When a Husband Means Well, But…

March 13, 2015 By Gail

  So. I was having one of those days where I felt emotionally wonky. One moment I was feeling saucy, and the next I felt like crying. There didn’t seem to be a connection or catalyst to my swings, so I applied my “one term fits all” solution…hormones. It had to be my hormones misbehaving. Again! When my husband came… Read More

Do or Dye

March 13, 2015 By Gail

The pristine white of the silk scarf ached for color, and my Grumbacher Goldenedge 4626 paintbrush was ready to remedy the situation. Oh yeah. Creativity was my minion on this day.

They’re So Cute When They’re Sleeping

February 27, 2015 By Gail

Last night, in a near state of exhaustion, I decided to stay up just long enough to hear the weather forecast. It’s almost a law to do so in Minnesota. 🙂 As I reclined on the couch, I kept hearing a tapping sound, but couldn’t place it. Giese, our younger cat, goes through stages of playing with certain toys.

Water You Saying to Yourself?

February 27, 2015 By Gail

“Ack! Where did that wrinkle come from? I’m starting to look like a Shar-Pei.” Or, “I feel like a blimp today! Just write Good Year across my huge butt and send me to the nearest football field. Blahhhhh.” And so the negative self-speak goes. And goes. And goes.  No matter how much I champion the beauty of women, other women,… Read More
