		<title>A Journey of Self-Discovery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Literally. Keith found a sale on DNA testing from 23 and Me, so he ordered two kits for us. After an amount of saliva that was both small seeming, but a long time to generate, we popped our samples into the mail. I am very impressed with their concern for confidentiality and privacy. I read [...]]]></description>

		<title>An accidental secret</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was Tiny Tiara Day. It happens every April 12th. On this day, my sisters and I celebrate our Mother&#8217;s birthday by wearing the tiny tiaras we all wore for her last birthday. It&#8217;s a day to celebrate our our awesomeness. I figured it was more of a personal day, so didn&#8217;t really mention it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Treasure and trash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I need to clean up the sewing supplies in the library, so we can get it ready for Keith&#8217;s parents to arrive Tuesday. To this effect, I repacked the totes of fabric and began stacking them in the closet. To my dismay, I find that there are two too many for the usual tower of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tweaking to Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Camera etched. Interval controls figured out eventually&#8230; Now there will be tweaking to see which setting or settings work best for the cat. While I like the picture of the other cat under the truck, I don&#8217;t really like the flash.]]></description>

		<title>The Elusive Glue Gun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The major obstacle to completing the new catcam case was the lack of finding the glue gun. I use it to hold on the velcro closures. I had fun with duck tape, and scoring plastic, and drilling tape-covered plastic with power tools and scissors (used for the pilot hole), and bending wire for the holders. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Slow Rebirthing of the Catcam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the cat dunked his camera in the &#8220;auxiliary water source&#8221; aka the toilet and ruined it. Something is wrong with the photoblog template I have on the KP site, so that the slideshow won&#8217;t run because it thinks it wants a tag set instead of a category. And I&#8217;ve gotten frustrated with the terrible [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writer blockage comes free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day for shipping the Hometown entries was upon me. Of course, that&#8217;s when my writer&#8217;s block opens up to allow me to answer all the questions I was assigned, and Andrew&#8217;s, too. It was like a runaway train. Not without some bumps, though. For some reason, the Dymo printer has superseded the Epson as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nervous Obsession</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I get this every once in a while, when I&#8217;m stressed. I hyper-focus on one project. Usually it&#8217;s not the project I&#8217;m supposed to be working on. I&#8217;ve been working on a fit-and-flare dress pattern for quite a while. Too long, I decided, so I finalized a test pattern, cut, basted, and fit it in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sound and fury, accomplishing a little</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My day was making a fist, specifically around my gut. I have no idea what I ate that caused it, but my insides were unhappy intermittently throughout the day. Very distracting. I did finish my dress mock-up. It needs fine tuning: the decolletage is a little too low for the underpinnings, and my hips aren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pi Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google may be trying to conquer the world via information, but at least it reminded me it was Pi Day when I nearly forgot. ^_^;; Keith was kind enough to make Dutch Apple pie. He&#8217;s very good at pie. And breakfast. He made waffles from scratch! Which are also round, if not punny. Daylight savings [...]]]></description>
