Karmic irony

March 26, 2013January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 15 Comments

So, this just happened. So recently in fact, that I am still laughing about it. I got up early this morning to run errands. I had a hair cut, then I did a little shopping, had a little lunch, was having an all around nice day. I'm on my way home when IT happened. The … Continue reading Karmic irony

Blog storage

March 24, 2013January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 16 Comments

A long while back I took what for me was a huge leap in techno geekery… I started using Google Reader to keep track of all the blogs I like to follow. It was as if heaven opened up and the angels began to sing. No longer did I go one by one down my … Continue reading Blog storage

Green thumb: spring gardening

March 23, 2013January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 18 Comments

A few weeks ago I weeded my two raised planters (the extent of my gardening ambitions), and this weekend, I finally got my spring planting done.

I dedicated … Continue reading Green thumb: spring gardening

Most of my family and friends, and business contacts, call my cell phone if they need to reach me. Even my Luddite mother, who shuns the Internet but finally … Continue reading Telemarketer: West Africa calling

Today I shall behave…

March 6, 2013January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 20 Comments

Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered.” ~ Theodor Seuss Geisel If I had to describe my personality, I’d say I’m fairly introverted. I don’t typically go out of my way to be noticed, staying under the radar whenever possible. I’m not what I would consider memorable. That … Continue reading Today I shall behave…

Spring haz-mat cleaning: scoop the poop

March 5, 2013January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 4 Comments

Tuesday was a beautiful day! The sun was out, temps were climbing back into bearable ranges, and I was actually motivated to DO something. I headed outside to prep my raised planters. Recent monsoons rains, made the backyard a smidge marshy, but other than feeling like I was walking on wet sponges, the prep work … Continue reading Spring haz-mat cleaning: scoop the poop
