TOGETHER WITH
Well, folks, here we are again: Monday, September 8th, staring at us like the laundry pile we promised to deal with last week.
But hey, it's a fresh start! The sun's up, the coffee's brewing and there’s still a solid 24 hours to tell ourselves, "I'll start that project tomorrow." Pro tip: if you wear headphones while you work today, no one can tell you're actually listening to a podcast about how to get your life together.
So, let’s tackle this Monday with all the enthusiasm of a kid who packed lunch but will 100% trade it for someone else’s snack by noon.
In today’s South Side Scoop:
🕺 Dancing with the Johnson County Stars – Get your tickets for this weekend's biggest fundraiser!
📚 Meet a Bestselling Author – Free book for the first 100 attendees!
🥃 Bourbon Tasting Event – Celebrate National Bourbon Heritage Month in style!
Let’s get to it!
