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

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

#EllenToKW aka EPIC CHICKEN THURSDAY

Hi Everyone!
As you know I'm actively involved in the effort to bring #EllenToKW
The background story is here http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.com/2010/05/ellentokw.html

So in order to get Ellen's attention Team #TiaraARMY (Diane, Linda, Beth & myself) went on a CHICKEN DANCE mission. It involved Facebook, Twitter & You Tube. Then the local radio, tv & newspaper got on board as well.

Now we just need to make sure the day's events reach Ellen DeGeneres.

Want to see what a fun day we had? Take a look



Now it wasn't all Traditional Chicken Dancing see what else happened




& to get an overall feel of what took place that day




It was so much fun! We are so glad the community came to support us! It hasn't been easy, like all things there's been "NAY" sayers so I keep my #TiaraARMY pals motivated with our new theme




Here's a quick vid of Linda's Thank-yous

#EllenToKW

Here in Kitchener Waterloo we're lucky enough to have Stephen Hawking coming to visit next month & The Queen is here the month after. So why is Kitchener Waterloo so eager to have Ellen DeGeneres arrive for Oktoberfest? Well just watch this (& see what we're working on below the video)





This spawned a Facebook group which hopes Ellen DeGeneres will come & be the Parade Marshall for the next KW Oktoberfest Parade (Thanksgiving Day in Canada).
Look at how many fans this page has already! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ellen-Degeneres-for-Parade-Marshall-of-2010-K-W-Oktoberfest-Parade/121211941239514?ref=ts
I was able to message Administrator of the page we hope to collaborate efforts to make this happen!

Now the question is How Do We Get Her Attention?

You take it one step further & take it to TWITTER!

For those not on Twitter here's my SUPER EASY guide to Twitter http://thesunshineisin.blogspot.com/2009/11/twitter-for-pals-not-yet-on-twitter.html

Now to make sure we're all tweeting about the same thing make sure all of your posts have the #EllenToKW post in them
Here's mine from today

We're on a mission here in #Kitchener #Waterloo to get #EllenToKW who's going to RT 4 me?

The point of the hashtag it to make it searchable. If you click the hashtag in a tweet, all the other tweets with it will show up
***on the Twitter page you can put click it the #EllenToKW & then after they show up hit Save this search & then you can just click it on your side bar after that***

***on Tweetdeck a new column will show up & it will just keep listing tweets with that hashtag***

Once it catches on it will become a trending topic & then it basically becomes viral on twitter

So make sure you're following http://twitter.com/those2girls & get tweeting #EllenToKW
Want us to follow back? Just leave your twitter name in the comments section.

Chameleon that is me

If you saw me Friday I looked like this (pic from last month but still same look)



On Saturday I looked like this (shorty on the left)




Would you recognize me?

Earth Hour Fail

I finished up Earth Hour & this time around it was a bust!
Yes I turned off the hardrive, monitor, printer, tv, stereo etc.

So I almost complied.

You see my son has been home for the last few "lights out" events. We've played cards or made up a story in the past, but this time around he's at his Dad's. Actually I lied. He's with his Dad at the Billy Talent Concert (it's official my 10 yr old is now cooler than me).

Now what?

If I would have been smart I could have brought a quart of Ice Cream home & most likely be occupied with that for the better part of the hour, but like they say hindsight is 20/20.

So instead I turned on my little florescent tube in my kitchen & did the dishes. I read on twitter today that florescent bulbs emit less carbon gases than candles, so that must be true right?

So there's my confession. Am I an Earth Hour Fail?
