	<title>Andi's exciting life.</title>
	<link>http://gleeson.org/blog/andi</link>
	<description>Sure the name is ironic, but with a house full of geeky parents, a 2-year-old spaz, and three pets, something exciting is bound to happen.</description>

		<title>I&#8217;m back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe you noticed that my blog was out of commission for the past couple months.  Our server died, and it took a while for Matt to get everything set up again.  Now I&#8217;m back, just in time to make more New Year&#8217;s resolutions about writing more often.  I don&#8217;t happen to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new pet.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I cleaned out our junk-laden garage.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong.  There&#8217;s still plenty of junk in there, but I took out the obvious never-going-to-need-it-again garbage like broken lamps and torn dog beds.  Normally I would need weeks to build up enough motivation to tackle such a project, but this was totally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Preschool:  Good for the kid, good for the mom.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Falco just finished his first week of preschool, and he adores it so far.  From the minute we got there on the first day, he dove right in like he was at an amusement park.  He isn&#8217;t upset when I leave, so it&#8217;s easy to kiss him goodbye and be on my way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Early disappointment.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Falco and I were at the playground today, and a cop walked by.  (The police station is just up the street.)  Falco said, &#8220;Look, there&#8217;s a policeman!  Hi, Policeman!&#8221;  He stopped to talk to Falco for a minute and asked if he was going to be there playing for a while. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things turn ugly at the candy factory.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Today, Falco and I went with a crew of friends to the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, CA.  It was my brilliant idea, and we were both pretty excited about it.  The hour-long drive went well, and Falco was giddy when we got out of the car and he saw the enormous jelly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Napping days are here again!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m ecstatic to report that my worries about Falco being done with naps were unfounded.  I think he skipped his naps on three nonconsecutive days, and now he&#8217;s back to sleeping for a solid 2-3 hours every afternoon.  As my sister recently said, naps are like sweet little gifts (for which I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>They all look the same at this age.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the museum today, I grabbed Falco to put his shoes on, except it wasn&#8217;t Falco.  I saw where he was playing, went to get his shoes, then picked up a child from the last place I spotted him while looking elsewhere.  I realized I was holding a too-small kid who was already [...]]]></description>

		<title>I love you.  No, really.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was just called to my attention that, in an effort to reduce the unmanageable amount of comment spam I receive, I have scared away my actual readers from commenting.  I thought by requiring commenters to create an account, I would only hear from live people, but it has backfired.  Spam is still [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Ride.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned that we were thinking about getting a Prius after renting one on our trip to Mississippi.  (When I say we were thinking about it, I mean I was thinking about it and Matt was going along with it.  He never drives and doesn&#8217;t care much about what kind of car we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dark days.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 2:00 in the afternoon, the time I&#8217;m usually maxing and relaxing (well, really working) while Falco naps.  But right now, he is groaning, &#8220;Mommy, I&#8217;m awake!&#8221; after being in his room for the past hour NOT napping.  If this was an isolated incident, I would think it was just an off day.
