		<description><![CDATA[This article gave me a panic attack. Granted, it doesn&#8217;t take much to elicit that response in me, but still. And apparently I&#8217;m not alone&#8211;my dear friend KG freaked the hell out too. I know some of the things I fear are inevitable&#8211;hurt feelings, excluding or being excluded, gossip. I was way more a Wanna [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I loved this, from Sunday&#8217;s NYTimes. Back to school&#8230;. What do you remember about The First Day of School? I remember pondering my outfit&#8211;wanting to wear something new, something my mom bought when we went Back to School shopping, some particular shirt that would make the year go the way I wanted it to. (Turns [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now you may know how I feel about Sandra Tsing Loh&#8230;. I love her recent essay about women and real estate. Friends, readers? What do you think? Thanks to my great friend (and boss) Laura who brought me the newest issue of the Atlantic (in which this essay appears) last week when I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rain prediction contest is still on! (Sorry, Melissa, there is no overwhelming support for &#8220;calling it&#8221; after the quick downpour last week. I think we are longing for something substantial, something urban-metro-wide, something involving at least one road closure.) In any case, we&#8217;re still waiting, y&#8217;hear? I love these summer clouds, love our local [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lovely musing on inadvertent cosleeping (for lack of a better phrase&#8211;what else to call it? when the kids end up in your bed?) I was just thinking about this the other day&#8211;about how we don&#8217;t usually know that something is happening for the Last Time. And also about sleep, how it&#8217;s sort of completely [...]]]></description>
