		<title>an easy reference guide for dealing with pregnant women</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things NOT to say to a pregnant woman carrying twins.

You look gigantic. Are you do this month? (Now the mom-to-be fears she is carrying amazon children.)

You look tiny. You're a peanut. (Now the pregger mom fears she is carrying midgets.)

Your belly looks pointy, like a dart. (The mom doesn't know what to think. Now she's anxious that she doesn't even know what to worry about.)]]></description>

		<title>who needs a couples therapist when you have the marriage ref?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because I've been wondering what Jerry Seinfeld has been doing for the past 12 years (other than figuring out where to park all his cars in Manhattan), I decided to check out "The Marriage Ref."]]></description>

		<title>our war with the tot clock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like thanks to some kind of new wireless tech thing in our home.... when I take some pictures on my digital camera and walk in the house, the photos are automatically uploaded to our computer, sent to Shutterfly and delivered to my husband's email inbox.

I mean what the heck happened to a little privacy for the lady of the house?

		<description><![CDATA[Listen, I LOVE the Olympics. But I need my life back. I no longer want to be up at midnight, teary-eyed over a medal ceremony. I want "Gossip Girl, "Project Way" and "Modern Family."  I no longer wish to be inspired by television but only somewhat entertained.]]></description>

		<title>awkward moments in my life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing about public restrooms is ideal.

Take our recent trip to Cape Cod -  we stop at a local coffee shop so I can use the bathroom. I swing open the door to the ladies' room and there indeed is a lady sitting on the toilet right in front of me. No squatting for this girl. She looks at me. I look at her. ]]></description>

		<title>cape cod is a nice place to retire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday, we headed to Cape Cod for my dad's surprise retirement party.

Frankly I wanted to find out what he was doing with his new found freedom other than consistently sending me Calvin &#038; Hobbs cartoons from Go Comics. Can you make a day of Calvin &#038; Hobbs? My dad can.]]></description>

		<title>i don&#8217;t think this is what the go-go&#8217;s meant by a vacation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trip to see old dinosaur bones. Done.

Showed girls Olympic pair skating. They were delighted. Showed girls Olympic curling competition. We were all confused. Check.

		<title>look for us at the sochi winter games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rick and I have decided that in all likelihood we will become Olympic pair skaters. Now he wants us to skate together so that some other man wearing a flashy, sparkly jumpsuit doesn't have his hand supporting my lady parts during the lifts.

I, on the other hand, think we should have different partners because can you imagine skating with your spouse? And they fall? When your in medal contention? How do you work that out in therapy?]]></description>

		<title>a new trainer in town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Contributing Mama Erin Butler
I hate working out. I am not even going to dance around that statement. It’s pure hatred. I dread it. I count the seconds until it’s over and have been pretty good about avoiding it.
Until now. I find myself in the worst shape of my life, wondering how a few years [...]]]></description>
