		<title>i deserve a 4 day weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This afternoon, I shut down Outlook on my work laptop, vowing not to look at my work email again until Monday morning.  I&#8217;m off this Thursday and Friday, thereby turning my 2 day weekend into a four day weekend - huzzah!  There&#8217;s nothing quite like the prospect of sleeping in and being paid [...]]]></description>

		<title>street hockey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Jim and I returned to college in January, our free time has been a bit fleeting.  We haven&#8217;t gone away for weekend trips (ok, ok, we did spend a week in Amsterdam in January, but that doesn&#8217;t count!) or planned big events and nights out with friends.  Aside from taking Matthew [...]]]></description>

		<title>9 is fine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Matthew is another year older!  10 minutes ago (as I write this at 4:34pm eastern time) and 9 years ago, I huffed and I puffed and I pushed him on out!  As I did last year, I&#8217;m sharing a link to the story of his birth, as well as pictures (non gory / [...]]]></description>

		<title>survivor fans vs. favorites: the end</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am NOT pleased with the outcome of Survivor Fans Vs. Favorites.  Not pleased at all!  I can&#8217;t fathom how Parvati, who obviously only flirted with James to have him keep her safe, and who formed multiple alliances that she broke&#8230;won?  Amanda played an amazing game and really didn&#8217;t screw anyone over. [...]]]></description>

		<title>shoe shopper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a weakness for shoes.  I don&#8217;t go overboard, a la Imelda Marcos, but I do have more shoes than most women I know, and I never turn down a new pair, either.  Now that my oldest daughter is a pre-teen, she&#8217;s falling in shoes like I did at that age, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>a delightful mother&#8217;s day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Mother&#8217;s Day was delightful, aside from waking up before 6am.  We had to have Catherine at her school by 5:45am so that she could leave on her class trip to SeaCamp in the Florida Keys.  Lucky kid!  Once Jim and I got back home, we went back to bed, and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>making summer miserable since 2006</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I mentioned my infamous summer chore chart.  With less than a month to go in the school year, it&#8217;s time for me to revamp last years chart.  Technically, it&#8217;s a list, but I&#8217;m making it into a chart and the kids will need to cross off or check off [...]]]></description>

		<title>the good old days&#8230;of being poor.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m cleaning off my desk, where I&#8217;ve let years worth of crap and months of dust accumulate.  Tucked away in a corner, I found my day planner from 1994, which I&#8217;ve kept all of these years since it&#8217;s got sentimental value.  Inside the planner, I found a pay stub from my job at [...]]]></description>

		<title>my orlando weekend!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re finally firming up our summer vacation plans!
We only have enough time for a quick getaway.  With Jim and I both attending school full time through the summer, and the kids starting back in August, we&#8217;re almost going to be too busy for a vacation.  I think we&#8217;re going to do a cruise, [...]]]></description>

		<title>four survivor blindsides in a row!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Caution:  Survivor spoilers ahead&#8230;avert your eyes if you haven&#8217;t watched last night&#8217;s episode!
After 16 seasons of Survivor, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be going out on a limb when I say that this is the BEST.SEASON.EVER.  The game of Fans Vs. Favorites got off to a slow start, what with Johnny Fairplay dropping out [...]]]></description>
