Just like Mom, I wake up looking like Scar Face.

TARA TROY BABY NEWS
As of 7:41 PM
This just in...pregnant women take good photos in shadow (April 2006).
Two butterflies mated outside our window today.
Tara had gnocchi for dinner. It was good.
Troy is pesimistic as ever, but I still love him.
Phin is ready for bed holding his Elmo. So Sweet.
Yzerman is laying under my feet at the computer. So Sweet.
Coltrane and Minx hardly moved today.
OK OK, Troy changed the litter today and worked on architecture, and I love him.

Good Vibrations
I think I am going to start a new blog soon...in addition to the taratroybaby
blog of course, or just add it to this one...
As I was driving to work today, scanning the radio
stations (my usual 3, local music, NPR, and the UT radio station) I
could not get passed hearing about all of the bad things that are
happening all around us everyday. I get to work, turn on my computer to
check my email, and what pops up (every ten seconds or so) more bad
news from the AP. What is news worthy anymore? What makes the
news...news? I can't help but think we are all worse for the wear
because of all of the negativity that is slammed in our face
everyday...if nothing else, we are desensitized by it all.
My goal for my NEWS page, is to focus on something positive, something that
stands out above all of the negative images we see everyday. Whether it
be a random act of kindness, a smile, a beautiful image, a good deed, a
job well done, or just an affirmation, I feel that I need topublicly
display these sorts of things in my own world, and hopefully touch
yours as well. I am guided today by a good friend of mine who is a very
strong person, and one of the most positive and heartwarming people I
know, TiffanyKapture. A year ago she lost her father in an accident, yet she remains so positive about life...she is an inspiration
, and just today, she wrote this email that I thought I would share
with you, so you can see what I mean! I will join her today after work
to take in some of the great Austin spring weather and enjoy her
company!
She titled it "Why I love Austin today..."
... because the juniors I've been monitoring just finished their last TAKS
test ever and now I'm listening to one of my former geography students
play the guitar and sing, both of which he's amazing at!! And because
the teacher I was monitoring the test with decided to two-step with me
as my student played and sang and 25 juniors watched and giggled! Yeah!
It's a good day to be Austin! I can't imagine this scenario playing
itself out anywhere else. Hope your Friday is treating you this well.
If not, fear not,because it is Austin, and there's always some fantastic music live to take in. :)
Love & Peace,
Tiffany

California Dreamin
Pictures tell a lot, the trip was beautiful. I had a conference in La Jolla, so we made it into a family vacation when I was not working, needless to say, we are exhausted! Too much to see in too little time...Phin did great on his first plane ride, the flight attendants just ate him up.
