Today I am thankful for birthday parties, which is a good thing because they can be a snootful of work. Sometimes when we’re gearing up for a party I start wishing it was just over. I keep thinking that there’s just too much work and there’ll be too many people and I just don’t feel [...]

Today I made a superhero for medical terminology class. We’re supposed to make up twelve medical terms, using real medical term parts, and draw a cartoon character who has all of those conditions.
So I drew up Epiguy who has exacidoptysis (spitting out acid) and anamyomegaly (excessive enlargement of the muscles) and other like conditions. After [...]

If you take the definition of humility as looking at yourself honestly (neither more highly or lowly than you ought to), this post is not nearly as arrogant as it might sound. I just thought I’d clear that up at the beginning.
I realized today that I am an intelligent person. Hey, stop laughing. Yes, you, [...]

Erie Vignettes Part 3 or Dragon Eggs!!! (Gabrielle)

Raking (Gabrielle)

The boys and I raked today. The day was a cliché of a gorgeous spring day- the sun was warm, the sky was blue, a light breeze brushed against my skin. I started raking out front where the leaves had blown against the porch and piled up between the big rocks in front of our [...]

Like Manna (Gabrielle)

You know that saying “What’s slop for the treasure is food for the garbage”? Oh wait, maybe it’s “One man’s goose is another man’s gander”. Well, anyway, there’s a saying that’s all about that. I like that saying. It keeps me expectant for good things.
So today I got hit in the back with a rotting [...]
