Who am I?

I don’t currently have an About Me section on my website and so there are probably many things some of you, my readers, do not yet know about me.  I thought I would write a little bit about myself now.

My name is Tara.  I’m a 27 year old from northwest Arkansas.  I’m not married and have no children at this time.  I do have a Dachshund named Gracie, though, that some might think I treat like my own child.  I’m very close to my parents and sisters.  Lately, I am at my parents’ house at least 2-3 times a week.  Me & my sisters started a tradition a couple of years ago of going out to eat once a week.  It gives us a time to see one another and catch up.

I love sports.  I’m a huge NASCAR fan and a huge fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks.  I’m also a fan of the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, which is a minor league baseball team for the Kansas City Royals.  (This is their first season in NWA.  Prior to 2008, they were in Wichita, KS.)  I also enjoy watching rodeos and professional bull riding.

I love computers.  My job is based around a computer software program called SAP so I’m on the computer all day at work.  I get home from work and immediately turn on the MacBook and then am off & on the computer at night.

I love to take photos.  You can check out my Flickr site to see the photos I’ve taken.

I love music.  I play the piano.  I took lessons for several years, starting when I was in 3rd grade.  I don’t have a piano in my apartment but I still play occassionally at my parents’ house and at church.  My favorite kind of music is country but, if you look at my i-Tunes or CD collection, you will notice that my taste is very varied.

I love to read.  I was a horrible reader in school.  I don’t mean that in a had-problems-reading kind of a way.  It was more a motivation problem.  I can sit and read for hours for fun.  I was horrible at reading a book when it was required for school, though.  My recently read books that I love are The Other Boleyn Girl and the Twilight series.

I’m sure I’ve forgotten to mention something so there may be a Part 2 later in the day.
