a top 5

On thrusday at work, my teammates and I got into a discussion. About a list. THE list, if you will....

It is always interesting to me about who ends up on my friends lists. I think it is a little bit of insight into their personalities. So, I am sharing my list with you. Here they are in no particular order....

Mom was right...

Eh, boy. I made a promise to you all.... and have not followed through! Sorry

things are still the same in my world, with one slight change....

BLAKE IS GETTING MARRIED!!!

In fact he is taking his engagement pictures right now. Her name is Caitlin and is adorable. She is going to be an amazing addition to our family. What was 5 is now 6. Loving it!

November 12th is the big day. I am having so much fun getting to know her better. She is an absolute doll.

When Blake was born, I was devastated that he didn't turn out to be a girl. I was so hoping for a baby sister. I am 10 years older, and had such plans for her! (of course, I adore Blake and he has been an amazing baby brother)

I remember a tender moment with my Mom when she said, "one day Blake will get married and you will have a new sister then.". This was not the right answer :) I yelled, "He is a baby! He will never grow up and get married...!!!". The day has come, and Mom was right. 24 years of waiting.... I was also blessed with Anna 2 years ago! Things are working out nicely for me.

Goodbye, Diet Coke. It has been a good run...

This week I am going off Diet Coke. I have 2 a day at work. I love a nice cold DC. It really is part of my "happy".
BUT.... I am trying live a healthier life style. More gym days, more veggies. More fruit. Hopefully that will translate to LESS numbers on my clothing tags! :)
Support at this time would be welcomed...

the opposite of blogging...

I have been a very bad blogger. Some might say delinquent. And for the 3 of you that actually read my blog (wink, wink) I offer my sincere apology.

Let's chalk it up to "Tara ain't got nuthin to report". Because let's face it friends, there really isn't much to report.

Still working at the same place. Still living at the same place. Still driving the same car. And the purple has officially washed out of my hair. So, What do you think? What should a girl do 3 weeks before her Thirty.... blah blah... birthday?

I was told today that I didn't look my age. Ha ha. I told the person it is the Oil of Olay and the plastic surgery. :) Technically I have not had any work done and and I don't use Oil of Olay. I guess I should take the compliment.

Any way friend, I'm back. And I will try to be better about blogging.

purple

I was kinda getting tired of my blond blocks that I had in my hair. I had them about a year (and for me, that is like a 100 years!!) I like to change my hair. It is one of the few things in my life that I can change and have instant gratification.

So when I went into my salon and told my hair stylist she was a little shocked that I was choosing purple. (though I don't know why... i think it is pointless to have to actually REMIND people that you are a little rebellious!)

So the conclusion of this story is... I put purple in my hair. I really love it!

broken

I feel broken. In every way possible.

I was watching The Biggest Loser tonight, and I really related to what Irene said about her weight loss journey.

She said something about this being the first time in her life, that she has felt whole, and not broken. That she feels like she can conquer the world. What an amazing feeling!

And I realize that I don't feel like that. I am broken. Not quite whole. Not quite at my fullest potential.

I am going to work on that.

Wish me luck, I have a journey ahead of me.
