Be Careful How You Start Your Day!

Saturday morning (well, afternoon), I woke up earlier than I wanted to. I was contemplating whether or not to go to the gym before the severe weather was set to arrive. Therefore, I picked up my phone and saw something political on Facebook.  While I agreed with what was posted, it wasn’t the way toContinue reading “Be Careful How You Start Your Day!”

#GoodNews coming to the Socials!

In 2020, when everything shut down due to the pandemic, I made it a habit to support local businesses in the area. I did this in person, and through Instagram and Facebook. Like everyone else, my way of life had been interrupted. I was getting used to things like social distancing and having to wearContinue reading “#GoodNews coming to the Socials!”

Blog 911: Taking Care of Yourself

March 30, 2021, started out like any normal day. I went to work (I was still at my old job and was working locally that morning). I would have a doctor’s appointment that afternoon as I was looking to get a referral for a dermatologist. Fun fact: It was my first trip to the doctorContinue reading “Blog 911: Taking Care of Yourself”

Looking Forward to the Season of Luck!

Before we look ahead to March, let’s take a quick look back at February. For starters, the month is ending warmer than it began. The last week of January saw snow and extreme cold. We challenged records by staying below freezing 18 days straight. Nowhere near 1977’s record cold though. We saw a warming trendContinue reading “Looking Forward to the Season of Luck!”

Farewell, Fab Five!

Well now, after eight years and ten seasons, the makeover show Queer Eye has wrapped up its run. The tenth and final season was released on Netflix on January 21.  The revival of the original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy began in 2018. Five “experts” were called to help a person make some changesContinue reading “Farewell, Fab Five!”

Retail Therapy Coming Soon!

While my Cutie’s visit was just me yesterday, I still made the most of my Sunday afternoon. The snow didn’t keep me from going to downtown Greensburg, as it was mostly gone by the time I woke up. I wasn’t able to meet up with friends, but that meant the opportunity was there to brainstormContinue reading “Retail Therapy Coming Soon!”

Reflections of Summer at Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters!

On Thursday night, I attended the Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters club via Zoom. I came because I wanted to cheer on one of my good friends who was speaking about her Toastmasters journey so far. I met Dr. Liz and her husband last year at the Area Speech Contest that was being held in Johnstown. AsContinue reading “Reflections of Summer at Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters!”

De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!

Last night, I went back to Greensburg Toastmasters after having missed the prior meeting. This was due to doctor’s appointments and the need to rest up for work. We had two guests in attendance, one who’s been part of Toastmasters in the past. The second guest was new to Toastmasters.  We had an amazing agendaContinue reading “De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!”

Reading Newsweek During My College Days!

I’m into the Morning Edition part of my NPR book now. The show debuted in 1979, and I’m at the part around the beginning of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Reading this book and familiarizing myself with the shows and personalities of NPR takes me back to my senior year of high school. Also, that summer beforeContinue reading “Reading Newsweek During My College Days!”
