Stomping on broken glass

December 28, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 15 Comments

Forget tiptoeing on egg shells around you. It’s more like stomping on broken glass. As much as I try to skirt the issue, telling you I don’t want to talk about it anymore, you continue to poke that bruise. He made his decision, and you have to recognize what it is and acknowledge neither of … Continue reading Stomping on broken glass

Merry Christmeme

December 19, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

I saw this fun holiday meme at Terri's and thought I would play along. 1. The Christmas song I can listen to even in June is: Hands down, my favorite Christmas song is 'Oh, Holy Night.' Chills, I tell you! Every time I hear it, no matter what time of the year, I can get … Continue reading Merry Christmeme

Happy Holidays

I thought this prompt would be a stumper. The only thing I could initially come up with for "lumpy" was my Muffin Top. The chances of me posting a photo of that? Yeah, not gonna happen. Then, this morning in anticipation of my daughter's visit home during her Christmas Break from school, I made cookies... and … Continue reading One lump or two?

Poo happens… or not

November 30, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

TMI Alert: cat poo and enema warning About a week ago I took one of our cats to the vet after he seemed to be having problems pooing. He was crying, and bowing up, trying to take a squat in the oddest places. Once at the vets', the doc determined that Scruffy was definitely constipated … Continue reading Poo happens… or not

In a fishbowl

November 24, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

Not one day, one hour can pass without some fragment of our lives being broadcast to the world. A simple question is transformed into an indictment against our very existence. An innocent photo can be manipulated, twisted into the most grotesque caricature. Where once rumors would range only as far as the next office, or … Continue reading In a fishbowl
