Rags to Riches: Part 2
Thanks for reading my first Saturday Story: Rags to Riches. The below is Part 2; if you haven’t read Part 1, please find it here.

Part 2:
She was dressed in a sharp, midnight blue suit and black suede heels (an ensemble that probably cost more than what I used to spend on rent for many months combined). “Congratulations, Ms. Bruno,” the real estate agent said as she smiled, handing me my keys.
“Thank you, Ms. Pierce,” I said, accepting the keys.
I couldn’t believe that this was my life. I stood back to take it all in; to admire my new… house? No. Not a house. It’s a mansion. A sprawling estate on perfectly manicured grounds that seemed to go for miles. Life really can change in an instant, I mused.
Blogging Experiment, Part 2: The Saturday Story
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
In my post honouring the late Dr. Stephen Hawking titled, “The Unlimited Spirit,” I chronicled my own mobility issues, and pledged that I would include more of my own thoughts, opinions and experiences in my future blog posts (The Blogging Experiment, Part 1: Blogging Honestly). I promised to add Part 2 of my Blogging Experiment this weekend, so I give you:

#SuperBowl #ThisIsUs
Though this is only my fourth blog post on It’s A Go!, I realize that the last two posts were a bit long (roughly 650 words each). I will keep this one short…
#SuperBowl
It must be surreal to be in Philly tonight! The Philadelphia Eagles won their FIRST Super Bowl title! This is unfortunate for all New England Patriots fans, but it is especially unfortunate for Eddy Ferrini. (Don’t worry about Eddy Ferrini, though. He may have had the confidence to get a tattoo declaring his team’s victory of Super Bowl LII days before the big game, but he always had a backup plan– he’s confident that his team will win the Super Bowl next year, so he’ll simply add another ‘I’ to his tattoo. Best of luck, Eddy!)
#GRAMMYs #Despacito #GrammysSoMale
“According to leading experts in the very scientific field of complaining about things, there is no pastime more popular than griping about all the instances where the Grammys screwed up and gave an award to the wrong person.” (Vulture.com)
Ha! Well, you can add me to the list of complainers in regards to last night’s Grammys.
Though I am not in the music industry, and I don’t decide which songs I purchase based upon the results of any award show, I must say that I am shocked that ‘Despacito’ did not win a Grammy last night. (It was nominated for Best Song of the Year, Best Record of the Year, and Best Performance by a Duo or Group.)
The outcry on social media suggests that I am one of many who were shocked by this outcome. (Check out these hashtags on Twitter: #Grammys, #Despacito.)
