		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard for me to spring forward when I&#8217;m so far behind.  Especially on this blog!   So here&#8217;s the rest of the story about the concert: When we last saw each other (insert link there), we had the worst seats I had ever sat in at a concert.  Shortly after posting that, a couple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are some random thoughts for today. 1) I don&#8217;t know why I have nothing to blog about. I mean, Jive Turkey even tagged me to do this alphabet thingy (yes, JT, I will post my favorite &#8220;p&#8221; things soon; I don&#8217;t know why I haven&#8217;t, actually, since I even wrote a list), yet my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Again, yikes worthy, but better to see you with, my dear. As I mentioned in my previous post, I had an eye infection that caused me to wear my glasses for two weeks. I also had to put drops in my eyes every two hours for four days and then four times a day after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yikes. OK, I couldn&#8217;t get a good shot, but that&#8217;s me wearing my glasses (I cropped out the rest of my face; you&#8217;re welcome). I woke up a few weeks ago with a ton of pain in my eye, took out my contacts, and have been wearing my glasses ever since. For almost two weeks. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I work as a proofreader. Please don&#8217;t confuse this with being an editor. There are many editors here who can help remind you that we proofreaders are on the bottom of the writing totem pole. Especially me. In my long tenure here, I&#8217;ve worked with many people who want to be writers. I&#8217;d also guess [...]]]></description>

But, since I&#8217;m sitting here at the airport in Florida waiting to go back home, I figured now would be a great time to write something. I started writing something on the plane here, and I actually wrote it. In a notebook. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1) Bad drivers. Why do you drive so far under the speed limit? If the limit is 55 mph, I expect to be going at least 60, not 40. And why don&#8217;t you turn on your lights when it&#8217;s raining? And it&#8217;s a MERGE lane, not a come-to-a-complete-stop lane. 2) When people move my stuff [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1) Working full-time and still being broke. 2) Hygiene confusion: Why do so many women at work brush their teeth 900 times a day but can&#8217;t seem to remember to use soap to wash their hands? 3) Spanish. Except for the word for retirement: jubilación. Those Spanish speakers got that one right. 4) Being able [...]]]></description>

At work, the last person to have a birthday is responsible for the next person&#8217;s birthday; that person must supply the card, the small gift, and the food. JM&#8217;s birthday was [...]]]></description>

And after work and on the weekends, I go for a run (well, a run, or a jog, which turns into my walking and telling myself &#8220;you can walk this block and [...]]]></description>
