If 2021 has taught me anything so far, number one is that health is important. Who knows where I’d be or let alone even be here if not for scheduling that doctor’s appointment. Things are a lot better now for me after that health scare. Number two is that people’s opinions don’t matter. This hasContinue reading “I Shattered the Gloss Ceiling”

Today I worked in McCandless and since I was close, I made plans to visit The Block at Northway afterwards. I would check out ULTA since Sara and I are going to shop there in the Fall and make a Target run to buy some makeup. Those experiences I’ll talk about in the following blog.Continue reading “Stylish 👢 and Hungry 🍔 #6–Wahlburgers”

Can you imagine if District 13 covered the whole state of Pennsylvania in this day and age? You would have to delegate responsibility to other Toastmasters and District Leaders, and eventually you have to split the Commonweath up (kind of like what they did with North Carolina (District 37 and District 117). In 1943, theContinue reading “The Keystone District”

This back to school blog is brought to you by Kohl’s, JCPenney, and Giant Eagle (just kidding but I did find some great deals in the circulars that I wanted to share in today’s post.

In December, I went out to dinner with my friends from Ligonier. While sitting down and eating our meal and hanging out, Sara and I caught up (she introduced me to Rob since this was our first time meeting up) and we talked about our favorite shows and fashion. I even got suggestions on whatContinue reading “Jane the Blog”

Recently, my little sister/fashion buddy Sara and I agreed to move our shopping trip to ULTA back to the Fall. We attributed the move to our busy schedules (work for me is busy right plus Sara had to work that day too and was understanding). We’ll likely shop at the same location we agreed onContinue reading “A Cosmetic 💄 Change”

Last night we held our first Greensburg Toastmasters hybrid meeting. It didn’t go off without a hitch. We had our struggles at the beginning, trying to get the virtual crowd logged into Zoom. The Courthouse’s public WiFi wasn’t cooperating with us. We started 15 minutes late and we had two excellent speakers. Our table topicsContinue reading “The First District 13 Conference Ever”

I got some great news late last week from our club President Jim Teague that starting this Wednesday we would have in person meetings at the courthouse again. This will be a hybrid meeting coming up Wednesday night, so people will still be able to attend remotely, but hopefully we can get people to showContinue reading “The Evolution of SPEECHCRAFT”

Time for the first of three Stylish and Hungry trips to Murrysville. These aren’t new to me because I’ve had dinner (or my birthday lunch) here with Mr. Clougherty. Today’s S&H segment takes me to North Park Lounge. Next month will be Moe’s and then September takes me to Burgatory. I met up with Alvin,Continue reading “Stylish and Hungry #5: North Park Lounge”
