		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m officially FUCT (like it? I just thought of it)&#8211;a freelance, urban, cat-owning thirty-something.* Yes, going full-frontal freelance, instead of just dabbling as I have over the years (since the first dot-com boom left me gobsmackingly underemployed and staring down the face of bills). This time**, I&#8217;ve sat down and written myself a business plan, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I haven&#8217;t been updating this much—neither because I&#8217;ve forgotten it nor for lack of things going on in life, but mostly because this year has turned into a year of mysteriously rapid personal growth for me. It&#8217;s lovely, because in many, many ways, I&#8217;ve been stuck in a rut of the soul (or the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, the weekend&#8217;s over already. I&#8217;ve mostly avoided the internet. Barely checked email, did not twitter (twat?), no Facebook.  I did almost no writing, either. Instead, I celebrated Frank&#8217;s birthday, ate salted caramel ice cream, hung out with Jamie, watched movies, hung out with my husnamd, read, ate pizza, hung out with my dad, knitted, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was a child, my dad was a Star Trek guy (I’ve referred to this before. He loves the original series and shakes his head in disgust at my preference to The Next Generation). Anyway, I have lots of happy memories attached to Star Trek and all the movies from the original series, and [...]]]></description>

It’s cheap, they are really awesome, and my husband’s BFF is the lead (plus, he’s hot and single*):     2. This year is the year I need to get into shape, and since I [...]]]></description>

Love them so much. They listened to me rant about Steampunk and helped me develop what I hope will take off as the newest sub-genre [...]]]></description>

Emails, phone messages, projects where I can&#8217;t even find the threads I dropped to go on said crisis-induced vacation&#8230;I don&#8217;t even know where I am today. Do I just wipe the slate clean and just pretend all that&#8217;s piled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since getting home from Clarion West, all I&#8217;ve done (figuratively) is shuffle around, stare at things, and scratch my belly. Part of that is the shock of readjusting, part of that is exhaustion, and part of that is unadulterated self-indulgence. I&#8217;ve come to understand that while I like to view myself as a free spirit [...]]]></description>
