I park like a WHAT???? - Janelle

Christmas is fast approaching, which means school is almost done and shopping malls are nearly impossible to navigate through. Especially during the hectic holidays, I try to be extra cheerful, however today a stranger tested my good favour! 

In a rush to make it to my 8am Geography exam....yes, I said EIGHT IN THE MORNING... I squeezed in between two very improperly parked cars. I figured they were the idiots who didn't know how to park between the lines, so I would just park tightly WITHIN the lines. After the exam, I rushed to the parking lot and drove off to get downtown for another meeting. Low and behold, I notice a ticket on my windshield. I thought "Where in the world could I have got a ticket, and on my passenger window to boot?" Thankfully, no ticket. Instead I got an iparklikeanass warning. This 'Hey Donkey' warning was because that jerk didn't park properly in the first place! I will concede that it was a tight fit - but do not point fingers when you yourself are at fault sir! I was fuming, and I regret not taking a picture to prove my case. Thanks lowly stranger for passing on the christmas spirit. I think we all know who the real donkey is here...

Rant aside, and on a much lighter note, 

here are some photos from Calgary Zoolights! Enjoy!

 

 Ice sculptures made right in front of our eyes!

 Here are some GREAT christmas light displays on youtube - enjoy! And remember, SMILE and you may end up making a strangers day... Frown and you may turn their day upside down :(

I would also like to thank the Arthritis Society - Alberta and Northwest Territories. I received a wonderful 2012 calendar for being a volunteer. Without volunteers, organizations like the Arthritis Society wouldn't be able to reach as many people as they do now, so thank you to all Volunteers! You make our world a better place.
