While my Cutie’s visit was just me yesterday, I still made the most of my Sunday afternoon. The snow didn’t keep me from going to downtown Greensburg, as it was mostly gone by the time I woke up. I wasn’t able to meet up with friends, but that meant the opportunity was there to brainstormContinue reading “Retail Therapy Coming Soon!”

Reflections of Summer at Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters!
On Thursday night, I attended the Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters club via Zoom. I came because I wanted to cheer on one of my good friends who was speaking about her Toastmasters journey so far. I met Dr. Liz and her husband last year at the Area Speech Contest that was being held in Johnstown. AsContinue reading “Reflections of Summer at Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters!”
De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Last night, I went back to Greensburg Toastmasters after having missed the prior meeting. This was due to doctor’s appointments and the need to rest up for work. We had two guests in attendance, one who’s been part of Toastmasters in the past. The second guest was new to Toastmasters. We had an amazing agendaContinue reading “De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
Reading Newsweek During My College Days!
I’m into the Morning Edition part of my NPR book now. The show debuted in 1979, and I’m at the part around the beginning of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Reading this book and familiarizing myself with the shows and personalities of NPR takes me back to my senior year of high school. Also, that summer beforeContinue reading “Reading Newsweek During My College Days!”
The Bags are Back!
For those of you rooting for me in my nontraditional fashion journey, the rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated again. But first, Tuesday’s weather brought with it a Spring preview. For me, it was a nice drive down to Connellsville for my first in person Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting since September. 55 degreesContinue reading “The Bags are Back!”
Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
It felt good to drive down to Connellsville on Tuesday night for my Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. It felt even better telling myself that I’m all in after a January slump. Whether or not I honor that remains to be seen. Meeting online is nice but it has its setbacks. I can’t tell you howContinue reading “Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
The February Thaw!
Today is Super Bowl Sunday! I’m not wanting New England to have more wins than Pittsburgh, so I’m rooting for the Seahawks. Seattle’s defense was top ranked in 2013 when they beat Denver, and they were back up there in this wild 2025 season. My best memory of the big game was that time thatContinue reading “The February Thaw!”
Last Blog of 2025!
On Tuesday, I blogged about some of the events that had the biggest impact on me in 2025. These ranged from Toastmasters events and clubs achieving success to work and my many visits to Cutie’s. But, one of the other things that made news was the anniversaries I’ve celebrated in my own personal life. 2025Continue reading “Last Blog of 2025!”
It’s a Wrap on Christmas Shopping!
It’s time to sit back and count down to Christmas. I’ve officially wrapped up shopping for the holiday, finishing up yesterday afternoon. It wasn’t hard to wrap the last few presents this morning. All I needed was some gift bags and some tissue paper. Those bags from previous Christmases sure come in handy! During theContinue reading “It’s a Wrap on Christmas Shopping!”
After the Storm
The snow on the ground is melting as the sun shines on this cold mid-December day. Tuesday was nice compared to the cold, snowy weekend we just had. Pittsburgh received seven inches of snow from Saturday’s storm. After the snow ended, we dealt with two days of bitter cold temperatures. It wasn’t even worth goingContinue reading “After the Storm”
