		<title>My Sister&#8217;s Keeper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

When a book is really good, you don&#8217;t want to give it back. You want to  hold onto it&#8217;s characters and the story like it is your own life. That  is the way, unlike Almost Moon, that I felt about My Sister&#8217;s Keeper. Another borrowed novel from my best friend Belle, I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heirloom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Tomatoes are by far one of my favorite foods, and lately cherry or grape tomatoes, which I cut up and put into all sorts of everything.
Try one of our favorite dishes for these little guys. While your favorite pasta is cooking (linguine is good and I like DaVinci&#8217;s Flowers a lot), fry up some grape [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taste of Madison</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I refuse to accept that it is Fall in Madison, because that means Winter is on it&#8217;s way. But yesterday Fall was trying real hard and it was a beautiful crisp and cold day for the Taste of Madison. I was a bit under the weather, but after being a hermit all day, I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zuchinni &amp; Almond Pasta Salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

What are you doing for the labor day weekend? Ryan and I are going to have a staycation for once since we&#8217;ve been doing so much traveling and have more to come this month. I&#8217;m really looking forward to kicking back and cozying up with a good book. If you&#8217;ll be running around, here&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Visit Paddy&#8217;s at Misqaumicut Beach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Before celebrating Barbara&#8217;s birthday, we all came to the Misquamicut Beach on Rhode Island to relax. So if you ever find yourself there, you absolutely must go to Paddy&#8217;s. Besides having some of best lobster risotto ever, they also serve drinks in these delightful glasses&#8230; that you get to keep! I can&#8217;t wait to use [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celebrating a 60th Birthday!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was Ryan&#8217;s mom&#8217;s 60th birthday last week (hi, Barbara!) and we went to Connecticut to celebrate. His father Jack threw a huge party in Barbara&#8217;s honor, but I managed to sneak in these photos in the calm before all the guests arrived of just the Healy family and some neighbor kids.
Party preparations:

		<title>Concert on the Square</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Concert on the Square is over for the summer but is a favorite tradition in Madison. The chance to be quiet , to talk , to be with each other face-to-face, not have to talk if you don&#8217;t want to or can&#8217;t &#8211; the chance to listen, to indulge in a bottle of wine, cheese [...]]]></description>

		<title>Women Don’t Need Exposure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tech Crunch founder Michael Arrington argued in “Too Few Women in Tech? Stop Blaming Men” that he and other men already do plenty for women: he has a female CEO, two out of four of his senior editors are women, and he begs and pleads for women to speak at his conferences.
Arrington’s counter-point, an article [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Night Movie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ryan and I are easily entertained, so movie critics we are not. However, it&#8217;s rare that he will admit to liking chick flicks (even though he will chuckle and hold me tight at all the right parts). But we both really enjoyed New York, I Love You.
I wasn&#8217;t expecting much (I guess it&#8217;s based off [...]]]></description>

		<title>Schedule and Experience Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Free Idea Friday! I like ideas. Others might say I need focus. So here&#8217;s an old one cluttering my head. Ideas are free. Execution isn’t. Take my   idea,  let it live long and prosper in your capable hands. 
I like the trend of experiences over consumption, and I like the proliferation [...]]]></description>
