Life @ the Poles

Don’t You Dare Fucking Give Up

Abby — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 00:51:50 +0000

Have been thinking about Life @ the Poles lately. Am I done here? Should I post an update and state the obvious, that I don’t write often anymore? Should I update once in a while with basic stuff? Just update when I want to? Should I post a closure post of sorts? Just questions, ones [...] No related posts.

It Takes One To Know One [On Dr W & Therapy]

Abby — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 01:34:07 +0000

Today, a friend of mine asked me a question regarding therapy and creativity. First is her question, second is my answer. <3 I checked with Dr W before writing and sharing this – I read it to him prior to posting it, and am posting it with his approval. – “Lady Gaga was quoted as [...] Related posts:

Slow Down [Photos, Drawings]

Abby — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 01:40:03 +0000

I was sitting at what felt like the hundredth red light, running late for Paul’s psych appointment thanks in part to someone who sat through an entire green left arrow at one of the longest red arrow lights in this entire small city (and I’ve sat through a lot of them.) And I was about [...] Related posts:

Sometimes (Just Because I Can) [Photos, Artwork]

Abby — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 01:45:50 +0000

Sometimes I do things just on a whim. (Like mowing the backyard on the 107 degree day and teaching Paul how to mow so he could trade off with me so I don’t end up sick and such from heat stroke.) (He’d take a round, I’d take two or three, he’d take a round… and [...] Related posts:

Kitchen Anarchy: Spinach & Bleu Cheese Omelette

Abby — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 18:56:37 +0000

This was my brunch today, and I made it all by myself from scratch: This might not sound like that big of a deal to most people. However, if you know me and my relationship with cooking at all, you’ll already know that I consistently burn boxed mac ‘n’ cheese. No, really. And I can’t follow directions. [...] No related posts.

Grief & Memory [Painting: WIP]

Abby — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 03:26:41 +0000

He loved me for my questions and for making him think. For my art and for wandering down every winding road we stumbled across. I’ve waited to write publicly, wanting to give people as much of a chance to find the previous entry as possible, and as an OD moment of silence, as I was [...] No related posts.

Prolific [Paintings]

Abby — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 00:34:21 +0000

I’ve uploaded in the realm of 20 paintings to the printer in the past two days. I figure if I keep up this rate, meaning 10 new prints a day, I’ll have all my artwork (worth uploading) available as a print sometime in the next two weeks. Yeah. I said two weeks. Guys, I [...] Related posts:

Summer [Photography]

I know I’ll have to call them in eventually, but they are having so much fun in that little inflatable pool. And it’s quiet inside. I actually got work done. Summer. <3 – I’ve been busy. Really, really, REALLY busy. I’m a long way from done, but making progress. Will be a late night [...] Related posts:
