Last night’s festivities at the Trendy Bunny were as good as advertised. Lots of goodies, lots of deals, and a whole lot of swag. I arrived around just before 6pm. I was going to come early because I thought there’d be a line like there was for the grand opening, but I decided to eatContinue reading “A Very Trendy Night”

This blog is like, so Trendy; and for good reason too. Happy birthday to this cute little spot on downtown Greensburg and hats off to Alisha, Jen, and Lacey and Team Trendy for one year in business. The shop opened one year ago this evening to a full crowd, and then closed a week laterContinue reading “A Very Trendy 🐰 March 🧁🐣”

Last week at the Area 14 Table Topics and International Speech contest, the question for the Table Topics contest was: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? I’m going to start posting a travel blog once a month, and this was the perfect way to get the word out. ForContinue reading “Nashville Sound”

I went and did it. I treated myself. After work on Friday morning, I drove up to Tanger Outlets and got some great deals. After lunch, I shopped at Bath and Body Works and bought some hand lotion and little pocketbacs and cute little seashell holders. Then it was off to Old Navy to spendContinue reading “Treat Yourself”

Well, February has come to an end and March has begun. Let’s take a moment to review, shall we. It was a snowy month and a cold one at that, until last week. It was a month of area contests in Toastmasters for me. But it was also a month to take a step backContinue reading “Goodbye February 💕 , Hello March 🍀”

Today’s shopping trip to Tanger outlets was like a three course meal. I started with the appetizer, Bath and Body Works. They had a great deal on their new tropical 🌴 line. But two get one free (or buy 3 get 3 free). I bought some hand lotions. I have one for every weekday now.Continue reading “Three Course Meal”

Another great area contest took place on my 2021 District 13 Area Contest tour. The Area 13 International Speech and Table Topics contest was held virtually last night. I attended the contest last year when it was held at the Cranberry Township Municipal Building. Tom Nylec of Westinghouse won the International Speech contest with hisContinue reading “How Has Toastmasters Helped You Connect With Others?”

Last year after I got my new TV as a Christmas present, and we got the Roku hooked up, I began to look for shows to start binging on Netflix and Hulu. Surprisingly I decided on Gilmore Girls. I grew to love the series and even took in the Year in the Life revival. ThatContinue reading “I Stream TV Shows Like a Gilmore Girl.”

It’s a season I live for. It’s contest season. It’s my season. My season fell short last year due to COVID-19, ending at the area level. I had been looking forward to the Division contests, and they ended up being cancelled due to the pandemic. Same with the Spring conference. Pretty soon, all Toastmaster clubsContinue reading “My Season”

We heard three great speeches at the Area 4 Contest. Topics ranged from Rick Hays’ speech about his life and family (his Dad was a lawyer for U.S. Steel) to Jack Burt’s speech on how he found “A New View” on a certain class of people. Viba Ranganathan of the Pittsburgh Toastmasters 144 gave theContinue reading “Good Excuse”
