		<title>Before and After &gt;&gt; Office Picture Update after Redo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started this project last December when I decided that I really needed to have a prettier office. I thought that I could do it in a few weeks. Now it is 4 months later, and the beautification is finally done. My initial goal was to de-clutter the office, and make it a cheerful spot. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Puppy&#8217;s Famous &#8220;Uncle&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our puppy Aubrey (full name: Aubrey Maple Fudge McGee) is from Ginger&#8217;s Pet Rescue in Seattle. We adopted her in late July 2008. Turns out that one of her puppy-mates (brother) was adopted by Blake Lewis (American Idol Season 6, top 6).

		<title>Finally, a carpet chair mat that I like, and it&#8217;s green!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is too exciting not to share. I&#8217;m not a fan of chair mats for my desk because they are spendy, and they don&#8217;t seem to last long. But you gotta have one, right, to protect the carpet, and so you can roll around.
I finally found one that I like, and it&#8217;s better for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>It All Started with a Hat Box!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Months ago I decided that my home office wasn&#8217;t meeting my needs. I think it was about the time that we got puppy Aubrey. With her exercise pen and kennel and other paraphernalia took up about half the office. I was cramped! I didn&#8217;t have the time to deal with it, but I set an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Offering a class for Virtual Assistants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so it HAS been awhile since I posted. What have I been up to? Work, work, work. My practice has been so busy that I haven&#8217;t had any openings in well over a year. I still have a steady stream of potential clients, but I refer them to fellow VAs. You know who else [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sure your email was received?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that I&#8217;ve learned from being online a lot over the last few years: emails don&#8217;t always get through to the recipient. I have about 10 email accounts. I troubleshoot email delivery issues for my clients who have tens of thousands of clients combined and broadcast several emails weekly. Emails do not always get [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Love Office 2007</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you made the conversion yet? I got a new computer, so I was very excited to add Office 2007. (By the way, I didn&#8217;t bundle it with my Dell computer order, instead I bought it separately, and saved quite a bit.)
It was quite a shock making the transition. Here&#8217;s an example. I needed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marathon Computer Conversion Session</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was time to get a new computer. Don&#8217;t deny the signs because you know what they are:Â  

The computer is slower than it used to be.
Programs get hung up and stop responding.
You get the occasional blue screen of death.
You find yourself restarting your computer, a lot.

I was ready and so I took the plunge, [...]]]></description>
