		<title>I Believe in People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eddie Izzard said it most recently, and I&#8217;m sure others have said it before him, so I really can&#8217;t take credit for the sentiment in the title, but it is a statement that I&#8217;m really coming to feel is true. Of course, me being me, my belief in people is tempered with a bit of [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Should All Be Settling for More</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, as you might have been noticing, this blog hasn&#8217;t been so much silent as it has been deserted. There&#8217;s a reason for that, but it took me a while to figure out what it was. Actually, if I&#8217;m being honest, there&#8217;s two reasons for the silence, not just one. I guess I only want [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just a Little Crush</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m the Queen of Unrequited Love.   Since I&#8217;ve been old enough to stop thinking boys are yucky, I&#8217;ve almost always been in the throes of a crush on some male or other.  Most of my crushes were on men with whom it was virtually impossible to form a relationship.  Either they were unavailable for some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Confessions of a High School Nostalgia Dropout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been nostalgic about high school.  I don&#8217;t, in general, look back fondly on those days.  I wasn&#8217;t all that good at being a teenager, and I remember trying desperately to fit in and feeling like I was always failing.  For me high school nostalgia has always been something to be avoided, simply because [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Queen of DDIY (Don&#8217;t Do It Yourself)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was the dining room chairs that finally drove the point home. Just before Christmas the family announced that they wanted to come to my house.  Unfortunately, my house was far from ready for guests.  I subscribe to the &#8220;don&#8217;t rush into it&#8221; school of decorating which means I have the bare minimum I need [...]]]></description>

		<title>40 Things in my 40th Decade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in November of 2008, I wrote a post where I set myself a challenge.   I was going to pursue 40 goals in my 40th year and hopefully in pursuing and achieving these goals, I would change my life.   It was a sound plan, if maybe a trifle ambitious.   Truth be told, I wasn&#8217;t ready [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Come Around Much Anymore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I started this blog I was so gung ho.  I thought this would change my life.  I thought I&#8217;d finally found the philosophy that would set me on a new path.  Like a lot of people who have indulged in magical thinking in the past, I thought simply creating a blog called Settling for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boy Buffet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Considering my last post here was some months ago, you might say I&#8217;ve been a bad blogger.  In my defense I needed to go away for a while to get my head on straight.  I&#8217;d gotten myself all tied up in knots over this whole love and dating thing, and it had assumed an importance [...]]]></description>

		<title>If I Can&#8217;t See It, Can It Happen?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been a person who lived in my head.  Half of my life has been lived in my imagination and generally has no connection to what is actually happening in the life I&#8217;m living.  I&#8217;ve imagined a million futures for myself.  In my head I&#8217;ve been everything from a famous writer to a famous [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving Up Control</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a bit of a control freak.  I&#8217;m a Type A personality and I like to know how things are going to go.  I want to manage my life so nothing bad happens and everything goes smoothly.   I&#8217;m not good with the unexpected and I&#8217;m awfully good at bargaining with a life that doesn&#8217;t accept [...]]]></description>
