Intervention

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.

  1. Hi Lisa,

    Tara is obviously currently suffering from post-party-depression, a condition that I made up not long ago. This condition rears its ugly head when one has spent time in paradise and then has to come home to the usual every-day swing of things! Symptoms include: wishing one was back in paradise, thinking about when they can get back to paradise, and neglecting ones blog! I suffered from it myself on our return from Queenslands Gold Coast here in Australia and it sucks big time!!!!! It’s OK Tara, we understand!!!!!

  2. Come back to us Tara!! I’m with Lisa….any photo will do. In saying that I agree with post-party-depression and think I still have it and we got back from Hawaii last June :) Hang in there Tara

  3. Thank you, Lisa. I live vicariously through others who travel to wonderful places during the winter months. I’ve been waiting on Hawaii pictures for DAYS AND DAYS. I want to see ALL the kids (even though Anna is incredibly cute) playing on the black sand beaches in Hawaii. I want stories. You are a good friend, Lisa… not only to Tara, but to all of us out here waiting on updates. Thank you for the intervention.

  4. hahahahahahaaaaaa! too funny lisa! Yes…Tara…we have ALL been wondering the same thing…’WHERE ARE YOU AND WHY AREN’T YOU BLOGGING?????’ We are in need of some yummy inspirational pics!!! They are good for the soul! You have been missed, you are loved…SO BLOG WOMAN!!!!

  5. I think it’s safe to say we all miss YOU and your PICTURES!! Please post more or I will have to travel with my 3 kids again to SCAL for another photo session!! :-) Seriously, I do hope to do that again in a few years. We are still receiving numerous compliments on your photos.

    Take care!!

  6. Hi Tara!

    Ive just spent the last couple of days reading your blog right back to 2006 and I have to say I LOVE your work! Its amazing! If you ever come to New Zealand – LET ME KNOW!!! Id love to book you :) hehehe

  7. What about a good ol OPAM? I was following right along. Eager to see what type of ideas you had in store each month and then nothing. What about a project? Pics of the house? Love love loved the pics of your living room after christmas. The photo wall, the #6, the sign in your office. Give us something. I always find your posts so much fun to read. Post baby, post!

  8. So glad to hear ’bout the intervention! I’ve SO missed the posts. I always save this blog for last b/c, well, I always save the best for last. But alas, I’ve had to do without of late. I’m hoping the intervention will be successful.
    On a more serious note…Tara, I see melancholy in those eyes. I hope things are well with you.

  9. Yeah! I’m so glad you did an intervention. Here’s my (from a distance and from a person who doesn’t actually know the fabulous Tara Whitney) intervention.

    PLEASE COME BACK TO YOUR BLOG!!! I MISS YOU! I MISS YOUR PICTURES! I come back to your blog (okay – this is really sad) SEVERAL TIMES A DAY looking for a new post. Your posts make me happy. Seattle is gray right now….so any happy things are good.

  10. AMEN Lisa…I NEEDED a Tara blogpost! Going crazy here in the middle of a Minnesota winter and I’m missing the sunshine that Tara’s blog provides. So thank you. And Tara. I miss you. I mean your blog posts. And not at all in a creepy kinda way. :)
