		<title>Mama’s Girl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone says about their kids, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know I could love someone this much.&#8221; I expected to feel that way, too, and I did the moment I looked into Ruby&#8217;s eyes on the day she was born. But what I didn&#8217;t expect was to say, 14 months later, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know someone could love me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fourteen Years Late</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been on an unannounced, unintended hiatus. But don&#8217;t worry, there&#8217;s nothing bad going on to distract me. It&#8217;s just that for the past few months, all my writing mojo has been expended in the service of my manuscript. My goal was to finish my novel (set in Alabama during the Civil War) by my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight, I laid my child in her crib, and she immediately rolled over and went to sleep. No screaming, no repeatedly standing up, no thrashing about like one possessed. She didn&#8217;t even need to hold my hand. I was stunned at first &#8211; literally, mouth-hanging-open stunned &#8211; but taken in the context of the past [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Are Alive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I disappeared for a while there. Didn&#8217;t realize how long it had been. I kept thinking, &#8220;I need to go post on my blog so people don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m dead,&#8221; but then I kept getting distracted by other things, and I couldn&#8217;t fathom how to write about the tornado yet.

		<title>1601 Reasons Not to Buy the House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading over some of my old renovation-related blog entries, since I&#8217;ve had renovation on the brain again lately, and realized I barely remember half this stuff.

		<title>Inner Turmoil, Victorian Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because I could think of nothing else for the two days following our first encounter with the house at 1601 Main, because I am a crazy person and my husband is just crazy enough to go along with me, I called the realtor and made an appointment for us to see the house.
