		<description><![CDATA[I know, I know.  For most of the country, the highly coveted season began a few weeks ago.  And technically speaking, so it did in my neck of the woods.  But, I have learned to define &#8220;summer&#8221; a bit differently.  My definition is based on a couple of years of experience, of being the recipient [...]

I fully recognize that it&#8217;s been what feels like ages since I&#8217;ve posted, but, believe it or not, things have been a tad bit harried around this house.  We&#8217;ve had last-minute cardboard beauty parlors to build (thank you very much for the head&#8217;s up on that one, Avery), teacher&#8217;s gifts to purchase, allergies [...]

I have previously posted regarding my distaste for resolutions.  In my opinion, they are not even in the same league as goals. The difference?  It&#8217;s taken me approximately 25 years [...]
