Where did the week go? I have been tending to a sick little girl (pink eye and fever) and mourning the death of Heath Ledger. I have found that since I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">housebound</span> I check <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">TMZ</span> and various other"news" sources constantly. (really, like every 10 min) I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">beginning</span> to feel like a freak. For some reason it makes me REALLY sad. I even shed a few tears.(I'll chalk that up to PMS) He was one of the people I was hoping to bump into on my trip. I even warned my husband ;) It just goes to show you how precious life is. <div><br /></div><div>I have to tell you all I HATE this freaking weather! It sucks. I realize it's January but does it have to be -25 when I wake up? Yesterday we had a high of 5. I can handle a week or two of this but it has been constant.(since before Thanksgiving) We have had a couple of "balmy" days in the 20's but come on I need some sun. I guess this is what a Wisconsin winter is all about!</div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06708949274104025508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809995842678218594.post-23856956398291518392008-01-22T11:58:00.000-08:002008-01-22T13:11:34.592-08:00I love New YorkI just returned home from my trip last night. I had a wonderful time, New York is my new love. I have now been there 3x and each time I leave wanting more! It is not a place I would want to raise my kids but when they fly the nest I could see myself there. Soho, the West Village, Greenwich Village, I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">definitely</span> a downtown girl. <div> </div><div>I have stories and pictures coming shortly, I just need to get back into the swing of things here!</div><div><br /></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06708949274104025508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809995842678218594.post-20213401460796480362008-01-14T17:58:00.000-08:002008-11-12T19:49:33.726-08:00Yeah!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD34qU75vLwcAp8p9vXyrSWqejYB4xOzNmQyG2WPQVkIUV9iGy_1HTNzbWWts7MvWTFg4O3lA3P57WEYVd2dZC-C4se5oJGPXESRknHNG5ksjWt58tpcD1j38Qy3qB_L9bmAAV1w78qFQ/s1600-h/IMG_0712.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD34qU75vLwcAp8p9vXyrSWqejYB4xOzNmQyG2WPQVkIUV9iGy_1HTNzbWWts7MvWTFg4O3lA3P57WEYVd2dZC-C4se5oJGPXESRknHNG5ksjWt58tpcD1j38Qy3qB_L9bmAAV1w78qFQ/s320/IMG_0712.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155532656708978674" /></a><br />Today has been a good day! I now have had a couple people peek at this blog. Thank you, Thank you. I also am gearing up for my girls long weekend in NYC. I leave on Wed. and will return on Monday. I really need this trip. 2007 was such a stressful year. This last move has been incredibly difficult and I feel so lonely up here. I had a couple of health issues, a miscarriage and kidney stones. My relationship with my mother took another blow (we have not spoke in 6.5 months)I gained 10 lbs(I am a stress eater) and can't seem to loose it! So I plan on relaxing, shopping, celebrity gawking and enjoying all the sights and sounds New York has to offer. I can't wait to go back to Moustache, they have the best hummus! I want to check out the Spotted Pig, I hear that is one of the places to be. We are looking for some fun spots to go after dinner, any suggestions? I hope to have lots of stories for you once I return. Have a good week.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06708949274104025508noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809995842678218594.post-6400408037440824212008-01-11T14:27:00.000-08:002008-11-12T19:49:34.060-08:00Test<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF_h4IkG1oOYwPGQg1f0NTHGyEXp43R6S_bIZX2-CCWXyn0mur7iPlsJplvzoWhQn1D4IbR3vRoQyxKNDGekauNgkoUVxmlpRXiHYLBTPjWEsEPuuKAdLe6hbeGiDEfc2M-j11_qNujFc/s1600-h/DSC_9169m2j_F.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF_h4IkG1oOYwPGQg1f0NTHGyEXp43R6S_bIZX2-CCWXyn0mur7iPlsJplvzoWhQn1D4IbR3vRoQyxKNDGekauNgkoUVxmlpRXiHYLBTPjWEsEPuuKAdLe6hbeGiDEfc2M-j11_qNujFc/s320/DSC_9169m2j_F.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154349444758538210" /></a>I am attempting to add a photo, here it goes....Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06708949274104025508noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809995842678218594.post-4530939877258612292008-01-11T05:48:00.000-08:002008-01-11T05:55:35.429-08:00Help<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">I would love to add more to this site, photos, etc. I am new to this and not very tech savvy, if someone could help my out I would be very appreciative! </span>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06708949274104025508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809995842678218594.post-38771130649742722782008-01-02T13:00:00.000-08:002008-01-02T14:10:20.221-08:00Finally!I have been lurking on several blogs for about 2 years now and I finally am creating one of my own. So now that I have started I can draw a line through one of my goals for 2008.In case any of you are wondering here is a sampling of others I hope to mark off......<div><br /></div><div>1. Take off 15-20 lbs (I know, I know)</div><div>2. organize photos </div><div>3. enjoy the little things</div><div>4. yell less ( I sometimes have anger issues)</div><div>5. tap into my creativity</div><div>6. smile more</div><div>7. be on time</div><div><br /></div><div>Now for a little about me. My name is Tara and I have just officially entered my mid-thirties. I live in the middle of nowhere aka Wisconsin. I have been here for 8 months. Originally I hail from Northeastern Ohio. For the past 6 years I have been touring the midwest with my corporate ladder climbing husband (J) we have made stops in Minneapolis and Chicago. I have 2 fabulous daughters ages 7 and 4. I love to cook, I tend to be somewhat of a food snob. I love to read, shop, garden, dance and travel. </div><div>I hope you stay tuned, I promise not all posts will be as boring as this! I just need to get into a groove and try to be as candid and witty as the bloggers I love!</div><div><br /></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06708949274104025508noreply@blogger.com3
