Year in Review

2014 was definitely an insane whirlwind of a year (obviously, due to the lack of posting on here...)

Handshake Anxiety

One moment I hate in life, is the moment when you are introduced to someone for the first time and go in for the handshake. Let me explain this, I am super short and tiny. (I usually say I have a height deficiency) Although I am pushing my 30's, I have a young face and many mistake me for being in my early 20's, and have often gotten sympathetic looks when I am out with my son, Beckett. (Like - "Oh, that poor teen mom") I hate it. Despite all this, I have a pretty strong handshake. It doesn't really go with my body.

The hate shaking hands with people, because so many people give the weirdest handshakes. They like just put out their fingertips, and I'm like, what the hell do I do with this, kiss your hand? But then there are some people who you think are going to give a really good strong handshake (like men), but then totally psych you out by giving you 'limp hand'. So then I look like a total dude because I'm the one who gave the manly handshake. It also doesn't help that my hands are ALWAYS ice cold, and usually clammy. People always feel the need to comment on that fact, like "Hey, were you just stranded in the cold?!" Yeah dude, my hands are cold, what are you, a comedian? Now shut it and let's get on with the interview.

The point of this post is that it's hard to find someone who gives a genuinely good handshake. I decided instead of shaking hands with people from now on, I think I'm going to start giving high fives. That wouldn't be weird right?

Resolutions I'll pretend to keep

Going into the new year, I always create a little list of resolutions in my head that I want to keep, and of course, I forgot about them four weeks in. Sure, I think about them every now and again and think to myself "Next year, Tara, next year".

1. Build a better blog and website (I've been trying to tackle this one for years...)

2. Finally make some of the cards that have been occupying my doodlebook for years (there are some good ones in there!)

3. Take more pictures.

4. Turn off the TV more, and just relax and listen to a good record. (We've already been implementing this)

5. Make a new friend. 

*Happy New Year everyone! We adore all of our CD fans, we couldn't do any of this without the people that love our stuff. So, thank you again for another amazing year. We hope 2012 will be full of awesome new stuff, and we can't wait to share it with you!*

Paper Typewriter

Dudes, check out this suuuuper cool paper typewriter. I randomly came across it on Etsy, and totally love it. Find it here, along with other sweet goodies from London Handmade!

Broken Lizard

I am so excited to see the comedy group Broken Lizard tonight! I love those guys and still reminisce about the amazing day when I actually met Farva. Plus, the baby in my belly has been cooperating with me for the past week, so now I can actually enjoy show without the fear of vomiting. Have a happy weekend!

5 years later

Today marks the day my husband and I had our first date! We went to see a fabulous Modest Mouse concert and ate yummy cuban food. Now we're off to celebrate by going to see Funny People! I've been counting down the days until this movie came out, I love Judd Apatow!
