It's complicated


Okay. So I didn't end up blogging everyday. There were people who wanted to read my blog and were disappointed that I wasn't keeping the blog up to date -

What happened. Well life happened. Working, trying to work, raising a daughter, being a mommy, wife, set decorator, freelancer - all of those things got in the way of blogging.

But you might ask why didn't you write about all of that.

That is a good question. I think, in many ways, it was a disappointing year.

Maybe the disapointment in the industry started last christmas eve ( a year ago almost to the day) when I found out I hadn't received a credit on the film "It's Complicated". Some how I was left out of the credits and it was very frustrating, disappointing and unnerving - all of those things - especially since I had felt so connected to that film, and that experience.

Sure. there were very difficult moments during the shooting. But I was very much a part of the set decorating team. It pushed that painful button of feeling invisible and unrecognized.

So that was a lousy christmas present. My sister said that if anyone asks why I wasn't in the credits I should just say... "Well, it's complicated..."
