Hello Tara people.
My name is Lisa and Im a friend of Tara’s. I was somewhat perturbed by Tara’s truancy in keeping up with her blog. Who’s with me? Can I get an AMEN? She has been back from Hawaii for weeks now and we get TWO blog posts? I wanted more.
I figured this dilemma was worth an intervention. Perhaps Tara didnt know she needed help. Maybe she thought she didnt have a problem. I decided to drive the 45 minutes up to her house and set her straight.
When I arrived she seemed happy to see me. It didn’t occur to her that I was here for a reason – I WANTED A BLOG UPDATE. I waited and acted naturally. I wanted her to feel relaxed and at ease. We caught up while she emptied the dish washer. I chit chatted with Jefe and the kids. I even relieved myself in their bathroom – just to make her feel like everything was cool. After dinner, I went in for the kill.
Lisa: “Hey T, when are you going to post on your blog?”
Tara: “Eh.”
Lisa “No dude… Im serious. Just give us one picture. Anna’s cute. Just get a cute picture of her and put it up with a caption that says “Things have been busy. Here’s a picture.”
Tara: “Eh. I dont know. Anna is cute though.”
Lisa: “I have an idea. Lets go up and do photobooth pictures of ourselves. You can blog that!”
Tara: “Are you serious?”
Lisa: “Damn skippy I am! Lets do eeeeeeettttt!”
And so… without further adieu I give you the result of my hard work and sneakery:
As I sit here proofing this post, it occurs to me that Tara is actually sitting next to me hicupping and twirling her hair… not blogging. Foiled again.
note from tara: i approve this message. and i approve of lisa. and i approve of interventions. however, i do not appear to approve of blogging. ill work on it.
funny!
LISA…I have wanted you to start a blog for years!!!
Get on it!!!!!
yes i agree….thank you for the intervention.
if my best friend hadn’t blogged in two weeks i would do the same as you. :)
thank you lisa!
and i wish Lisa would start a blog…..her scrapbook pages are my MOST favorite on two peas. MOST!!
tara you are amazing.
can’t wait till you get back on blogging horse.
LOL! This was hilarious! Thanks for the intervention!
thank you lisa!
amen & amen!
hehehehehehehehe- – – yee haw.
love this post.
LOVE it.
so this is what you two were doing when i arrived. ha so funny. :-)
Lisa,
I was beginning to really be concerned.Now I have living proof she has not dropped off the face of the earth.She gets the hibernation thing from her Mom who actually does the same thing when life gets to be too much. It is fine when I am going through it…..just not so fine when your daughter is because then your imagination starts to act up. Something must be terribly wrong,was it something I said?? Are the kids OK,Is she sick,She is not answering phone messages,someone must have kidnapped her, Did Emily finally talk her in to moving the whole family to Australia. See how it goes?? We are pathetic aren’t we???
It is just that I love her so much. Don’t see her or talk to her as often as I would like.Just need to know she is OK and then not seeing her is OK. Makes sense somehow…Now it is just not me that misses her, not just me that is concerned. I see she has a loyal following of concerned blog followers. So now I don’t feel quite so bad…..
Take all the time you need baby girl…..I, the hibernation queen gets you. Just remember I am here if you need me. Take the time you need without question. Sometimes a girl just needs a break.
I love you
Mom
PS. Thank you Lisa for the intervention
Now that is FUNNY! Thanks Lisa for all of your hard “intervention” work. Those of us that follow Tara’s blog are very thankful for your work! And Tara, the first step to recovery…is admitting the problem! LOL! Very funny post…thanks for the laugh!
thank you Lisa, friend of Tara!
thank you Lisa, friend of Tara!
Thank you Lisa! Yep- I’ve been wondering where Ms. Tara Whitney was…

It makes you feel good to know you have good frineds like Lisa lookin’ out for you .. missin you Tara…
Blog already!
Don’t do it for us… do it for you!
I’ve been missing your blog posts too. No pressure – because I know life’s crazy, especially with four adorable kids like you have. But just in case you were thinking, “I’m sure no one even notices that I haven’t been blogging,” you’re wrong. ;)
I love reading your posts and seeing your very cool photos.
Oh, I’d love another pic of your bike (in case you need some inspiration). I just bought one. It’s not in yet, and I am just itching to have it in my hands.
Have a good day. :)
love it! – thanks Lisa. i really miss reading your posts tara….
Glad Lisa got you to post an update and I’m with her and all that I’ve missed your blogging – but have you told her she needs to get a blog! Love her scrapbook style and would love to hear her story. So maybe use that next time she’s hounding you. :)
You don’t know me, but I miss you Tara. I love your blog posts. I wish you lived nearby – but I’m in Australia :) I understand the lack of blogging energy. Please don’t feel pressured or guilted into posting. Enjoy your family and take the time you need to do whatever it is you want to do – even just lying on the lounge eating grapes, watching Oprah…. Be kind to yourself. kathryn x
and for Pam (Tara’s mum) – what a precious mum you are. So lovely to read your comments for your beautiful daughter. My daughter is just 6, but I know I have all that “crazy second guessing how they’re feeling” mum thing going on too. Take care of yourself. xxxx
It’s a damn good thing someone is looking out for your best interests before people start storming the California coast with pitchforks.
mrs. tara, I just wanted to post and say….take your time- we all miss you, your eye, your talent, your bliss, your posts….but know that you are human, busy, a mommy, a wife, a……this that and the other. I hope all is well…see you when we see you. til then, peace. teri
See how much we all love you.
Hi Mama tara. :)
Hi CathyB.
I totally sympathize with the lack of blogging. A woman’s just gotta take a break sometimes, you know? And then sometimes it is just really hard to get started again. :)
this is seriously awesome.. what a great post.. thanks for the smiles and giggles
AMEN!
It’s not working. It’s been days and no more posts…. I guess it worked about as well as the intervention we did with my sister regarding her alcoholism. Keep trying. Maybe she’ll come around eventually. Melinda
clearly it didn’t work…since this was posted on friday and here we are on tuesday afternoon as still yet to see a new post. but honestly…if i was getting 77…wait….78 comments on posts that i write and only had to write ever couple weeks….i’d do it. go for it tara. obviously your readership is ok with it. go on with your bad self!
Tara, we meeeeeeeece you!
This had to be the best blog EVER! loved it!
