You guys. You know how I said I had a lot going on? Ohhhhhmygoodness. That’s an understatement.

I don’t wanna spill the beans yet, but there are a lot of things taking shape. And, no, I’m not preggers. Let’s be clear on that one. By the way, when did people start jumping to that conclusion? I find it weird.

Anyway, I’m doing my best to keep up with all of it. I’m incredibly lucky. And I never take that for granted.

Lately I find myself coping in seriously weird new ways, though. I’ve been gorging on Phish Food, browsing thrift stores, and craving a chance to spray paint ANYTHING. What’s this about?! Stress makes you do such weird stuff.

Emily Henderson is becoming my best friend, even though she doesn’t know I exist. So are Sherry & John. Even Martha Stewart is starting to feel like a motherly best friend of sorts. You know the kind of adopted mom you find, if you’re lucky?

If any of those people lived in Raleigh, I’m sure we’d be friends. We’d have the prettiest homes and the best house parties. You’d be very jealous of us and how well we keep it together.

Instead… I’m faced with my recent reality: I’m a hot mess because of all that’s happening. I’ve gained weight from all the ice cream gorging. Oh, yeah, and I have a ton of thrift store junk waiting to be spray painted, taking up valuable space in my studio. Booooo on that. (Can I get a “first world problem” shout, or is that now passé?)

Anyway, this blog is about my adventures in filmmaking. I don’t feel it’s appropriate to write about seemingly unrelated things here — even if creativity takes many shapes and sizes. I feel like my film folks wanna continue getting film stuff here. So I want to respect that.

But because my life-long fascination with interior design, home renovations, and DIY projects have taken the front seat recently (and rather unexpectedly, I might add), I’ve decided to start a new online space to explore such things. I’ve never used Tumblr and have always wanted to try it. And I write to process things — even if no one ever reads it. That includes the get-your-hands-dirty type of stuff.

That being said, you can find my ramblings about interior design, DIY projects, home renovations, and such here. Enjoy if you wish. Or don’t! I just need to get those thoughts out of my brain space so that I can carry on, knowwhatimean?

Tomorrow I promise to share more film-related things again. ‘Til then, my friends!
