		<description><![CDATA[Yes, we moved to our little community&#8217;s downtown, however, we&#8217;re not done moving. We partially moved. We have been making those trips between houses in an attempt to be &#8220;all the way moved,&#8221; but haven&#8217;t achieved that status just yet. As we empty room after room, closet after closet, we find ourselves faced with the [...]]]></description>

The doubling was great for those that contract with me to do the [...]]]></description>

I thought I was going to get to be out there with him, but alas, I was passed up once again by the decision makers. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I have a few moments to relax at my son&#8217;s middle school concert band performance. I love sitting back and letting the music wash over my raw nerves and over-taxed mental state. It is like a mini-vacation. I&#8217;d say more, but it is almost curtain time, and our band directors have a strict no-cell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I apologize for slacking off on my blogging efforts. In my defense, I have been working 10 hour days, helping Hubby get our new house move-in ready, assisting my youngest house-break his dog and handling the usual day-to-day chores. I decided to use half-time at my youngest&#8217;s championship basketball game to post a new blog [...]]]></description>

The Saints won despite the many texts she and I sent back and forth throughout the game. Meanwhile, my favorite commercial was the Snickers commercial with Betty White. Coming in a close second was the Doritos commercial with [...]]]></description>

It MUST, therefore, be baseball season. As the temperature drops in my car, I can&#8217;t help but feel a twinge of excitement. As I wait for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow! I never would have guessed how much I&#8217;d absolutely LOVE doing minor renovations on an old house. We just bought a house that&#8217;s nearly 100 years old. Some work needed to be done before we move in. We&#8217;re ripping out cabinets, rebuilding storage spaces, painting and such. The work has to be done after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am proud of the fact that I find an hour a day, 3 to 6 days a week to work out on my cross-country-type exercise machine when I&#8217;m at home. When I&#8217;m traveling for work, I do my best to carve out time in the hotel&#8217;s gym. Right now, the hotel in which I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

It is so nice to be able to call the little guy or refer to him by something more concrete than &#8220;little guy&#8221; or &#8220;cutie&#8221; or &#8220;wittle bitty puppy.&#8221;. Meanwhile, the other pets in the house are getting used to having the new guy around. So &#8220;used to&#8221; [...]]]></description>
