		<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).

But there are reasons for my size, some of which I can’t help (thx, genetics!). I’ve been thinner, never thin—and to maintain chunky-thin nearly killed me. Twice. The [...]]]></description>

This jives really nicely with the second blog post I&#8217;ve been tinkering at, on saving monies: part deux. Anyway, free classes. On interesting stuff. Really.
