		<title>Chaos Out, Chaos In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If anyone ever wants to get a snapshot of my state of mind, all they have to do is look at my desk or in my kitchen sink. I&#8217;m going to reveal the utterly embarrassing condition of things at the moment:
Take a wild guess at the state of my brain&#8230;
Terrifying, isn&#8217;t it?
Tune in tomorrow to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Girl with the Yellow Suitcase</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been 10 months, today, since Jamie died and I still feel every facet of the grief like a cloak that, no matter how hard I try, I just can&#8217;t seem to shed.
I was leaving a comment on someone&#8217;s blog yesterday and became curious to know more about some of the other commentors with whom [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blooming Mondays: March 08, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some days start a little later than others, and it can feel like you&#8217;re already behind the curve. Don&#8217;t let that convince you to toss the day away. You can make an impact on someone or something in a single moment, a split-second.
It isn&#8217;t more time we need, but more clarity.



Share the pleasure!

		<title>One Week Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s been one week since I opened my Etsy shop, and I&#8217;ve already made two sales! It&#8217;s so exciting and humbling. The support and encouragement I&#8217;ve received has been unbelievable and I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude and glee. I have a feeling this is going to be an awesome ride, full of challenges, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Award Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Academy Awards are tonight. I know this because the helicopters have already started hovering overhead and various street closures have added to the normal traffic pretzel for days now. I will attend a viewing party tonight where I will judge emaciated women&#8217;s wardrobe choices and cry as stars thank their agents for actually earning [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music and Timing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met one of the OK Go guys outside a pizza joint a few months back. Hopefully, we&#8217;ll meet again because I MUST ask him how many takes it took to create this AMAZING video. PLEASE take a moment to honor this feat of imagination, patience, irreverence, and glee.

Doesn&#8217;t it just make you want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Post Box Escape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh heavens, my lovelies, I just got the most gorgeous catalogue in the mail today! I don&#8217;t normally receive catalogues, and I have no idea how this one ended up with my name on it, but I&#8217;m ever so happy to have received it. It is from a British company called Toast, which specializes in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just spent a week in Boston to help out my newly pregnant, severely nauseous, and head-cold-suffering sister-in-law keep tabs on my adorable, brilliant and exuberant 2-1/2 year old niece while my brother was out of town. It has been one of the most delightful, simple and exhausting weeks of my life.
Having spent my entire [...]]]></description>

		<title>Suede and Velvet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I think of paintings on suede or velvet, images of Vegas and Elvis usually come to mind. Not that I spend much time thinking about paintings on suede and velvet. But I stumbled across an artist recently who made me pause and reevaluate my assumptions about what suede art, in particular, can be.

		<title>Opening Up Shop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who is visiting my homepage today will notice a new badge in my sidebar. It&#8217;s my oh-so-subtle way of letting everyone know I JUST OPENED UP AN ETSY SHOP! I decided to send this wee announcement out as well, because I&#8217;m just so damn excited, and anxious, and a whole gamut of other emotions. [...]]]></description>
