Tara

Tara is drinking a cafe au lait.

Tara is glad that Primo's feeling better. He gave me quite a colic scare yesterday after our ride.

Tara is off to ride Primo Sogno.

Really enjoyed our impromptu camping trip this weekend.

Tara is upset. Went to see the horse races with Bob for Father's Day, and one of the horses had to be euthanized on the track. Very upsetting.

Tara had a lovely time last night waltzing, fox trotting and cha-cha-ing and night away!

Tara is looking forward to my date at the Evergreen Ballroom tonight.

Tara did Clinton Anderson groundwork in the round pen with Primo until I thought I would have a stroke. But I didn't, and he finally learned what he was supposed to. Now I'm too wiped out to go to karate...

Tara enjoyed a visit from Phil's Aunt Judy last night.

Tara is just waking up after a "girl's night" with McKenna, complete with a chick flick (my choice), an anime (her choice), enough snacks to choke a horse and a sleep-over. We even let Petunia Sugar-Biscuits join us (hey, she's a girl, too!).

Tara just scored 1437 on the "How Well Do You Know Forrest Gump" trivia game. Woohoo!

Tara just finished a 45-minute karate workout, and am good and sweaty!

Tara got back from our perfect weekend in Portland at 1:00am Tuesday morning, rode Primo for the first time in 2 weeks (when he stepped on a pointy rock and it perforated his hoof, but he's better now) at 12:30pm, had karate class at 6:15pm, conned McKenna into being the Tooth Fairy (she preferred Tooth Ninja) for Peyton at 8:30pm, and dropped...

Tara is waiting for the trolley to take us to the Morrocon (Moroccon? Whatever...) restaurant where we will done on couscous with the sultan, and be entertained by bell dancers! Party!!

Tara is on the train to Portland for a fun-filled weekend. I'm enjoying the gorgeous Oregon scenery while Bob naps and Pey watches a movie. Traveling by train is a HOOT!

Tara hates that I get verbose, garrulous and loquacious when I get nervous.

Tara is feeling very positive this morning. But it could just be the caffeine kicking in... No. I'm going to go with positivity!

Tara is looking forward to a beautiful day and weekend!

Tara had my private karate belt test last night (I had to sit out of the group one because of my pneumonia), and I passed! I am officially a blue belt now! Woohoo! And I'm also sore and tired...

Tara is struggling to see the perfection in this moment.

Tara is still sore from karate and riding two days ago! This whole "getting older" thing is for the birds!!

Tara rode my horse AND did my karate workout yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks! Take that, pneumonia!!

Tara found out that Peyton draws pictures and gives them as presents to his "girl" Trina. Isn't my 1st-grader adorable?!?

Tara learned that Peyton slept sort of like a rock, but sometimes like a log last night.

Tara is going to karate class with McKenna and Bob, even if I can't work out.

Tara is thankful for Bob making soup for me, and for Peyton making me a fruit salad with grapes, an apple, broccoli and shrimp. Yum...

Tara is being waited on and pampered, but can't fully appreciate it due to the presciption-induced haze.

Tara finally knows why this cough and cold aren't going away... Because it's pneumonia. Ahhh... Mystery solved.

Tara is making another run to the doctor for yet another ear infection. What the heck is going on?!?!

Tara just took some cold medicine, so it should be "lights out" in about 10...9...8...7.......6............5............4...........zzzzzzzzzzzz.
