Ah yes my friends. It is the weekend! And turning out to be a beautiful one weather wise.
On tap for Miss Tara this weekend:
Dinner with my sister and mom! She will be 60 on Sunday (my mom, not my sister :). Saturday will be spent at a BBQ for my friends adorable little girl Kailey. Sunday will bring some brunch, some Mary Kay, and more celebrating my mothers big birthday. Overall, a lovely weekend spent with family and friends that always make me smile!
This week was a busy one. I had my last Improv class. What a blast that was and I am entertaining the idea of taking more classes at the Improv Boston. Improv really challenges you to think outside the box and to not over think. It is hard when all day you are in thinking mode. To be able to just let it go and say the first thing on your mind is a task I thought was a lot easier. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be taken out of your comfort zone.
um.. yeah.. so I think that is all I have to say. I am beyond exhausted from a Red Sox game last night, followed by having to stay up and watch the celtics.
Have a GREAT weekend people :)

Beer, Hot dogs and Baseball!
Weather in the 70's, sun shining, and Red Sox tickets in hand. Tell me.. does it get any better? Nuff said!

Heat and Birthdays and more Heat.. Oh My
It is so odd to have this kind of heat in early June. I just hope it is not setting us up for a really hot summer. I love the sun, and I love the heat. But humidity kills me and if I can not be outside because it is too hot it really annoys me. But I can not complain, we have not seen any rain and seeing the sun shine always makes me happy!
So I am a bit anxious lately. Not really sure where it is coming from, possibly from many different directions, however I am sure it has everything to do with June 21st. I will be 32 in exactly 11 days. Ugh, even typing that made my chest feel tight. Why does this happen? I am better now in my life then I ever have been. I am confident in who I am becoming. I guess it has to do with where I thought I would be at 32. Perhaps I would already have been married and had a few rug rats running around, possibly be a soccer mom (no minivan though). Am I disappointed with where I am? I would say that I am not, I think my path has been just the way it was meant to be. I also think not having those things yet is actually a great thing. I think that I will be a better wife and mother when that day comes based on the things I have went through in life.
Perhaps it is making me anxious as well because I have come to some personal realizations. None that I want to get into on a public forum such as this. However lets just say that it makes me realize that I need to not try so hard to be accepted, that the ones that really care for me accept me just as I am. That the person I portray sometimes is not who I really am, and it is me trying to cover up for my insecurities. I want to be true to me, and let the vulnerable side be there, not let it scare me so much. I guess letting go sometimes means that we can not be who we think we should be, that we need to nurture and feed the person we are, faults and all. We are not perfect, I am definitely not perfect. I want to be me, even with the yucky stuff we all carry from our past. However knowing that tomorrow is a new day, we need to own our past and create a new day. There is not reason to bring what happened before to the now. We learned from everything and it is what makes up who we are now.
Anyway, yes, I do continue to babble. However at the end of the day, I just hope that I am making the best decisions for me. I want to look back on it all as a wonderful journey, full of silly mistakes, and amazing blessings.
I don't want to ever take this life I have for granted. The friends and family that I have had in my life for 32 years. The people that make me stronger just for knowing them. There are so many things I am thankful for as I look toward another year. Mostly I am just thankful to be here, so be able to be a player in this world.

It all started with waking up late because I shut my alarm off and fell back to sleep, and then I just could not get it together to get out the door, and I am all womanly today (you know what THAT means), and trying to eat healthy with all this working out. Well dammit I just want CHOCOLATE!
Today is a go back under the covers day and wait til tomorrow!
but.. alas, life continues when you are feeling icky blickity!
So.. I charge ahead. Because my friends.. This too shall pass! :)
On a cheery note.. it IS Wednesday and that means the weekend is right around the corner.. Ya Hoooooooooo

Applying Make up while driving?!
Okay so today on my merry way to work *imagine me humming a tune*. I am backed up on the on ramp to Route 3 per normal, and what do I see, well behind me the lady was applying her make up.
I always look at these people and wonder, what made them think that was a good idea? Who says, well instead of waking up 5 minutes earlier, I will just apply my make up in the car. Really? Do you think that is smart. Especially if you are behind me?
So I am watching her through my rear view mirror, and there she goes, applying foundation, oh.. and then it was time for powder. Lovely. Then she applies her blush. The whole thing fascinates me.
Lets be real people, if I applied my make up while driving, I would probably look like this:
Some people might find that to be an improvement. *note - I would totally rock that hat*
Or, in another scenario I would end up like this:

So please, take the time to set your alarm for earlier and do your make up, or do it at work. Save me the aggravation that it would take to get out of my car when you rear end me. If you are really that lazy, why not try that make up tattooing, might do you and the world a favor ;)
Be safe silly people!
