			<description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h207/MLS859/Emoticons/theremometer.gif" alt="image">I&#39;ve always said that Augusta, Georgia is in some kind of
odd &quot;weather pocket&quot;. We tend to get the opposite of whatever weather is predicted -- or it&#39;s better/worse than anticipated. There&#39;s only one
thing that&#39;s guaranteed -- it <span style="font-style: italic;">will</span> be hot in the summer. The rest of the year? Well, you never really know until

			<description><![CDATA[ My first thought -- and prayer -- for the new year -- is please let it be a good one. It&#39;s probably too much to ask -- life is seldom good all the time
(though God is). Anyway, here are some thoughts, things I&#39;m looking forward to and things which are already bugging me...
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-style: italic;">Scrubs!</span>
<br>
<br>
No, not the show (I&#39;ve never seen it) but just that my husband will be wearing scrubs every day again! Now this may sound like a strange thing... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Like a lot of people, I don&#39;t really make new year&#39;s resolutions. I&#39;ve discovered that <span style="font-style: italic;">saying</span> you&#39;re
going to do something is not the same as <span style="font-style: italic;">doing</span> it -- so why bother making a grand statement and then not live up to
it? So, the only thing I&#39;m really going to hope for is to be <span style="font-style: italic;">better</span>.

			<description><![CDATA[ Christmas is over and now we&#39;re heading full-steam ahead to...<span style="font-style: italic;">next</span> Christmas. That&#39;s how it seems to me,
anyway. When I was little, it seemed like Christmas was, well, as slow as Christmas but now the years are whizzing by at an alarming speed. I suppose
there&#39;s both good and bad in that but it is what it is. As we get older, the earth apparently turns faster -- a little detail which isn&#39;t picked up by
NASA.

death of a dog), this year... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m trying to be good although Santa has probably already looked at my behavior this year and said, &quot;no dice&quot;. But here I am, less than two weeks
before Christmas, scratching my head, wondering where the time went. I think I need to make a list and check it twice because I don&#39;t know what I have done
or have yet to do.

published in <font style="font-style: italic;">Kentucky Monthly</font> magazine but her name was misspelled because an &quot;e&quot; was added. This got me to
thinking about how I&#39;ve had to go through life spelling my own name(s).

			<description><![CDATA[ While the guys are here painting (still), I&#39;ve taken the opportunity to get a few things done around the house -- one of which has been cleaning out my
closet. My closet is not a small one -- when we added on to our house several years ago, I sacrificed space in what is my computer area for closet space. My
closet -- which I <font style="font-style: italic;">do no</font>t share with Mark -- he has his own -- is the size of a small room -- probably something like
10 x 15. The problem with... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ For some insane reason, I&#39;m having most of the first floor of my house painted at probably the worst time of year. It&#39;s needed it for a long time and
when we called our usual fix-it man, we figured we&#39;d be on his waiting list for awhile -- which was fine since there was no hurry. But, then he called
before Thanksgiving and said he had time <font style="font-style: italic;">right now</font> -- so what was I going to do?

Anyway, I thought that this much painting was way... ]]></description>

Anybody who didn&#39;t think Adam Lambert would go over the top as soon as he could was kidding themselves. All the signs were there from the beginning. Unlike

People are astounded when I admit that Mark and I <font style="font-style: italic;">never</font> went to a football game while we were in school -- or since. I went to a few when I was younger but, quite honestly,
football, on TV or in person, bores the living hell out of me. I don&#39;t know players names or who the coach is nowadays -- I do know that the mascot -- a
bulldog -- is named Uga -- it&#39;s... ]]></description>
