Vacuumer, the Cook or the Toy Maker

Day Trips = Major Fun with Minor Expense

After getting some new(er) wheels I decided to pack a ton of fun into one week. Sometimes explanations are needed & sometimes it's just better to watch & learn.

Life on EZ STREET

Diane & I aka @Those2Girls on twitter were invited to bring our Tiaras & our pals to EZ STREET ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE in Cambridge.
It was really easy to get to. From KW just take 401 & get off at HWY 24. Head right on 24 (Hespler Rd). You'll see an A&W on the right & they are tucked in behind it

We played Lazer Runner a GAZILLION times. We blasted foam balls at each other in the Balladium. Tried not to crash in the Flight Simulator & found out just how bad my golf swing is in the Golf Simulator.

Jessica was so sweet to give us a tour & show us how to make the most of our EZ Street Experience!

We said we'd tell all of our pals what a great time we had, so she said have them come see for themselves & GET 35% OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right, just mention that you follow Those2Girls on Twitter & Facebook or that you're a member of the Stuff To Do With Your Kids in Kitchener-Waterloo Group & you get a 35% discount!

A few pics are below. I have more posted here http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=463816&id=760270480&ref=mf

Made it My Own

So as many of you know I change my hair whenever I can. In case you didn't you can see what I mean here

http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.com/2010/04/chameleon-that-is-me.html

So it was time again for a drastic change. I searched around Google Images under Celebrity Hairstyles & found this


Now I know that I don't look anything like (nor will I ever look anything like) Katie Holmes, but I liked it because it was different.
I knew it wouldn't be an exact copy, nor would I want it to be, as I don't ever want to look like anyone else. We consulted, coloured & cut & here I am

Herrles in a Tiara aka Meeting Tweeps!

As you know I love meeting tweeps! Yesterday I had a great Twitter convo with @HerrlesMarket . We talked Corn, Princess Bride, Best Friends & TIARAS! (don't all of those things relate?)

During the conversation I was mentioned it might be fun to shop for corn in my Tiara (because I wear it 24/7 apparently-ha!) . The idea was welcomed & it was a done deal!

I got to meet @HerrlesMarket aka Trevor in person & guess what... He's is as AWESOME as he is on Twitter (I love when Twitter peeps are genuine!)

My next trip will involve Diane & I in Tiaras reminicing about the 1st time we hung out (right there at Herrles 5yrs ago) & realized we are an awesome pair of pals!

& yes The corn as always, was DELISH

**By the way when you go, make sure to tell the staff that you saw this online & Trevor can prove his point to all the people working there ;)

Oh yeah & follow him on twitter too http://twitter.com/HerrlesMarket
