The Book was Better!

We all know a book supremacist, somebody who swears that the books are better than the on-screen portrayal. Famously, Crissle West, of The Read podcast, is a perfect example. She frequently tells her co-host, Kid Fury, and the listeners how horrible the Harry Potter movies were in comparison to the books. She makes no effortContinue reading “The Book was Better!”

Wonder(ful) Years

When I hear the term “reboot”, I think of turning my computer off and turning it back on again. It is basically my go-to move for all tech support related issues. My computer is frozen. Reboot. My phone is glitching. Reboot. Can’t open a website. Turn it off for a few minutes. It should beContinue reading “Wonder(ful) Years”

Corona Curriculum

We have learned a lot in the last eighteen months. The first thing COVID taught us was an economics lesson, as the laws of supply and demand were on full display as the whole nation experienced a shortage of paper goods.

Too Late!

I am notoriously late for almost everything. At work, you can count on me coming in two minutes after the meeting has started. When I had to leave my house for church, I would leave about 5 minutes before church was supposed to start, knowing full well it takes 10 minutes to get my kidsContinue reading “Too Late!”

Cards, Candy, and Crap, It’s Cold!

I do not like Valentine’s Day. It usually consists of me running around trying to by cards for every kid in multiple classes. I also try to get something nice for my own kids. My husband doesn’t celebrate, but I do usually pick up one of his favorite candies from the store. I usually alsoContinue reading “Cards, Candy, and Crap, It’s Cold!”

On Civic Duty

I, myself, try to be a good citizen. I pay my taxes. I follow the rules, for the most part, and I try to stay abreast of what’s going on in my community. To that end, I decided to “attend” a virtual school board meeting last week. I want to tell you that it wasContinue reading “On Civic Duty”

New and Improved!

Happy 2021! Welcome to “The Gospel According to Gabrielle”. I’m not here to give you a new year, new me diatribe. That’s great, if that’s what you’re doing. But y’all are getting the same old me that you had last year, with just a few tweaks. For instance, hopefully by the time any of youContinue reading “New and Improved!”
