October was an active month in the beginning and then it was quiet in the second half (due to sickness and the weather). November was quiet weatherwise (with some snow flurries at the beginning and end of the month) but for me it was active. We weren’t able to stick to our original Thanksgiving plansContinue reading “A Sunday Drive, an Amazing Friendsgiving, and the Gobblerito!!!”

How do you follow up a great weekend with your sister and her friends? You publish your 500th blog post, attend club officer training, and celebrate with a great dinner at Burgatory! Today’s Winter TLI was the first in person event I attended for that season since December 2019, just as this blog was beingContinue reading “A Talent Show and A Celebratory Burger”

I got the message about a Friendsgiving get-together a few weeks before and I was hoping to attend. The universe worked in my favor and I was able to work the night before Thanksgiving; thus, it helped open up Saturday night for me so I could attend. For the party, I bought a charcuterie boardContinue reading “My Fashionable Sister, The South Side, and Friendsgiving (MY 500th BLOG!!)”

After the turkey and the sides are all put away, and when the shoppers stand in line at 4am at Target, it’s time to decorate. The day after Thanksgiving for my family is traditionally the day we like to get the decorations out of the attic. We form an assembly line and get all theContinue reading “Christmas Decorating and a Picture Show”

November is almost over and I am nearing my milestone 500th blog post. It was a busy month with my store getting ready for Thanksgiving and the holidays. Plus, we thought about Benny at Children’s and visited him as well. The Christmas decorations are up, the tree is decorated, and it’s time to look aheadContinue reading “Christmas Shopping and Cookie Baking: A Look Ahead to December”

On this Thanksgiving holiday, there is a lot to be grateful for. Good health, another year under the sun, and getting full time at Giant Eagle. Come with me as I go down the list and find a dozen things that I’m thankful for in 2023. Also, don’t forget to look for my Top TenContinue reading “A Blog To Be Thankful For”

I am so relieved that this week has finally come to an end and that I am able to have a nice night off. It’s hard working retail during the holidays and Giant Eagle is no exception. Nothing like when I worked at WIS and always had time off at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Of courseContinue reading “A “Primanturkey” Sandwich, Christmas Decorations, and a Happy Anniversary!”

Falling sales and ongoing opioid related lawsuits have had a huge impact on drugstores. Camp Hill based pharmacy Rite Aid has been hit hard by this and recently closed nine stores in the Pittsburgh areas. For those who get their meds at one of the Rite Aids that closed, they must get them elsewhere now.Continue reading “A Shuttered Pharmacy, The Last Day, and My First Friendsgiving”

This is my second blog post in 12 hours! But I’m not going to go crazy and post from now until the end of the year. This one will be short and sweet (that’s debatable). We are ten days away from Thanksgiving and still don’t know what our plans are yet. If it’s likely we’llContinue reading “Last Year’s Thanksgiving and an upcoming Bloggiversary”
