		<title>How To Make Your Head Explode.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Step 1:  Have a 12 year old girl.
Step 2:  Resist the begging, pleading, whining and cajoling for 1st day of school SKINNY JEANS during the 80+ degree months of August and September.   Assure her of the purchase once the weather dips slightly, or November. Whichever comes first.
Step 3:  Succumb to the full-price jeans in a moment of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=automatic7.wordpress.com&blog=3559743&post=1131&subd=automatic7&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>CandyFest 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My college friend JGlam and her most excellent possie drove about an hour from &#8220;Suffick&#8221;  to our &#8216;hood this weekend for the TrickyTreatn&#8217;est Halloween to date in VB.  With temps in the high 70s it was a delightfully awesome evening outside with no less than 3 full-on haunted garages on our block!

There&#8217;s a rule in VB that 13 is &#8220;too old&#8221; to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=automatic7.wordpress.com&blog=3559743&post=1119&subd=automatic7&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Below is my Twitter Tutorial.  But first, a brief history&#8230;
It took me a while to jump on the facebook  bandwagon.  Some people at work had it and kept sending me emails to &#8220;be their friend.&#8221;  I was under the impression we were already friends, what with all the lunches and cohortedness and hand-holding prayers on a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=automatic7.wordpress.com&blog=3559743&post=1112&subd=automatic7&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Tooth Fairy, Shmooth Flairy</title>

		<title>Piecing together the Promises</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wished for a neon sign?  Or wanted God to just SPELL it OUT?
Yeah.  Me too.

So then He did.
Today I&#8217;ve been in the 3rd floor copy room working on this weekend&#8217;s K-1 lesson on how God Hears Me.  One of the tasks I am currently tackling is making 4 &#8220;promise&#8221; banners to replace [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=automatic7.wordpress.com&blog=3559743&post=1093&subd=automatic7&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago was the weekend &#8221;The Locals Take Back The Oceanfront&#8221; otherwise known as Neptune Festival.   I almost didn&#8217;t make it this year to see the sand sculptures until I volunteered to babysit Sunday night for the 4 month old of our Youth Leaders.  I was pretty sure she wouldn&#8217;t ask for a $8.00 drink and then [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=automatic7.wordpress.com&blog=3559743&post=1076&subd=automatic7&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>No Phone Booth Necessary</title>

splinter &#8212; Of course I&#8217;m thinking of the ouchie tiny piece of wood that gets in your hand or finger.  I was probably about 13 the first time I got brave enough to operate on my very own hand using a straight pin sterilized by [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=automatic7.wordpress.com&blog=3559743&post=1059&subd=automatic7&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Skinny Dipping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes it&#8217;s true.   This summer I began an almost daily habit of Skinny Dipping. 

Oddly enough, it&#8217;s one thing that has made me feel like Virginia Beach is now home. 
Kinda like a Tim Horton&#8217;s mocha, plain bagel, toasted with strawberry cream cheese in Ypsilanti.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Or a chocolate covered frozen banana (with nuts) at Dairy King in Plymouth.
Or hot Krispy Kremes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=automatic7.wordpress.com&blog=3559743&post=1045&subd=automatic7&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I did this summer:
Got a puppy.
How have I not written about this yet?  It is a great tale of suspense, deception, manipulation, and ultimately,  victory.
About this time last year, older 2 were starting at the Middle School.    Wise, mature, 7th grade girl often sat on the right side of the bus where she could [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=automatic7.wordpress.com&blog=3559743&post=1037&subd=automatic7&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
