		<description><![CDATA[Today was the much anticipated Chicago Zine Fest. I had attended last year, with some mixed feelings, but this year nothing was mixed up. It was such a positive experience. Invigorating. Life-enhancing. I felt as if I were walking around on clouds the entire time, uncovering stories and art and adventure. I didn&#8217;t want to leave. It was fun to meet the people whose zines [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last handful of months I&#8217;ve been reconnecting a lot with some of my old friends from high school. It&#8217;s a little odd to see the different directions that life has taken us. Some paths I expected. Others were a total surprise. But no matter where the paths diverged years ago, we somehow found one another and came together to reminisce about the &#8220;old [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I jolted awake to the alarm on my phone at 7:00 in the morning. This was to get myself showered, dressed, fed, and ready to catch the 9:08 train in order to make an 11:30 interview with a creative staffing agency in Chicago. I needed four and a half hours to get to an 11:30 appointment. How do people commute? But as Ben [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been feeling down lately, and there are lots of reasons why. Financial crunch, dating anxiety, questioning myself and the things I think, the actions I take. All sorts of things. They have a way of piling up so high, so precariously, and when I&#8217;m left to my own devices, alone in my apartment trying to work on the things I should be working on, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick fast-thinking post about Chamber Networking Night. Fun. Productive. I dropped my business card into the hands of a few design places. Will follow up soon for any chance of contract work. Talked. Schmoozed. (I think I&#8217;m pretty good at schmoozing if I do say so myself.) I had my lung capacity checked by the hospital people. Doing that test is a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today Rahsaan and I left somewhat early this morning to spend a bite-size afternoon in Chicago. He had to get back to play flag football, and I had to get back to finish a small design job, so it worked out perfect. I&#8217;ve been to Chicago enough that I don&#8217;t need to spend the whole day there. We drove, because I hate taking the train [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I was only gone for four days, this mini road trip around the midwest was pretty amazing on many different levels. I saw new things: big things, small things, good things, bad things. It was good to have Zack as company, and I&#8217;m glad he was willing to go on this trip with me. Not every moment was pure adventure, but I think just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our final full day on this mini road trip adventure was spent in St. Louis. We drove from Topeka Kansas late this morning, arrived here mid afternoon where Zack and I played the tourist for a spell and visited the famous St. Louis Arch. I hadn&#8217;t been in it since I was in 9th grade as a fourteen-year-old girl on a band trip. I won&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday Zack and I spent the day and a healthy part of the evening in Kansas City. I was a little apprehensive driving when we drew closer to the city, with all the crisscrossing interstates and highways above and below and ribboning in between. But once off the interstate, the traffic was light. Maybe it was due to it being a Monday afternoon. Maybe it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A quick rundown of today, since I&#8217;m pretty tired from the wedding I went to last night, waking early this morning and driving for over six hours today. It was sunny when we left Indiana, driving I80 through Illinois, but once we reached Iowa it was gray, drizzly, the sky looked as if it were shifting downward, leaning against the horizon the longer we drove.
