It came to my attention that this past Thursday was International Happiness Day. I can’t remember how I found out…but I do know it was after I made this video. I was kinda overwhelmed with all of these pictures and videos I had taken over the last couple of weeks on my phone and figured […]
I am beyond backlogged on preserving family memories. It comes to my attention that I have put a lot of pressure on myself to be the dream catcher for the entire family. Like…the reality that I am not keeping up with capturing the memories in my mind…much less getting the images in my camera or […]
Who knew that having a kid in Jr. High would take me right back there myself? It’s as if I’m walking around those halls…arching my back so I look a couple of inches shorter…wearing long, full skirts (that are the least fashionable things that I could put on my body, in case you were wondering) […]
Last night I shaved my legs. And…let’s not kid ourselves…it’s rare that I take the time to do that. And it made me wonder…why? Why do I not take the 90 seconds that it takes to shave my legs on a regular basis? It’s not like it takes that much time. I mean…it’s 90 seconds. […]
I’d like to be able to say that I went on some sort of artistic sabbatical or something. I’d like to be able to say that I purposely took a break from writing and photography and everything else artistic. But neither is true. I’ve been thinking about this quote that I heard a while back. […]
I wish that this was a space were everything was always happy. But things are kind of a mess. Everywhere I look…a mess. And this time…no amount of tinsel or white twinkly lights can make it better. For example…the laundry on the middle of the living room floor…the one that Annslee is laying on top […]
I will never be able to argue that this is my favorite time of the year. With Christmas…always comes hope…excitement…joy. And as much as I want to feel those things… this year is very different. This year… as Christmas rapidly approaches… so does what would have been our baby’s birth. I think I always thought…even […]
Okay. So…it’s possible that I may need an attitude adjustment. I just got mad at a guy for not being nice to me after I told him that he must have the wrong number. There was no…”Oh! I’m sorry…or…okay, thanks…or…my bad.” Just…click. What is the world coming to if after an “I’m so sorry…you must […]
Happy Birthday Puddin’ Cup! annslee’s 4th birthday from mindyclarkson@comcast.net on Vimeo.
This October 15th date is throwing me for a major loop. I don’t quite understand time. The way it can creep and fly…without warning. This weekend was filled with simple joys…rain boots and umbrellas, puddle jumping, slumper parties, and basketball. I haven’t been exactly myself lately. I can’t put my finger on it…a bit more […]
