		<description><![CDATA[I continue to find reasons (and maybe excuses) for my struggle with weight.
Today I met up with my friend Mary Jane &#8211; a textile artist whose marvelous up cycled sweaters will soon be added to the CB shopping section &#8211; for a delightful rummage through a thrift shop and some breakfast.
I ate about half of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My husband and I celebrated our anniversary tonight. We went to dinner and then visited AMC’s Country Club Hills location to see “Zombieland.” We had, of course, gotten a babysitter for our two young children. We were looking forward to enjoying an ADULT film!
Right before the movie started, a family walked in with three kids. [...]]]></description>

I was thinking about it this morning in light of today’s date and the monstrous significance it has for our country, I am so grateful to be able to drive my son to a practice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My dad called me the other day all excited about an interesting idea he’d had about relationships, that they are like bank accounts. Of course, others have had this thought that we must make deposits into our relationships in order to be able to access “withdrawals.”

		<description><![CDATA[I took my son to see Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs today and it’s so cute! As always, I enjoyed Ray Ramano’s dry sense of humor and the rich voice of Queen Latifah.

We grew up so tight but now I don’t know too much about the lives of my cousins, aunts, grandparents, etc. I do my best to pick up the phone and I get some e-mails now and again but I miss [...]]]></description>

This holiday season has been very stressful for me. Maybe because I have little kids I’ve been thinking back to my own childhood quite a lot. [...]]]></description>

I’ll spare you the details but, suffice it to say &#8211; [...]]]></description>
