		<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 [...]]]></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.
But [...]]]></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 her [...]]]></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 would [...]]]></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 and [...]]]></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 life. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Melia goes to Washington</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is for my family, friends and anyone else who might care to follow along as I head off to DC to celebrate my daughter&#8217;s 18th birthday, and see the city, and watch the fireworks on the Mall. I will be tweeting, twitpiccing and audiobooing. For those of you who don&#8217;t bother with Twitter or [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Return of Ficly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ficly (formerly &#8220;Ficlets&#8221;) is back &#8211; and better than ever.
I wouldn&#8217;t have used this description over a year ago, but Ficly is like Twitter for fiction writers. And like Twitter, there is great freedom in restraint.
A long time ago, I followed a link recommendation from Wil Wheaton, which brought me to the most wonderful, awesome [...]]]></description>
