I don’t know about any of you reading this, but I thought that little touch of snow was a welcome sight Wednesday morning. As I left work, I was faced with the task of cleaning off my car and scraping some of the ice that had frozen to my windshield. I’ve also had to scrapeContinue reading “Cheetah 🐆 Prints, Family Picnics, and Autumn 🍂 Leaves”

I‘m feeling much better than I did last week as my cold and cough have gone away. Despite feeling better I stayed inside due to the inclement weather all weekend. That gave me an opportunity to watch football. Not much else I could do even I wanted to. I don’t need to shop for anythingContinue reading “Anniversaries, Thanksgiving Plans, and Peppermint Season!”

Last weekend was an absolute disaster. I was going through the misery of being sick, having come down with a cold and feeling congested. This began on Friday and ran through the early part of the week before I got better around Wednesday.

It’s great getting back to what I love doing after being sick most of the week. I fought a cold all week and still went to work without calling off. That’s what I call dedication. I still attended my Toastmasters meeting Tuesday night and had dinner last night with Mr. Clougherty. Tonight, we’ll begin withContinue reading “A Look Back and an End of Season Dinner”

Next book in the series for me will be Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which I will begin tonight. My goal is toContinue reading “My Reading Journey”

This weekend’s Fall Symposium is in the books. Was it a good one? I would say so. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t sure I was going to attend until the week before. I didn’t want to ask off having a busy weekend just before that. But the Giant Eagle scheduling gods were smilingContinue reading “2023 District 13 Fall Symposium”

Brace yourself, end of an era blogs are coming. Well, not quite. This was around the time two years ago when my time at WIS was coming to an end so you’ll be reading a few posts on that once again. However five years ago, another era ended for me while another would begin theContinue reading “End of an Era”

Fall Cleaning I used the last hours of my Giant Eagle vacation to put away my summer wardrobe and get rid of any clothes that I was giving to Goodwill. All in all I ended up giving five bags of clothes to Goodwill. I kept a few pairs of shorts and some summery shirts aroundContinue reading “Stylish Fall Potpurri Blog”

Part I: Annabelle’s Hogwarts Birthday On Saturday, Annabelle turned 11 years old (at approximately 4:56 AM). She wanted a party with a Harry Potter theme as she was really into the book series. Right now, she’s reading the third book, The Prisoner of Azkaban. Recently, I got back into the series myself and I’m notContinue reading “Fall Party Weekend”
