		<description><![CDATA[After a long hiatus, I went through this site and blew out some of the cobwebs. I&#8217;ve updated to the latest version of WordPress, and switched to a new theme, and generally sort of re-set things.

		<title>Hoppy New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and all that. This Christmas I received some presents I had asked for&#8230; and the ones I wish to let you know about now were brewing ingredients!

		<title>A milestone, of sorts, in weight loss.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few years I have really begun to struggle with my weight. 11 years ago, I weighed a mere 145 lbs. Since then I have put on roughly 100 more.

		<description><![CDATA[I ran across this poem while perusing a local RSS feed, and I wanted to save it. The post where I found it was written by Pomoyemu, and the poem itself was written by Veronica Shoffstall.

		<title>Current thoughts.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pretend like I wasted a whole paragraph saying what a sucky blogger I am and complaining about it. Now that that is out of the way&#8230; I&#8217;ve been thinking lately about little epiphanies.  Specifically, those little epiphanies where you suddenly &#8230; <a href="http://www.lafes.net/?p=305">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
