		<description><![CDATA[My stomach has been a wreck for the last two weeks. It started after I ate my breakfast/lunch burger two weeks ago &#8211; it was a leftover that I had grilled the day before, with fresh meat, so I can&#8217;t imagine it had gone bad. Maybe. Anyway, I had the worst stomach cramps that day, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted much this week due to a visit from Phil&#8217;s mother. We have a weird relationship. It is not that I do not like her, which is the stereotypical mother in law relationship. In fact I like her very much. It is more like I am completely intimidated by her. To me so [...]]]></description>

		<title>home decor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we moved from Texas to Colorado, we left most of our furniture behind. A lot of it was hand me downs and stuff that one of us had &#8220;inherited&#8221; &#8211; not much was our actual style and it served mostly functional purposes, but not fashion. It was kind of cool to build the living [...]]]></description>

		<title>blogs and twitters to follow?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I would like to find some good blogs and twitters to follow. Some that are about art, shopping, design, letterpress, printmaking, etc. Or cooking and stuff. Any ideas?

		<title>my awesome weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s new? bike &#8211; got the headlight and tail light installed. The headlight is pretty bright, but the strobe effect is seizure causing. I wasn&#8217;t really getting it to see, but more to be seen, while riding at night. Now we have no excuses (except helmets) not to ride bikes down to the pub for [...]]]></description>

		<title>friday miscellaneous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I gave up on the white helmet. I decided to get this pink helmet, and white dots. I talked to like 10 different online shops and no one had the vanilla sky helmet in small &#8211; sad. First time I&#8217;ve ever wished my head was just a bit bigger. I also bought Phil a sharkskin [...]]]></description>

		<title>I just looove spending money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After agonizing trying to find the best helmet, ever, in the whole world, deciding on the white matte bell faction helmet, which I can&#8217;t find in my size, like, anywhere, I found this cute nutcase ivory colored helmet and decided to get it &#8211; of course it&#8217;s sold out. Of course it is. Why wouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>yay, socks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After my last post about socks I became fevered and insane, and ordered four new pairs of striped socks. I am afraid this is only the start of my madness. Will no one help me? Super Juicy &#8211; Good standard rainbow sock. Very cute. Portland Stripes &#8211; these look good but I haven&#8217;t tried them [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Urbanism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is copied from my tumblr dated May 20, 2010, shortly before we moved from TX to Co. Have you heard of New Urbanism? It’s kind of like walkable suburbs. We have a couple of new urban developments in Austin, notably the Domain area, which is a huge super expensive shopping mall with condos over [...]]]></description>

		<title>walkability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First I wanted to link this article at the Harvard Business Review about walkability &#8211; The Unintended Consequences of Cul-de-sacs. They have included this comparison map, the one on the left is a suburb of Seattle, the right is an urban neighborhood in Seattle. I mentioned before the futility of biking in our TX suburb.
