		<description><![CDATA[Per usual, my semester ended with me collapsed on the couch, soul-sucking seminar papers turned in, exam blue books thoroughly scribbled upon, piles of books and essays covering the dining room table, and very, very little done in preparation for Christmas. I was absurdly proud of myself for decorating our tree 6 days before Christmas [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re kind of conceptual dorks like that: Unfortunately, the flapping skirt ruins something of the red line&#8217;s dramatic dive. And maybe Noel looks a little like he&#8217;s in prison stripes. But trust us. We thought it was funny.]]></description>

The conference was not-so-great, but Austin certainly lived up to its billing of being very, very weird.

It&#8217;s right there, on the table next to wiser choices such as &#8220;seek professional counsel&#8221; and &#8220;stop trying to control the outcome [...]]]></description>

Every time I am in Houston I am filled with renewed trepidation over the in-laws neighborhood. It&#8217;s lovely, of course, but it&#8217;s also a Houston suburbs&#8217; subdivision.
