Just the facts ma’am…

August 11, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 14 Comments

I am a liar. When friends gush over this or that episode of their favorite TV show, I smugly claim to ‘not watch a lot of network television.‘ In saying that I see myself as somehow above the fray, too erudite to be swept up in the tsunami of reality shows, well-written family dramadies, and … Continue reading Just the facts ma’am…

Confession is good for the soul…

August 9, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 11 Comments

There was a time when anyone could send me (tag!!) a random meme and I would join in with abandon. My first tagging felt like an invitation to join the Cool Kid's club. It came a few months after my initial foray into blogging and it was as if I was given a sign I … Continue reading Confession is good for the soul…

Writer’s block

August 8, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

It’s not life or death. It’s not even a make or break business deal, a non-negotiable deadline that could mean a cut in pay or total loss of a job. It’s a personal mission to write some little something that doesn’t completely suck and maybe, just maybe garner a few ‘nice job’ comments from faceless … Continue reading Writer’s block

August 4, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 6 Comments

What I initially thought was a chance encounter, turned out to be an undeniable omen that led me to Dimoni College. It was the summer before my sophomore year in high school and I faced increasing pressure from my family, teachers and counselors to decide on a career path and where to attend university. I … Continue reading College tour from hell…

A son of Lir

July 28, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

A veil of illusion binds him. His snowy hair and onyx eyes belie his age. Fair of face and manner, only the beauty of his voice compares. He walks as if on wing, his feet barely touching the earth. Fairytales and legends he whispers in my ear. Myths of Druid spells, witches and enchanted swans, … Continue reading A son of Lir

Rainy days and Mondays

July 26, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 16 Comments

The pounding rain and thunder woke me before my alarm. Good thing, since the storm had also knocked out the power. That meant a dark and cold shower, and no coffee. Being up early, maybe I would have enough time to stop on the way into the office. A Monday without copious amounts of caffeine … Continue reading Rainy days and Mondays
