		<description><![CDATA[

In the time that we've lived in the 'burbs, we've had a veritable parade
of icky insecty things cavorting through our home. There were the things
with a million legs that crawled up our bathtubs, the infestation of
little black ants that marched...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Preparing for the Candy Apocalypse]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[

"What's with all this candy?" asked my husband, eyeballing a large stack
of candy bags on the table.

"It's for Halloween," I replied nonchalantly.

"But Halloween isn't for three more months," he protested.

"I know," I said. "But I had to get ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

My husband and I were having dinner at a lovely restaurant one night
when I stopped eating mid-plate.

"I'm done," I said.

"What? Why?" he asked.

"This pasta and shrimp is delicious, but I'm full. I can't eat any
more."

"Take it home," he ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

If I'd had any choice in the matter, I certainly wouldn't have planned
to have my two kids' and husband's birthdays be only weeks apart. The
first two just kind of worked out that way. The third was completely out
of my control.

The problem ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

"We got an invitation to something," I said to my husband as I opened
the elegant beige envelope with our names handwritten in calligraphy.

"What is it?" he wondered aloud.

I scanned the invitation. "It's a dinner party for John and Cheryl's

		<description><![CDATA[

"Don't move," I said softly to my mom as we sat having lunch at an
outdoor cafe.

"What is it?" she asked in a somewhat alarmed tone.

"There is a spider hanging from your hat," I replied. "But I'll get it."
Even though I am deathly afraid of ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

As spring moves into summer, one of the things I can be confident of is
that my chances of getting exposed to poison ivy go up significantly.
For some reason, this seems to be a challenge for me every summer. It
has happened every year like ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

"Honey, do we have any sunscreen?" my husband asked.

"Yes," I responded. "I bought, like, a case of it years ago."

"You know that stuff expires, right?"

I actually didn't. I thought sunscreen lasted forever, like Twinkies and
Dick Van Dyke. ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Chew on This]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[

When I was a kid, we had a Siberian husky named Sasha. My dad decided on
a Siberian husky because he wanted a dog that had blue eyes like he did.

Not that he's shallow or anything.

Sasha was a chewer. He wasn't just a dog toy chewer or bone ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Given the choice between using a regular door and a revolving door, I
always choose the regular door. I've been that way since birth. OK,
maybe not birth -- I'm fairly certain there was no revolving door where
I made my way into the world. But ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

For a long time, I was a dedicated slow cooker fan, which worked well
when my kids were little and I could dump everything in the pot in the
morning and then pull it out ready to go at dinnertime. But once the
kids left the nest and I was just ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

When I woke up, I felt fine. However, by noon, one side of my nose was
stuffed up. And by dinnertime, I had a full-blown, eye-watering,
nose-dripping, knock-the-dog-over-with-my-sneezes head cold.

"Maybe it's allergies," said my husband as I ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

I've had issues with my lower back in the past. It usually happens when
I'm doing something strenuous, like putting on my socks. Because of
this, I typically never know when it will strike. It's kind of like
