Not Always How It Looks

April 5, 2017April 5, 2017 / Tara / 1 Comment

I’ve had a plethora of thoughts about my next post, one of which was planned last week on a topic that has long bothered me about the business I’ve grown up in. I didn’t get it written before the weekend, and damn if it didn’t happen again and it not only pissed me off that … Continue reading Not Always How It Looks

Call Me Honey

March 9, 2017March 9, 2017 / Tara / 2 Comments

I don’t know how it happened. Somewhere along the way after I moved south, I became Honey. Everywhere I go, somebody calls me honey. Every time I’d enter the elementary school, which was often thanks to a T1 kid, the girls behind the desk would call me honey. Hi honey. What can I do for … Continue reading Call Me Honey

Melancholy

March 3, 2017March 3, 2017 / Tara / Leave a comment

  I went to Walmart yesterday with Opac. He was adamant about stocking up on his favorite hair glue, so much so that he was spazzing out because I didn’t want to go since my brother was over and Veruca is overdue for a haircut and I wanted to kill two birds with one stone … Continue reading Melancholy

Honoring Friends

January 31, 2017January 31, 2017 / Tara / Leave a comment

With all the negativity circulating social media and most often in my morning news feed, I made a couple of self-preservation decisions. One was to start my morning with coffee and my journal. In other words, I don’t start my day reading the stuff that gets my blood pumping. I’m journaling “almost” regularly now, like … Continue reading Honoring Friends

Three Times I’ve Felt Blessed

January 21, 2017January 21, 2017 / Tara / Leave a comment

When I really, really knew. I’m talking profound, existential moments. The first time it hit me, really hit me, I was on a flight home from Santa Barbara. I’d been in California visiting a long-time, on again-off again boyfriend. What was different about this trip, as opposed to a handful of others to San Diego … Continue reading Three Times I’ve Felt Blessed

In Mysterious Ways

January 9, 2017 / Tara / Leave a comment

It’s been a difficult couple of days. Without too many details, I haven’t been feeling well and it’s not contagious and I need to call a doctor this morning. And, like the icing on the proverbial cake, my anxiety is off the charts. Watching real-time television is not recommended during these times. Last weekend we … Continue reading In Mysterious Ways

2016 – A Year in Review

January 4, 2017 / Tara / Leave a comment

Todd and I finally got our vacation! We took several days at the beach and had a wonderful time. Veruca finished her last year in elementary school and began her middle school career. Much to my surprise, she returned to Cheer again last fall. After struggling for the last two years like a small boat … Continue reading 2016 – A Year in Review

Where I’ve Been – Holiday Edition

December 30, 2016 / Tara / 1 Comment

By the dim light from the windows of today’s cloudy day, and the twinkling of a too-old Christmas tree and a fire in our fireplace, I’m finally sitting down to recount the holiday adventures. I’ve been MIA for almost a month. I can’t honestly say what I’ve been doing, as the days melted into one … Continue reading Where I’ve Been – Holiday Edition
