		<title>Happy birthday, Blueshelled!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started blogging over at blogger.com one year ago today, and moved to blueshelled.com shortly thereafter.  
So, here is to one year of blogging.  One year of making friends in you.  One year of thoughts and giggles, and rants, awards, sponsorships and giveaways.  
Here is to all the thank yous I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The generation gap of cell phones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, my phone rang and something told me not to answer the call.  Not that it was a bill collector, or a survey, or even the pizza guy telling me he couldn&#8217;t deliver for some lame reason that would cause wailing or gnashing of teeth.  No, I&#8217;d been sick since Saturday and [...]]]></description>

		<title>This is your cat on drugs&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our cat, Francis, is nuts.  She acts like a dog by following Leon around where ever he might go.  When she&#8217;s mad she will pummel the garage door and yell what sounds like &#8220;Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeon!  Leeeeeeeeeeeeeon!&#8221; She will also rub on your like you have scent of kitteh all over your body.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vague memories of an Irish pub</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we last left our heroine, she was at an Irish pub in the awful land of Washington, D.C.:  a land full of people with agendas and horribly arranged streets&#8230;
We&#8217;d moved to a larger room in the back of The Dubliner and our group was gaining people like crazy.  By this time, many [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Road Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an introvert, I just don&#8217;t travel well.  I need a lot of sleep and a lot of time to myself.  By that, I mean I need copious amounts of quiet time or I turn into a raging witch who will poke your eyes out if she doesn&#8217;t eat on time or stay [...]]]></description>

		<title>Point taken! Here I am.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a highly exciting weekend at CPAC, and by highly exciting weekend I mean that it will take me a week to get back my sleep, I returned home and am ready to talk about it.  But first, I have to do all of the things that people do when they get home.
Take care [...]]]></description>

		<title>Even Stevens, do you hear me?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, my karma has been on the evil side of bad lately.
Frankly, I knew it was coming.  I&#8217;ve been a bad girl and I was due.  When it came, it came and hit me horribly.  Without going into all the details, life came crashing down and the effects are long-lasting and hard. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Living in a Snow Globe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For 5 days, I have been stuck in my house.
Originally, the tone of this post was going to be about how beautiful and amazing the snow is and about how we only get snow once a year or so and how that is such a shame.  I was going to tell you of my [...]]]></description>

		<title>And now for something serious&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are many things in my life that I am passionate about that I don&#8217;t take the time to write about here.  It isn&#8217;t that I don&#8217;t care enough, it&#8217;s that I understand and am aware that my passions are not the passions of everyone.  And I also know that when people are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loser!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was my first year in the running, but I didn&#8217;t even score in the to 10 hottest mommy bloggers.  As such, I am in mourning.
Really, there are other things going on and school is starting up again, which means I&#8217;ll be back and blogging.  Not even the top 10? Pshaw.

		<title>Happy Birthday AJ!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Wonder of You
When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you&#8217;re always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That&#8217;s the wonder
The wonder of you
And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I&#8217;m a king
Your kiss [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let it snow!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Tennessee, we rarely experience snow.  Our weather doesn&#8217;t fluctuate often and this week we experienced our most extreme temperatures as they dropped down to single digits.  Luckily, this happens, at most, once or twice a year.  We may get snow 2-3 times a year.  As I grew up in Illinois, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new year: Time for change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the new year, there inevitably come some feelings that propel change.  The major one that I think affects most people is the feeling of loss.  Generally, I would say that the loss of time is the one they feel most keenly.  Hence, the influx of weight loss agendas and new year&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
