There’ll be lots to write about once we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m starting to wonder if I’m becoming high maintenance. Have I gradually turned into a diva over the last number of years without knowing it?
It used to be pretty easy for me to keep on top of myself and my life. But as I was entering appointments into my new online calendar, I noticed there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been driving for almost 20 years. Wow, I feel old just writing that, but shockingly, it’s true. 
Anyway, when I was growing up, my parents always owned standard transmission vehicles, so when it came time for me to learn how to drive, that’s what I learned on. 
At the time, I was pretty annoyed [...]]]></description>

I feel butterflies in my stomach. My hands get clammy. My face gets red. My heart starts to pound and my pulse starts to race. And it gets progressively worse until the plane is in the air and the captain turns off the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To quit or not to quit &#8211; that is the question.
Now it may seem like I am talking about smoking or something like that here, but I&#8217;m actually not. What my dilemma is really centered around is what to do about my personal training sessions.

For the last 14 months or so, I&#8217;ve been regularly working [...]]]></description>

And when I get winter-stressed, I start my annual quest for the perfect comfort snack that will take the troubles away and make life good [...]]]></description>

What I&#8217;m talking about is the Happy New Year-induced chaos and craziness at the gym. 
We all know January is the month of new beginnings, the time [...]]]></description>

At about 830 yesterday morning, our power went out. It came as a bit of a surprise &#8211; although it shouldn&#8217;t have given the howling winds outside &#8211; because in the three years we&#8217;ve lived [...]]]></description>

At first I thought I was imagining things, but because I had time to kill before my hair appointment, I decided to investigate. As I rounded the corner and came to the &#8220;get your picture taken with Santa&#8221; booth, I couldn&#8217;t believe my eyes. [...]]]></description>
