The #5 story of my 2021 marks the end of an era. It also highlights my new job, and that awesome Friendsgiving. In the summer, my previous employer bought its competition. That’s like McDonald’s buying Burger King or Wendy’s. Pepsi buying Coke. Lowe’s buying Home Depot. What it meant was changes were coming. Nothing bigContinue reading “Top Ten of 2021-#5- End of an Era”

I took advantage of my day (or night) off to do some Christmas shopping. I could have stayed local and shopped at Westmoreland Mall but decided to head out to the other side of Pittsburgh and shop in Robinson. I braved the traffic on the Parkway (and there was a lot of it… Squirrel HillContinue reading “My Christmas Shopping Adventure 2021”

Last week we talked about what we want for Christmas and Mom brought up the idea of what kind of gift cards I would like for Christmas.

Spring continues in the #7 event of 2021 as Katie and Matt buy a house. Katie and Annabelle were living in our Grandma’s old house for the last year and a half after I moved back home in the Fall of 2019. It wasn’t going to be a permanent fix and eventually they wanted toContinue reading “Top Ten of 2021–#7–Changes”

In this week’s look back at 2021, we highlight the #8 and #7 event of the year. That would be the crazy Spring I had to endure. It all began at the end of March. I finally addressed the elephant in the room after so many years and made the decision to visit a dermatologistContinue reading “Top Ten of 2021–#8–Going to the Hospital 🏥”

I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet, since I didn’t work much in November. But I recently took a job at Giant Eagle and should get my first full paycheck next week. I’ll make plans to shop later next week. Not sure where I’ll go yet. It all depends on my work schedule. I’d loveContinue reading “My Christmas Shopping Plans”

Last night was my first night working for Giant Eagle. Nervous about how it would go, last night/early this morning felt like nothing at all. In fact I think I picked up where I left off. Before I talk about my first night on the job, let me enlighten you all with a little backstoryContinue reading “My First Night at Giant Eagle”

The Top Ten of 2021 continues with #9. We move on once again in the Spirit of Toastmasters and talk about last summer’s DTM gala at Westmoreland County Community College.
