		<description><![CDATA[I dream of wearing short dresses.  Now that it&#8217;s spring, all those breezy short hemlines in stores seem to whisper my name.  Every year it starts the same.  I hope that this will be the year.  Maybe this time I will find that perfect mid-thigh length dress.   I&#8217;ll go shopping, and find a potential winner.  [...]]]></description>

The subject of creativity is something that fascinates me.  For many years, [...]]]></description>
