		<title>Dreams Denied or Simply Deferred?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When will this economy right itself?  Sometimes I sit thinking, &#8220;there must be more that I could do&#8230;&#8221;  My thoughts range from starting a new business to thinking deeper about the skill set I would need to get a job in the workforce of the future.  Unfortunately, I fail to see the value in traditional [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starting a Business Takes More…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are one of the 15-20 million unemployed (depending on the statistics you read) or one of the 42 million Americans collecting food stamps, what are your options now that the last of the 99&#8242;ers will be hitting the proverbial wall for unemployment compensation?  Seriously&#8230;  There are no sustainable jobs for the unemployed.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Apprentice of What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, while watching TV, I realized the new season of The Apprentice had begun.  I remember when there was talk about casting for the new season, but I don’t recall seeing much press or advertising about when the premiere would air.  Although I have not watched the show since the first or second season, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clear the Air&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At this stage, a short-term economic recovery is still about as certain as BP is that they cannot find anymore oil in the Gulf clean up effort.  The economy remains in shambles, heading for a possible double-dip recession, the jobs picture is no brighter, and we are all contemplating options we may not have ever [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tons to do with only a pound of time…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My days go by so fast.  It is almost impossible to get a full day’s tasks done before it is time to go pick up the kids from school, prepare dinner, get the kids their baths and into bed, and hopefully work some more before exhaustion from the day finally catches up with me.  Our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coupons&#8230; the great equalizer!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[﻿﻿The thing I have never “truly” understood is why is it so expensive to eat and live healthy.  When Eric was working, we never thought about the costs of shopping at Whole Foods versus Kroger, Publix or Stop and Shop.  We only concerned ourselves with eating foods that were “good” for us, since they contained [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boomeranger Butterfly.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Yesterday, when I opened the front door, there was the same beautiful butterfly that appeared Sunday morning &#8211; in the same spot on the welcome mat.  As excited as I was the first time I saw it, it was so much more awe inspiring to see it return the very next day.  It was as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Then the music stopped&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
About a week and a half after receiving this check did we realize it would be the last unemployment check we would receive.  To the best of my knowledge, the maximum period for unemployment benefits, including extended benefits, is somewhere between 59 and 72 weeks, and if you were really lucky 99 weeks.  We (Eric) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Graciously Annoyed.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Staying with in-laws, who have graciously allowed our family to stay in their home free of charge, has been a blessing.  We are so grateful!  However, I am bothered by the fact that when others visit, cook, use dishes, and then leave them in every place except back where they got them, the expectation seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not in Front of the Parents.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Although we are indeed grateful, the last year or so living with our parents (the in-laws) has at times been challenging to say the least.  But not for the reasons you may think.  There is the obvious lack of privacy, of course.  But that kind of comes with the territory.  It’s their house.
Anyhow, once or [...]]]></description>
