		<title>i don’t mind being poor, but i hate being embarrassed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[one of the convenient things about where i work is that it’s near a supermarket, walking distance really, but i always drive because there’s no sidewalk.
i can do the grocery shopping at lunchtime if need be or just run in and pick up a few items.  that’s what i did last week, i ran in [...]]]></description>

		<title>And That Stinks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a beef, or complaint, to pick with the garbage men and their trucks that roll down my street at five in the morning.  During the week, I am awake by 5 a.m., so I’m not usually bothered by something or someone interrupting my sleep that I don’t mind or welcome.
I’m somewhat of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>I May Be Ignorant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunday.  Early afternoon.
The phone rings.  In the time it takes me to walk to the phone and check the Caller ID, I flip through my mental contact list and try to guess who is calling.  It’s a quizzical game I play with myself, just for fun.
I did not recognize the number, but I answer it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Justify My Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m almost afraid to discuss this in public, as I feel like I have been blacklisted.
Here’s what happened.
It was a casual trip to the pet store, I went alone and wasn’t expecting to walk out with an animal, but I was there to look.  I asked the woman from the shelter what the procedure was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Staycation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Guess what people? When I leave work on Thursday, I will officially be on vacation for 10 days and I’m not even fired, yet.
Do. The. Macarana.
This is a stay-at-home vacation, or a staycation, you know the place you pay tons of money to maintain, but are never there to enjoy it. Yeah that place.
I’m a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Six Degrees of Seperation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m off the wagon, in a manner of speaking.
Isn’t it funny how we can use an expression and associate the correct meaning, but never query its origin, how it came about.   As a future Jeopardy hopeful, I like knowing that Pebbles Flintstone was born on February 22, 10,000 B.C. or that Barbie’s (yes the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kiss My Converse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite movies &#8211; minus the few violent scenes and the offensive language &#8211; is The Last Dragon.  Yes I’m a girl and don’t normally enjoy watching martial art movies, but I like this one and have seen it at least 40, if not 50, times.  That’s no exaggeration.
In Berry Gordy’s The Last [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;d Rather We Got Liquor Stores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going to post this last night, but since I wasn’t feeling well, I slid my laptop under my bed and went to sleep.  I hope that darn Mother of All Bacteria is gone; I just popped the last pill this morning. I don’t want to be sick once more.
On a positive note, my [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Not Like Riding A Bike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was my first day back in the gym in over 10 days and good thing because I&#8217;ve been eating everything not nailed down to the kitchen table.  I think my bronchitis came with a tape worm.  Seriously, my appetite has been insatiable and somehow I&#8217;ve been able to maintain my weight, despite the over [...]]]></description>
