		<title>My VA Tech Blog Silence, Depression &#038; Green Earth Bag Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been blogging lately because when perspectively viewed against certain tragedies, fashion seems shallow opposed to them. I&#8217;ve been depressed, which was caused by the Virginia Tech tragedy. As a college student, it frightens me and somehow I was vulnerable to such emotions. I&#8217;m hoping to continue on the path of higher learning while [...]]]></description>

		<title>Have you Filed Your Taxes? Check out Tax Raps!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished filing my taxes (I owed money, c&#8217;est la vie de la blogger - but it was a small amount). If you&#8217;re done with yours, let&#8217;s celebrate with some entertainment. If not, you may have until tomorrow before you&#8217;re late. In MA, taxes are due on the 17th this year due to a [...]]]></description>

		<title>$1,000 Pizza? I can do better!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A gourmet restaurant in NYC is introducing a decadent pie with the pricetag of $1,000. Yes, that&#8217;s right.
Forget traditional cheese and pizza sauce, the record-priced pie will be topped with creme fraiche, chives, eight ounces of four different kinds of Petrossian caviar, four ounces of thinly sliced Maine lobster tail, salmon roe, and a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Bag for the Fashionista vs. the Diva</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really am into my purse restriction. I&#8217;m so less into expensive or obviously &#8216;IT&#8217; bags. I&#8217;m liking subtler bags like my Chloé Betty, or the Coach I&#8217;m hoping to have the money to buy this week, or this bag below.

Yes, I&#8217;m on a purse restriction, but with credit I purchased this Jordi Labanda &#8216;BLA&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing while Drugged Out on Anxiety Meds?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had stress this morning because since I woke up early I wanted to get some entries up, but things got in the way. Like needing to fix some script problems for a blog. I ended up not posting.
While working I popped one of my anxiety pills, after a while of that not working I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chefista Required Tool: Picture Chopping Boards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a Chefista (love that term) and an organization nut who also loves stuff, I love these cutting boards by Solutions. They&#8217;re color coded and picture coded, so you can separate the types of foods you&#8217;re chopping. It&#8217;s less messy and could possibly save your -erm- colon from getting sick. I love how the colours [...]]]></description>

wow- you need help-

And she is so right! I need to win the lottery, preferably more than the current $19 Mil jackpot, but we&#8217;re (my family) playing anyway. (How nice of us to the government.)

		<title>This Shopaholic&#8217;s Budgeting &#8212; Purse Ban!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s true, I must put myself on a serious handbag restriction. I might buy one Coach this month, and perhaps an Isabella Fiore from Neimans after I pay the bill.
I went into this figuring out my budget, getting depressed, not sure I could stick to a purse restriction, but basically what money I have this [...]]]></description>
