Be Kind Winnipeg...


its been one week since Elemental Motion Media
and SkyCandy Inc. launched our campaign::

www.bekindwinnipeg.com

we've had our messages on the digital sign outside the
Winnipeg Winter Club

everyday we post a new challenge of kindness
they look like this!



but we're still hoping to get more people interested
as well as share their stories of kindness
over the holiday season

listen, the world can be a pretty scary place.
just watch the news or read a headline
especially in recent months.

this is something that you can do to make the world
around you a better place
the challenges aren't hard, 
but they can truly make a difference to the people around you
(or people you don't even know)

so put a smile on your face,
say good morning to a stranger
and keep a good feeling in your heart

i've thought to myself many times that i need to make a 'to do' list for my life.
i have so many ideas, so many hopes, so many wishes and so many dreams,
that i often get lost thinking about it all - where to begin?
one idea/hope/wish/dream that is never forgotten is...

i have wanted to see this christmas tree since i was a little girl.
tomorrow, on december 3, 2008, it will be lit at rockefeller centre.
one day i'll be there for that.
tomorrow i'll watch from my living room.

this is sad
this is happy
i'm really liking this
i'm not liking this
i'm getting way too cold, i'm not sure why i live here.

night night

ooooh baaab...

decided to head down to the states for a little getaway
with the fam and the misses

of course, ally could only get a half day off work, so we missed
the employee trampling deals!

the miss shows her patriotism through beverage choice



we chose the wrong line. effin left.



we got there just in time to go to garnet's favorite restaurant



c'mon in and help yourself to a handful of peanuts



and then throw the refuse on the ground!



ally taking part in the american fun
(apparently they used to do this at Montanas,
for shame)



hayley and nadine are minors,
no delicious caesars for them!



for ashley
"the animal"



a white drive to fargo,
everything was frosty!



i considered buying this vase that looked like a vagina
(*not really)



i like this blanket,
i wore it like polar bear pelt



ally takes forever to change



downtown fargo for anitques and
vintage collectables


some ladies stopped and asked if we wanted them to take our picture,
at least i think thats what they said,
i couldn't understand the accent

ooooooh, i laaave yer coooooaaaaat!




ally starting a new trend



check out that duck,
he's chillin


the owl isn't scared of the pistols


jingle bell rock
(we spent approx 3 hours in target)


no thank you!!


what a fool...



came home to help mom decorate the tree and basement
plus wrapped many of my presents...
i am christmas keen this year





carrie underwood concert tonight
getting back into the server groove not as easy as i thought
almost fell asleep watching water for KD boiling
time for sleep

sweet dreams all
