		<title>Excuses, Excuses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Jessica,
Not that you&#8217;ve asked, but what am I doing instead of writing?
1. Cooking for Thanksgiving. Too busy to write- had to make stuffing from a box and a pie from 2 boxes, a can and a plastic container.
2. Working- and or not working and or obsessing about a possible new job.
3. Watching internet TV. [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s all my fault (&amp; Dan Brown… &amp; George Bush)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Lisa,
It&#8217;s so exciting to start a novel.&#160; Everything is fresh and new.&#160; Your new little creation is so perfect, if only because it doesn&#8217;t really exist yet, and the writing comes so easy.&#160; Look at this humongous mountain of an idea!&#160; I&#8217;ll never run out of something to say!  It&#8217;s such a fantastic [...]]]></description>

		<title>I’m getting all Lee Greenwood with myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jessica,
OK, so it happened. Obama won. Therefore I am able to say, what I haven&#8217;t been able to say for 8 years, &#8220;I&#8217;m proud to be an American.&#8221; It feels good to know we live among likeminded people. It feels good to know that things now have the possibility to change. It feels good to [...]]]></description>

		<title>God Save the Queen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the UK it&#8217;s called the &#8220;Credit Crunch&#8221; and for the two weeks I was in Wales the political heads of every European country continually assured their citizens that savings and pensions were safe, despite the fact they were dipping into them to save the world&#8217;s major banking institutions.  British news programs are different from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jessica,
America has missed you. In your absence we have started a worldwide financial recession/depression(depending on who you ask), the presidential campaign has polarized even more people racially, culturally, religiously and otherwise, and we like North Korea now because they are &#8220;dismantling&#8221; their nuclear reactor- while Iran might consider it if we let Amidenijad have sex [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Speaking of working out, I am contemplating joining Curves. 
You know the health club for women, by women, that would make any black-blooded feminist barf. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re seen the purple signs written in cursive, that I guess are supposed to make you feel like you are going to a scrap booking store rather than a [...]]]></description>

		<title>another humiliation, another idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Lisa,
All I want to write about today is baby stuff.  What he&#8217;s eating not eating when he&#8217;s napping not napping how long for how much what to do when he doesn&#8217;t and is this normal.  I&#8217;m boring myself to death.  Not literally, but close.
To make matters worse, there is the election drama to which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pamela Anderson is my hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Jessica,


Don&#8217;t get me wrong I&#8217;m no snob. I mean, I like Gossip Girl- (the show). I like Lifetime Movies. I like Fluffernutter sandwiches. I like State Fairs. I like Rock of Love. But, I have to draw the line somewhere.
Books are where I draw the line. Books should be where everyone draws the line. You [...]]]></description>

		<title>She’s no Bristol Palin, but still…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Lisa,
A confession:  I have a tab on my google homepage titled &#8220;Entertainment&#8221;.  Clicking on this tab loads a page filled with celebrity news blog links.  While I&#8217;m not proud of it, there are times when it actually informs me of something newsworthy (besides Sarah Jessica&#8217;s favorite Starbucks drink or what stupid pro-Republican crap that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Golden Girls meets Thelma and Louise meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest meets the scenes in Italy from the Godfather.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Jessica,
I’m the writer in my family too. This information is used by my mother to tell people at her gym that I am like “Steven King” or “that woman who writes the books about kids who do magic.” 
So there’s that.
This Memoir your mom wants you to write sounds like the Golden Girls meets [...]]]></description>
