		<description><![CDATA[I am happy. My insides are doing a happy dance. I looked up &#8220;happy dance&#8221; on google images and here is what I found&#8230;

This photo pretty much sums it up.

		<description><![CDATA[I am very happy and proud to say that I now work for lululemon athletica!
I&#8217;ve been researching this company for quite some time and will be joining them for the holidays&#8230;and hopefully beyond. I am excited about this opportunity because I believe it will be a good first step toward my future goals. The first [...]]]></description>

		<title>bittersweet election elation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sit down&#8230;this is a long one.
It was a beautiful, clear day in Los Angeles on November 4th, 2008. We&#8217;d had some rain, so the sky was bright blue with magnificent, white, fluffy clouds that make you want to ride a magic carpet up there. Here is the photo I took right outside my house&#8230;
Beautiful, right?

		<title>dirty martini, with vodka</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here I am as a Dirty Martini&#8230;

By this time my olives were starting to slip, but you get the idea. And R, well, he waited until the last minute to think of a costume, so he became the vodka in my martini. By himself, he looked as if he was half-assing it, but together, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>happy halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, this picture tickles me&#8230;

~~~
For the past several years (ok, like ten) I have used the same costume over and over, mostly because it&#8217;s fun ~ I mean who doesn&#8217;t like an excuse to spend the evening on roller skates? But also because I couldn&#8217;t think of anything I liked better. And Roller Girl elicits [...]]]></description>

		<title>punk&#8217;s not dead, wake up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My brother and I have always had a profound camaraderie; a closeness that is rather inexplicable considering we&#8217;re twelve years apart in age and my memories of him during my youth are spotty at best. We both have trouble accepting the &#8220;norm&#8221; (although he tells me I cope much better than he does), we&#8217;ve both [...]]]></description>

		<title>i&#8217;m in love with Obama</title>

Who knew an election shirt could be so cute? I wish I had thought of it earlier.
One more week&#8230;

		<title>and it was all yellow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my ongoing search for inspiration in new things, I have found that the color yellow is following me around, calling my name from behind, desperately trying to get my attention in order to get me to pause and take her in.
I have to say that yellow has not always been my favorite color, unless [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My parents went kayaking at Mono Lake over the weekend and my Dad took some beautiful photographs. The one below is my favorite. It&#8217;s just so lovely and serene.

I&#8217;d like to go here in my mind&#8230;

		<title>visit to san francisco and other things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend I went to San Francisco, which always makes me happy. I was there for work primarily, but RJ decided to surprise me by driving up with some of his friends to hang out with me. It was short, but sweet&#8230;

We walked up the steepest part of Fillmore St and looked back over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I received a package from my brother with these rad stamps. I bet he didn&#8217;t know they were going to make me soooo happy&#8230;

Thank you for happily allowing me to stay at your place. The only thing I regret is that you won&#8217;t be there&#8230;

		<title>mixing up some lemon-aid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have stayed up until 2am attempting to put the last four years into high impact vocabulary (who knew I did all that?), breathing deeply, choking down tears, allowing for determination to keep my fingers typing and watching Marceau get confused by my erratic emotional behavior.
If you know what&#8217;s going on, then you&#8217;re on the [...]]]></description>

This afternoon, the nightmares that I have been having for the past several weeks during my fitful nights of sleep, came true. I knew it. I could feel it in the air and I could see it in people&#8217;s eyes.
I have been asked to &#8220;cut down hours&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>yoga gives me gas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There. I said it. And I bet I&#8217;m not the only one&#8230;
 Perhaps it&#8217;s an over share, but I find it kind of funny. A yoga class is such a quiet, soft, gentle place and then suddenly I&#8217;m doing a downward dog and a silent little fart often sneaks out. It&#8217;s simultaneously embarassing and amusing. [...]]]></description>

		<title>she understands my rhomboid</title>

rhomboid muscle: rhombus-shaped muscles associated with the scapula and are chiefly responsible for its retraction
Over the past several weeks I&#8217;ve been bouncing around to various yoga studios, classes and teachers hoping [...]]]></description>

		<title>mold.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I rearranged my one bedroom home into a studio&#8230;

Why? Because the ceiling in my bedroom had mold.
mold: noun: a growth of minute fungi forming on vegetable or animal matter, commonly as a downy or furry coating, and associated with decay or dampness.
If you remember, on Labor Day, the ceiling in my bedroom poured water across [...]]]></description>

I feel rather light and giddy inside. The corners of my mouth tickle upward. It happened sometime between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening and the symptoms are still present [...]]]></description>

		<title>beautiful dark mornings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The cool thing about waking up very early in the Fall is that it&#8217;s still dark outside and all is quiet, except for the delicate mew of Marceau wanting his breakfast.
It&#8217;s time for the third yoga class in my new yoga ritual.
I am still in search of the right teacher. There was noone like [...]]]></description>
