Hey there! Alrighty! Well this is my very first blog since the ones I did on Canadian Idol. Since the show ended, I wanted to write about and even capture on video blog what is happening OR NOT happening in my life. I just always seem to look back at the good or bad that has taken place in my life and I can never really remember what happened because I didn’t write about it or take pictures etc. I can’t believe it’s already January 2008!!! Happy New Year! A little late I know… Last night I painted my apartment! It was lacking in the colour department. I have a lot of neutral colours and I needed to have that POP of colour to say, “HEY THERE YA GO! It’s blue in here!” Although I had a ton of fun painting and decorating my pad, it brought me back to when my Mom and I would do this together. My Dad would always do the hard part (the painting) and Mom and I add our girly touch of Pottery Barn or Homesense. Speaking of Mom & Dad, I can’t believe how strange it is being on my own and being away from Home. My Parents are like two of my greatest friends that I don’t get to hang with anymore. Mom said she is coming up to visit me next month which I’m super excited about but, Dad has to go away to work in Calgary. I’ll take a trip out there to see him soon. Maybe go fishing or catch a hockey game! It’s a great excuse to visit out west where country music is alive and happening! I’ve never been so, it’ll be a hoot! On the topic of country music! This ole career of mine is gonna have to get on the go! I’ve been strategizing how I want to take on this business for a few months now. After years of being on the road paying my dues, I feel that I’m now ready to try to break into the “business” side of music. I’m thinking of taking a trip to Nashville next month to see the sights, possibly set up a couple of meetings with some business folks and maybe even do some song writing while I’m there. I’ll keep you guys posted and maybe I’ll even video blog it while I’m down there! Maggie (my best friend) is calling! Gotta run! Xoxo T

Hey Tara!
Can i just say how cute that video blog was! haha I loved it.. clearly the fame hasn’t affected or changed your goofy personality! I haven’t had a chance to tell you Congratulations on the Idol business! Your B-Town friends were definitely proud! Michelle & I hung out a couple times and watched your performances.. we loved it, it was that much more entertaining watching someone that you actually knew! We were rooting for you.. You were a true superstar! I wish you all the luck in the world and I’m sure when you go to Nashville, something fantastic will happen!
Keep smiling girl
