		<description><![CDATA[I got my computer back tonight, thank God. It&#8217;s making me feel normal again to be sitting here beside my honey in the computer room, as opposed to being in my daughter&#8217;s room and him in here. He probably didn&#8217;t miss it at all. He was probably enjoying having his own space. Bastard. Too bad, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who slept til 5:11 this morning? Who laid there trying to get back to sleep after her pee? Who laid there until 6-ish not falling back asleep and finally got up? I think that was me. I was conking out about 10-10:30-ish last night. Don&#8217;t ask me why. WTF is with that? Friday night, ho [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was out. I was using my green purse that matches my green shirt. I happened to stop in the shoe store. They happened to have a pair of sandals that went perfectly with my green purse. So I bought them. I almost bought some turquoise sandals as well, but the purse they had didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So my mp3 player finally arrived. And it has the FM headphones so that I can plug it into the treadmill at the club and hear the TV.

They had these snack bars (chocolate caramel, and peanut butter chocolate) that looked yummy and they were only two points each. They also had a special, 2 for $15, so I bought two boxes.
