		<title>Winter Madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whoops, I sort of took a month off there, didn&#8217;t I?  It wasn&#8217;t intentional and it wasn&#8217;t one of those unexplained-breaks-that-clearly-indicate-pregnancy-breakup-depression-drama-bookdeals.  I&#8217;m not pregnant, I haven&#8217;t broken up with anyone, I&#8217;m not depressed and I certainly don&#8217;t have a book deal.  I might, however, have a touch of the winter madness, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On New Year&#8217;s Eve 1999 I went to work in the morning, planning on working close to a full day before spending the evening with my newish boyfriend (spoiler: I married and then divorced him).  I got to work feeling fine, started coughing around 9:30 and by 11:00 was home in bed with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Waiting for Snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day I realized I was getting a divorce &#8211; months after separating but still mired in What Are We Doing &#8211; I left work early because I could not stop crying.  I collected myself as best I could and took the subway uptown, stopping at Gracious Home where I wandered the downstairs kitchenware [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Extent of My Decorating, Thus Far</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was six my brother M. and I were playing in the downstairs rooms of our then-house.  My mother was upstairs (on the phone, in our memory) and we were playing hide and seek or tag or maybe even just &#8216;Unattended Children&#8217; and we opened up the door to what was used as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Complimentary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a part of me that loves the stress and drama of holiday travel, the hustle and exasperation and story-topping complaints, the very sturm und drang of it all.  That part of me, however, is perfectly happy to spend the day before Thanksgiving with nary a care in the world and a glass of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lucky Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I&#8217;m not one to necessarily go around claiming that there are two kinds of people in the world, I kind of think there is something to the notion that certain people are just lucky (and conversely, some of us are not).  I don&#8217;t know if people are born lucky or if they are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Internet,</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;I&#8217;ve been neglecting you.  
Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s not you, it&#8217;s me.  I&#8217;m fine, I&#8217;ve just been distracted by, oh&#8230;this:

Happy Autumn internet!  I hope you are well.  I promise to write more soon, but in the meantime, go read Doxie (who is back) and The Trephine (who I just discovered), because whenever [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dog Tired</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been a good sleeper but in the past six or seven years I&#8217;ve become a downright bad sleeper.  Getting a dog probably contributed (because there have been all manner of sleeping arrangements, from crates to the floor to my bed to under my covers to back on the floor to pacing around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raising a Glass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although I am far from a minimalist, I am not someone who enjoys Stuff.  I purge my closet (too) frequently, I hate clutter, I strive for tidy and organized spaces.  (Strive = constantly stacking and re-stacking things on coffee table; obsessively wiping down kitchen floor with Method wipes)  I am not a [...]]]></description>

		<title>All the Small Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have had writer&#8217;s block for so long that I can&#8217;t even pretend that I have writer&#8217;s block anymore; I&#8217;m just not writing.  I flopped and moaned and pouted my way through August and used, &#8216;But it&#8217;s August&#8217; as an excuse well into September.  And then suddenly it was October and have no [...]]]></description>
