		<description><![CDATA[My brother is one of the most creatively driven people I know. Improv, comedy, an online radio show, music, drawing, he does everything he loves without complaint about there never being enough time. Often I wonder how he stays so motivated, where all the drive and passion comes from, especially given the fact he works full-time and has a partner. I realize he doesn&#8217;t remain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only because I didn&#8217;t get to see my family on Christmas. Sickness kept everyone at bay on different days, in different ways, so the least we could do is all get on the phone together (minus my sister who was sleeping her day away) and talk for awhile. It wasn&#8217;t the same. Granted I&#8217;m only 40 miles away from my parents, and a little over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my complex we have an on-site laundry facility, but it&#8217;s a little wacky in that you have to go out of the building to access it. It always makes doing laundry in the wintertime a big deal because it means I have to put on shoes, bundle up, carry my bag of laundry and detergent and quarters outside just to get to the room [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This weekend was madness. I had STEM training with Discoveries Unlimited all day Saturday. It was fun, yet also prepared me for some of the excitement and possible&#8230; pitfalls? I don&#8217;t want to say pitfalls because that sounds odd, but with humans I guess you never know what will happen. Everything that day was made double-fun due to the fact that Kathy was there. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took the day off today to watch my sister graduate college with orange hair and honors cords. She has her undergrad in psychology now, will soon move on to graduate school and eventually obtain her doctorate. It&#8217;s wild. Someone in our family wants to be a doctor. And here I was  just happy with my BA! When I graduated college it was a scary [...]]]></description>

I got a wonderful card from my parents, a text from my sister and a birthday song from my brother (created with his newish sampler). Donna gave me a book she loves. Mary gave me dinner, chocolate and a Kohls card. Rahsaan gave me a book and a gift card to my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My brother, who is beyond creative and ever-motivated, organized an art party with our family last night, where everything we made that evening would go home with him and into a zine. We&#8217;re all on a zine kick. Awesome. I love hanging out with my family, eating good food and now we can enjoy the company of one another while making art. An exceptional time.

I had a bunch of vegetable stock I made that I had to start using up, and I thought making a soup with my father would be the perfect thing. We love making soup together. We started out wanting a recipe, but later decided just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WTF is right. Out of the people I know (and I know plenty) my brother has to be one of the more creatively-driven, the kind that when he says he&#8217;s going to do a project, he sticks with it. He&#8217;s the kind of guy you envy yet want to kick in his teeth because he always delivers and never seems to fall victim to laziness [...]]]></description>
