		<title>Death does not become me&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate grief. I know, it&#8217;s a natural process. Yeah. Okay. Fine. Doesn&#8217;t make it any more fun for the people struggling through it. And right now I feel like I&#8217;m being knocked over with it. Can&#8217;t open my eyes in the morning without confronting some memory or moment that is hell bent on making [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ah, January&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so it&#8217;s been a while. More than a while. Oregon is still nice. The people are still friendly. I am still crazy. Not much changes around here I guess. A trip to Wales is in the works. Wayne and Deb are getting married in July, so we&#8217;re off to see the wedding and visit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Small town.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like this place. The leaves are turning lovely shades of red and orange. It&#8217;s finally cold enough to wear long sleeves and jeans again. My favorite kind of weather. It&#8217;s raining more often than not, but when it stops everything glistens in the sunshine. We saw a double rainbow the other day during one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drama queen?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, yeah. I am. I admit it. In my defense, though, we only found a place to live in Oregon last Friday &#8211; and we&#8217;re moving this Friday. Stress? Yes. Now I&#8217;m breathing again. Things are calmer. I&#8217;ll try not to descend into madness any more than usual. Really.]]></description>

		<title>Shoes dropping everywhere.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, that&#8217;s me done for now. I hope y&#8217;all are having lovely, peaceful lives out there. No, I&#8217;m not disappearing. Just deciding to keep an even lower profile for now because it seems I dared to allow an inkling of optimism intrude into my writing, not to mention my life, for a brief moment. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abandon ship.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That old sinking feeling is back. The one where I wake up and stare at the window blinds, unable to get back to sleep. Never good. It&#8217;s the feeling of disconnect. The inability to breathe. The horrible wrenching sensation that twists my insides into knots. The knowledge that this is as good as it&#8217;s going [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black holes.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nope. That&#8217;s it. I&#8217;m stuck for inspiration. It&#8217;s been one of those months where things fall apart on a much larger scale than initially anticipated. And there I was, actually thinking things were looking up. Pfffth. So, off to find more gainful employment. Ah&#8230; the hard part. Or, in this case, the harder part. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning Curve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things I’ve learned this week: It’s rude to not return four phone messages during deadline week. Particularly when the person leaving the messages is writing about your business and has to have it in by the end of the week. Making up quotes is never a good idea. (Actually, I knew this already, but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Must start therapy fund. Now.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of the parenting editors in the United States are all atwitter about this Alpha Mom &#8221;trend.&#8221; It&#8217;s an interesting concept. Very East Coast.  It&#8217;s difficult not to notice, however, that this particular Alpha Mom has a team of nannies and babysitters at her beck and call. And that it might behoove her to consider scheduling a little [...]]]></description>
