		<title>Lush Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life is good. Theo is hilarious and exhausting. He spent the evening dragging his wheeled suitcase around the house, whispering &#8220;I am searching for sick animals. I will help them.&#8221; Then he bossed us around and had a time out for arguing about bedtime (again) and told me he wanted to rub noses with me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rudely Interrupted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The stories of bad manners over at Jonniker&#8217;s post are apt to curl your hair. Rudeness abounds, apparently, particularly among our families-in-law and surrounding special occasions. The combination of the two &#8211; weddings! &#8211; is a powder keg, especially because it involves gift-giving and catering and lots and lots of money. Soliciting gifts! Proffering laxatives [...]]]></description>

		<title>All I Ever Wanted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We spent last week in Los Angeles. Our vacation was well timed, taking into account the early summer doldrums of cloudy/rainy Oregon, the end of a busy work period, and the cabin fever that I begin to experience when my little nuclear family hasn&#8217;t been out of town together in almost a year. Three days [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Winner!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our Oscar Pool winner is&#8230; KENDRA with 17 correct picks out of 24. As she pointed out in comments, she came in near the bottom of the pack last year, so if you feel like you suck at this, never fear, a comeback could be nigh! The final results: Kendra &#8211; 17 Sandi &#8211; 15 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Besties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More Bests: Blog find of the year: Penelope Trunk, to whom I&#8217;ve linked multiple times here, wrote posts that consistently stuck with me for their bravery and insight. The first few times I read her, I thought she was just blogging about networking and Gen Y and blah blah blah. But I was wrong. Challenge: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Frog of 2009 and the Sex Pistols</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Best Restaurant Moment of 2009: Jeff and I had a fantastic meal at Daniel Boulud in Las Vegas. I don&#8217;t even remember what I ate, but I do remember that it was delicious and I was wearing something cute and we sat with a view of the Wynn water feature. And the best moment was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Of</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This month, I&#8217;m going to write about my best moments of 2009. It was quite a year. Best Trip: Our life was all about travel for so long, we&#8217;d become experts at hotel sleeping and bag packing and hellos and goodbyes. So when we moved back to Portland, we plunked down our suitcases, heaved a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bad Hair AND Bad Socks Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This series has somehow expanded from Bad Hair photos to Embarrassing In Every Way photos. You can thank me later. I know you&#8217;re wondering which person in this picture is me. I&#8217;m the one on the right who apparently hasn&#8217;t had a haircut in three or four months, who carefully matched her socks to her [...]]]></description>
