		<description><![CDATA[Since last weekend, I&#8217;ve had dogs and cats on the brain. Chewing on the different approaches of the two animals, I realized you could easily take those dynamics and apply them to employee interactions in an office setting.
Are you a dog or are you a cat?  I don&#8217;t mean which one do you prefer; I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This last weekend I had both a dog and a cat in my house. Growing up, I always considered myself a &#8220;dog person&#8221; with a dislike for cats. That dislike probably came more from others not liking cats than any real opinion of my own, because once I got my first cat&#8230; I began to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a few things I &#8220;hate.&#8221;  Liver is one of those things. Red Raiders and Longhorns are two other things. (*grin*) I&#8217;m not even fond of making phone calls. (THAT is a blog post in and of itself!) But one thing I REALLY don&#8217;t like is going to the doctor.

The ones you wonder if they are writing about you or a term paper. Why do they have to do that in public? How&#8230; pretentious!

So in honor of the day, a look at the number 13.

Taylor Swift&#8217;s lucky number. [mtv]
The first of the teens.
A movie that came out on March 13 of this year. [imdb]
If written too close together, can look like the letter B.

First off, summer is a blessing and a curse being married to a musician. It&#8217;s a time when my husband is gone the most on the road, as summer [...]]]></description>

I still remember one of the first times I got to mow the lawn. Yes, I said &#8220;got to&#8221; as opposed to &#8220;had to&#8221; because it [...]]]></description>

I was immediately struck by how much my desk screamed about me. (And similarly, in hindsight, what my husband&#8217;s desk says about him. But that&#8217;s neither here nor there [...]]]></description>
