		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, Valentine&#8217;s Day is one of my favorite holidays. To those who think its just a &#8220;Hallmark Holiday&#8221; I say, &#8220;Bah humbug.&#8221; I&#8217;ve liked Valentine&#8217;s Day since I was a kid. I liked Valentine&#8217;s Day when I was single. I like Valentine&#8217;s Day now that I am married.
I remember that in Kindergarten, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear 2010,
Be nice.
No, seriously. Be nice. Your predecessor, 2009? Talk about your evil woman! I say good riddance to her. Don&#8217;t let the champagne cork hit you when you go.
I should be fair and admit 2009 had its good aspects. One of which was my laying the groundwork for the future professionally. And within that, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Christmas, I wrote about there being &#8220;No price to the holidays.&#8221; This year, it felt like all I saw leading up to Christmas was dollar signs&#8230; the cost of living had me down in the dumps and stressed. It seemed like we were on this strange teeter-totter; once I&#8217;d be up, something would come [...]]]></description>

It was a frustrating beginning to the day, when a bid to get some much needed funds to cover a few bills hit a brick wall. We attempted to sell a couple of my husband&#8217;s old keyboards to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think Halloween is a holiday I&#8217;ve grown to enjoy more now as an adult than I did as a kid.
I enjoy giving out candy&#8230; seeing what little ones dress up as. Such a mix of kids!! Witches, reapers, goblins, cops, princesses and penguins to name a few. SO CUTE!

As Christmas drew nearer this year, and the economy started to slump, I grew more and more stressed about how we&#8217;d make it to Oregon. In [...]]]></description>
