		<title>Back to normal??</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s been a month, and I feel I owe you an update.  Now that things are finally getting back into my normal routine, I can give you that update.  I feel like I need to do the update in list form, though, because I&#8217;m not sure how to make it all tie [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=142&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Progress is very motivating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today marks the beginning of week 4, and I&#8217;m doing pretty well with the fitness and nutrition adjustments so far.  I&#8217;ve been tracking my progress online at fitday.com.  It&#8217;s pretty cool.  I can conveniently set my own goals for weight and nutrition (or they give guidelines.)  Then, I enter what I&#8217;ve eaten and what exercises [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=126&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Have I told you about my birthday resolution?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple weeks ago, I had a birthday.  Now, it wasn&#8217;t a landmark birthday, and I&#8217;m thankful that when most people find out my age, they are still able to honestly think of me as young.  However, the day before my birthday brought a real epiphany to me.  I was in the copy room after [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=123&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Of all the things to miss&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my time since moving back to my hometown, I&#8217;ve come to realize that I miss some really strange things about city life.  For example, I miss knowing that I could walk into any number of stores in the area without meeting a single person I know. Here, it&#8217;s an unusual day at the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=118&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Post-election thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, I know the election was finished up a few days ago, but I&#8217;ve had several thoughts mulling through my brain, and I&#8217;m feeling a bit of a need to vent.  So, would you please bear with me?  Thanks!
I did quite a bit of research on where the candidates stood. After the research, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=107&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday to Me!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very tired of raking leaves!  I spent some time on it this weekend.  I raked up more leaves on Wednesday evening.  The following pictures are what my lawn looked like on Thursday (which was also my actual birthday.)  
The pictures show my front yard, my back yard, and a perspective [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=113&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I voted!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I did.  I stopped by the polling place on my way to work this morning.  The line for my district was (of course) the longest line at the polling place, but it still wasn&#8217;t terribly long.  I even have a sticker to prove it.  It&#8217;s not a very pretty sticker, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=100&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Weekend happenings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, the title may be a poor choice, because it may lead you to believe that I had an eventful weekend.  I did not.  However, there were a few happenings that I found blog-worthy:

1.  My parents returned safely from Germany, so I have now seen a few pictures of my new, beautiful [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=93&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s a Girl!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My sister had her baby at 4:26 p.m., Germany time.  Molly Mariam weighed in at 9 lbs. even and was 20 1/2 inches long.  She was born just in time for my parents to spend a couple days with her before their flight leaves for home on Wednesday.
No pictures yet, but I&#8217;ll post [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=86&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Baby update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I promised to post news as soon as I had it, so here&#8217;s an update.  It&#8217;s not the update I was hoping for, but it&#8217;s good news nonetheless.   Baby and mom had a check-up, and the doctor says everything is fine.  She&#8217;ll have another appointment on Friday.  That&#8217;s when [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marlise1106.wordpress.com&blog=5199874&post=76&subd=marlise1106&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
