		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been offered a &#8220;gift&#8221; of a new car.  The string attached, is that the car must seat 5, comfortably.  You know, unlike our MINI Cooper. The last 3 cars we&#8217;ve bought were months and months of research and test driving. I think normal people do it much quicker. This &#8220;gift&#8221; is a race against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, I had the most bizarre experience with a completely unprofessional teacher representing the Los Angeles Unified School District&#8217;s (LAUSD) School Readiness Language Development Program (SRLDP). This mandatory program began this week and runs until June 8th. Parents of Pre-K students must attend the classes or risk having their child removed from Pre-K. As you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month, we got notice that Spring photos would be taken the week before Spring Break. We got the form and tossed it because we were not interested in buying more photos. Imagine my surprise when I picked my child up from school and she had pictures. What you&#8217;re seeing here is an 8&#215;10, 5&#215;7, [...]]]></description>

I got a couple of replies on it today (Whoops! I heard today is the 26th, so I just noticed them today), that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I picked up my 1982 edition of The Family Cookbook Treasury to look for ice cream recipes. I don&#8217;t know how this book made it&#8217;s way into our cookbook collection, but it&#8217;s there. Flipping through the pages, I&#8217;m often left in awe at how utterly disgusting the photos make the food look. Not [...]]]></description>

Running is fine and I&#8217;m proud of myself that I got off my ass and did it, but it still bores me to tears. Months of being unable to run made me reassess how I approach fitness.

		<description><![CDATA[Most people are aware that I enjoy Hidden Object games. Most of them are clever, in that there are intricate puzzles you need to figure out beyond the mundane part of finding items on a list. It seems safe to assume that market research shows that 18 &#8211; 25 year old white women are the [...]]]></description>

I adore days that seemingly last forever.  There is a reason I&#8217;d never move any place where it snows more than one day a winter. Somehow, this winter seems longer than others and I&#8217;m not too happy about that. I could blame [...]]]></description>

From my point of view, life is too short to play bad games just because you can get points that mean and do nothing. Never in a million years did [...]]]></description>
