		<title>Missy loves me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my mother&#8217;s neurotic rotweiler, Missy. She may be my mother&#8217;s dog, but loves me the most. There&#8217;s no logical reason why.

		<title>Of punctuation and alphabets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I want one if these. Yep, I mean the mannequin, not the jewelry. (Spotted at Macy&#8217;s.) Do you think there&#8217;s a question-mark mannequin somewhere, too? And these letters are very fun. (Spotted at Urban Outfitters.) This is what happens when I am on vacation and have some free time.]]></description>

		<title>Fit to be tied</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love ties. I would absolutely wear them. I love the colors and patterns and styles of these bits of silk. Each one makes a subtle or profound statement or whisper. (But have you ever tried to find a simple tie-friendly button-down women&#8217;s shirt? It&#8217;s not easy.) And I may have fixed a shirt display [...]]]></description>

		<title>Y justicia para todos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a week, there was a flag in the elevator. For a week, I (silently) said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning when I left for work. In Spanish. The flag appeared after the Fourth of July. For two days it laid across the top of the small white board. Then someone figured out how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Balloon people</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The kind people working on the building next door are still at it. But (victory!) they took down the sad string of dead balloons.
