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”
A Cold Weekend Ahead!
Recently, a content creator I have followed over the years celebrated another year on YouTube. Jesse Ridgway (also known as McJuggernuggets) started his channel in December of 2006. I was a year out of college at the time and trying to decide what to do with my life. This 14 year old from New JerseyContinue reading “A Cold Weekend Ahead!”
My South Hills Christmas Shopping Trip!
2025 is drawing to a close, and that means it’ll soon be time for me to post my top ten from the past year. The best (and worst) from 2025 will be posted to Stylish on December 23. Some of the highlights (and lowlights) will include: Yesterday, I began my Christmas shopping and got aContinue reading “My South Hills Christmas Shopping Trip!”
Onward and Upward at 2025 Winter TLI!
On Wednesday night, I served as Table Topics Master at our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting. I didn’t answer any of the questions myself. However in this blog, I will answer one of them. My question and answer I had for it will be at the end of this blog. Today, I’m putting together my Christmas list.Continue reading “Onward and Upward at 2025 Winter TLI!”
Happy Thanksgiving at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
Tuesday night was my night off and also Laurel Highlands Toastmasters night. We were online which made sense due to the inclement weather. I found a new spot in the house to attend an online meeting as well. When we cleared the spare room out, the purpose was to make room for more seating. WithContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
