		<title>2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the first day of 2011 and though I have neglected this blog for some time, I keep it going because I never know when the mood will strike me to post something non-work, non-silly thing-related. In 2010, it was a nice year, until the end when I lost my beloved grandfather. I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Battle of the Audio Canal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past seven days, I&#8217;ve been feeling like I just stepped off the teacups at Disneyland after Andre the Giant shared it with me and spun it off the rails. To say remaining upright is a challenge is an understatement. When I was pregnant with my daughter, instead of morning sickness, I often felt [...]]]></description>

		<title>I haven&#8217;t written in a while</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sad to say this blog has sort of fallen by the wayside with the advent of things like Posterous, Twitter, Facebook and various other social media things I&#8217;m involved in. These days, when I have a passing thought I want to release into the wild, I end up doing it on Facebook or Twitter. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh crikey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just looked at the date of my last post here and felt an immediate sense of guilt. Sheesh What&#8217;s happened since I got to hear my awesome daughter sing? Probably the biggest thing is I wrote a book. Yup! Years and years of wishful novel-writing and I finally stopped talking about it and did [...]]]></description>

		<title>A lovely treat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I got to hear my daughter sing. I know to some that may not sound like a big deal, but for me, it is. She usually pleads shyness whenever I ask her to sing. Whether I&#8217;m belting out music in the car or just bopping around the house, she gets all shy and reticent. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Balancing act</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m trying to balance being a good parent who lets their child leave the nest, and a starting-to-worry parent who hasn&#8217;t heard from her child in an unusual amount of time right now. I know what you&#8217;ll say. &#8220;C&#8217;mon Steph, she&#8217;s all grown up now and probably just busy with her college life stuff. Cut [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may not know it from this blog, but I&#8217;m pretty active online. The problem is, I&#8217;m active in a bunch of different places, like Twitter, Facebook, Posterous, Audioboo, Twitvid, twitpic etcetera, etcetera. (And shameless plug, but I&#8217;ve started a new website with my honey called Doodurls. What the hell is that? We thought it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Next Phase</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I helped my daughter move into her dorm room. She&#8217;s a college girl now. *sniffle* She&#8217;s been so excited, so nervous, and stressed and bouncy&#8230; It&#8217;s been amazing to watch her get her stuff together and plan and talk to her roommate-to-be and well, she&#8217;s just simply amazing. Because I&#8217;m me, here&#8217;s some pix [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catching up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It occurs to me that I have been neglecting this blog. This blog that I have had since before Google owned Blogger. This blog that has been through so many changes, both cosmetic and in focus. That&#8217;s just it though, I&#8217;ve never found a focus for this blog. It&#8217;s just been my catchall for my [...]]]></description>
