About Me

The World According to Sylvia Garza is a place for me to write about whatever I am thinking about. Weather it’s TV show or jokes. Fun or serious. Useful or not. It’s just a place where I can put my two cents in and see what happens.

Hope you find it entertaining.

Sylvia

  1. You’re always entertaining! My days would definitely be different (read: boring, blah, quiet) without having you in the office daily. I’m glad that we had a chance to meet and work together!

  2. A friend forwarded “Life is too short to wake up with regrets” to me and I clicked on your “about me” page. I’m in the midst of moving, so I’ll be back to read more later.

    Have a great day!

    ciao!

  10. Sylvia, I came by today because I was given a Sunshine Award and I have to, in return give the same reward to twelve other bloggers. Of course I have chosen yours. I’m not going to make you follow the rules of finding twelve other bloggers to give it to, however, if you want to you can.

    You can pick up your award at http://morningerection.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/sunshine-blog-award.jpg?w=175&h=170&h=170. Thanks for your friendship!

  11. Hi, nice to meet you !

  12. Hello Sylvia. Someone referred your blog to me so I could read your “1955 Good Housewife” post – after I wrote my post this week called “Stupid Rules.” What a hoot! Love your blog!

    • I tell you what, all I did was post something that was already written and I have gotten so many comments on that post. I love your rules. They were pretty funny and true!

  13. Hi there,

    To find your blog is a pleasure I have been indulging myself with. I have deep respect for you. Keep penning and keep inspiring, I am sure lots of readers have found your posts equally entertaining and enlightening!

  15. Hey Sylvia! This is “Chip” from Samsung Health – I hope you don’t mind, but being retired with extra time and just out of curiosity, I decided to Google search your profile name after my lunch today. Wow! You should really consider posting your before/after picture and story to the community as an inspiration for others, That is amazing what you’ve done – congratulations! My wife and I are both avid users of the app since retirement and I’ve found the “challenges” to be great motivation to keep moving. Also, great blog you have here. I’m going to read some more before my afternoon nap. Cheers ’til next challenge!

    • Hello and welcome to my life. I’ve had a blog for about 12 years now. I post anything and everything that pops in my mind. It’s been a fun way of keeping track of things done. I like the app too… keeps me moving and challenges me in a fun way. And I’ve meet some great people, like you. In open to chat, more than 40 characters, if you want to. We can text each other to keep us motivated. Just let me know.

      • Sounds good – I’ll put your # in my contacts and text you when the inspiration hits me!

  16. Telephone # 2105277610. Nice to share inspiration with others.
