So today I'm also thankful for book sales and the libraries that put them on. http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/11/06/in-all-things-4-part-2-gabrielle/ Today I am thankful for leftover oatmeal. Not just because it makes breakfast the next day so much simpler, but because it gives me a reason to feel creative and thrifty. So today I opened up two containers of oatmeal that were the leftovers from two different days. I put them ... http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/11/06/in-all-things-4-gabrielle/ Last night I was super tired. Wednesday Night Dinner can be a lot of work and often when it's over I'll be dead-tired and really wound up. Sometimes, like last night, my legs will be aching and my body will just be worn out, but I'll be too wound up ... http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/11/05/in-all-things-3-gabrielle/ 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) ... http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/11/04/crayons-and-superheroes-raquel/ Today I am thankful for bananas.

It's the third of November and I haven't started my traditional Thanksgiving lead-up thanksgiving. As always I must remind you all that this was my sister's fabulous idea. If I don't she'll call me up and yell at me. Today I am thankful for errands. For an excuse ... http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/11/03/in-all-things-1-gabrielle/ (There is a good chance that this will come out completely wrong and will somehow sound like heresy. I mean no disrespect and certainly no heresy so just bear with me.) I recently wrote my very first short story. According to standards I read on the Internet (insert snarky Internet comment ... http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/11/02/shadow-of-the-master-gabrielle/ I would have liked this to have been more pulled together, but if I don't get it up here I will lose track of it forever. That would be a horrible waste of a good idea so I'm just going to post what I have so far. It is in ... http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/11/02/my-resume-gabrielle/ I've been listening to lies this week. I listened even though I knew they were lies. And then I kept being surprised when I felt upset about it. So, Tuesday I went out shopping. It's my official errand day where I run around like a crazy person doing grocery shopping for ... http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/10/29/confession-gabrielle/ This title of this post isn't really true, but I'm really not sure I can make it sound interesting either. I'm posting because I have remembered why we have a category called 'Life, Children and Dishes', and why that category has more posts in it than any other category ... http://sharppointythings.blogpeoria.com/2009/10/27/a-post-to-inform-you-that-my-life-is-boring-raquel/
