Gay jokes still aren’t funny

April 7, 2012January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

If I could tell you who it was, I would. This weekend while I was driving toward my usual photo hike I was listening to the radio. The morning DJs were in the midst of a routine that I can only assume was meant to be humorous. After only a couple of jokes, I turned … Continue reading Gay jokes still aren’t funny

49 and a half

April 4, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 9 Comments

Today, I am exactly 49 and a Half. For those of you who are chronologically challenged, that puts the big FIVE-O birthday in October. (For those so inclined to lavish gifts on the sadly aged,  here's my 'Buy Me This' List.) Prior to our teen years, tacking on that 'Half' was vitally important. That's when … Continue reading 49 and a half

I Will…

January 4, 2012January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 15 Comments

I keep telling myself, and anyone else who’ll listen, that I don’t do New Year's Resolutions. All that does is set me up for failure. I’m hard enough on myself without adding more baggage to the situation. Instead of making a list of things I want to achieve that may be unattainable, I’m joining Aunt … Continue reading I Will…

Stay real

November 9, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 23 Comments

I've wondered out loud before at how real people really are online. Is it easier to be candid here than in real life? Even if you use your real name, telling real stories about your life, there is a certain level of anonymity. We can still hide behind our laptop screens, avoiding the tells of … Continue reading Stay real
