		<title>all the time in the world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kids, I&#8217;ve got some free time on my hands. I won&#8217;t go into the details for a variety of reasons largely related to the legal document I signed granting me all this free time and my hunch that it&#8217;s somehow contingent on me not getting all Internet Jerry Maguire about it, and also my struggle to find [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Year of the Tiger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have no clue whatsoever how to play golf, despite those many semesters of high school gym where I devoted as much of my energy as possible to playing it without getting sweaty because no one showered after gym in my high school, and then joining a sorority where I would forge a very close friendship with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cause I&#8217;m saving all my love for you, F. Scott Fitzgerald</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I look forward to going to the airport the way normal people look forward to leaving the airport. It&#8217;s a weird happy place, but it&#8217;s MY happy place, and this is a good thing because my job allows me to visit quite a few of them over the course of the year. As long as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nerd Oscars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a finite number of goals that I need to accomplish in children&#8217;s publishing before I can retire and rededicate my life to something like working as a professional assassin or finding a grant that will support me while I break the world record for Most Hours Logged In Excel. One of those goals [...]]]></description>

		<title>her life, in a nutshell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have the distinct honor of bridesmaiding for GRfriend Carolyn this fall. In case that sentence alone doesn&#8217;t sell you on how awesome this will be, let me take you back a few months to a text conversation we had:
Carolyn: Do you know the Single Ladies dance? Like, how to do it?
Cristin: I&#8217;ve watched that [...]]]></description>

		<title>I broke a rib by coughing too much</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you have any idea that was, like, a thing you could do? That breaking your own rib using internal force was even humanly possible? I knew ahead of time, but only because I&#8217;m friends with Katie, she of The Most Delicate Immune System Ever Invented, who managed to break one of her own ribs [...]]]></description>

		<title>that&#8217;s my boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My older brother leaves me a lot of excellent voicemails between the hours of 2 and 6am. The younger one almost never does; the only time that comes to mind was when he talked Ted Leo into calling me and singing &#8220;Me &#38; Mia&#8221; into my cell voicemail, an amazing gift that I didn&#8217;t discover [...]]]></description>

Coming home to that apartment and not getting inhaled by evil bugs was like that scene in The Giver where the kid sees the color red for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanks for ruining my metaphor, compact fluorescent lighting technology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Good news, someone is maybe/ probably coming tomorrow to rid my apartment of everything that&#8217;s been living there that isn&#8217;t me or my turtles. It&#8217;s been a long and interesting tango with the bedbugs and I will not be sorry to see them go. Particularly since, as bedbugs are drawn out of hiding by your [...]]]></description>
