		<title>Summer Tales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Well it&#8217;s been a while since I paid any attention to this blog. What can I say? I had a busy Summer! Between my brother and sister-in-law visiting for about 2 months, going out of town every chance we got, getting ready for Romania &#38; Italy and then actually going to Romania &#38; Italy, there just wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fighting the Facebook Addiction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Addiction is a strong word, but I think for many people out there it&#8217;s the right one. Myself included. There, I said it. How did I get here, you might wonder? I will tell you how: step by step. One day at a time, one friend that really isn&#8217;t my friend at a time, one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on the Health Care Bill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days there is no hotter topic than the new Health Care Reform Bill that just passed. It&#8217;s all over the news, websites, blogs, radio - everywhere! I mostly enjoy reading the blogs and than the comments that follow &#8211; and boy, do people have a lot to say on this one!
I am definitely no expert [...]]]></description>

		<title>My trip to the Winter Olympics &#8211; Vancouver 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
[I appologize in advance for the length of this post - I had lots to say!  ]
I was watching the Winter Olympics opening ceremony this last Friday and all I could think was: &#8220;Why am I not over there right now?&#8221; With Vancouver, B.C. being about 6 hours away and a 3 day weekend [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Recommendation: &#8220;A Thousand Splendid Suns&#8221;, by Khaled Hosseini</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently picked up a new book, following a friend&#8217;s recommendation. The book is called &#8221;A Thousand Splendid Suns&#8221;, by Afghan author Khaled Hosseini and was initially published in 2007. It is the author&#8217;s second novel, after his 2003 bestseller &#8220;The Kite Runner&#8221;. I was very impressed with this book.
 
The story follows the tumultuous lives of two Afghan women, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movies &#8211; the good, the bad and the ones you walk out of</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Friday night is my most favorite time of the week. There&#8217;s something about those few short hours after I end my work week, knowing that I have the whole weekend ahead of me to relax and do what ever I want to do&#8230; and it&#8217;s not even Saturday yet! I love that feeling! We usually go [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the bubble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day &#8211; and what a great day it was! We spent the evening with some good friends and after dinner we started talking about our reasons for being thankful this year. Of course we&#8217;re thankful for a lot of things in general &#8211; family, health, jobs etc. &#8211; but I was surprised [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meet Elena</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Elena is a sweet 6 year old girl. She is the definition of the girly girl: she loves her headbands, she sits with her legs crossed, she can never wear enough pink and  loves lace and ruffles. She is also what some people would call &#8220;the perfect child&#8221;: she eats her veggies first and she&#8217;d rather have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facts of life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All Summer long, on my way home from work in the evening, right at my freeway exit, I saw a man. He was there every single night, holding a sign that read something in the lines of &#8220;Homeless and hungry. Anything helps. God bless!&#8221; He would just sit there with a kind of blank stare in [...]]]></description>
