		<title>yeah, so&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because of my chronic inability to focus and my ongoing belief that it&#8217;s better to do 12 things poorly than it is to do one thing well, I have to ask:
Is there a way to rehabilitate a wool sweater that&#8217;s been through the dryer?  or should I just ask the Princess if she wants a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alisonwonderland.wordpress.com&blog=3264056&post=1707&subd=alisonwonderland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mom of the Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have long thought that it was not a coincidence that a church that encourages big families doesn&#8217;t allow alcohol.
(I would have started drinking early today friends, really, really early.)
I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m going to make it to Christmas.
And now, in the interest of not writing a completely downer post, here are some pictures of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alisonwonderland.wordpress.com&blog=3264056&post=1701&subd=alisonwonderland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Goals and Resolutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First the goal:  I&#8217;m going to do Christmas for $1000 or less.  That&#8217;s all of Christmas, kids, cousins, in-laws, neighbors, even Sean and I.  No more than a grand.
For some of you (even some of you who have 8 kids) that may be no big deal.  maybe you do Christmas for less than that every [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alisonwonderland.wordpress.com&blog=3264056&post=1698&subd=alisonwonderland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Well, What Did You Expect?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago my brother posted on his blog about expectations and potential, specifically his own.  For those of you who aren&#8217;t going to follow the links he said basically that most of his life he&#8217;s been told that he has so much potential and only recently was he ever told that he had actually [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alisonwonderland.wordpress.com&blog=3264056&post=1690&subd=alisonwonderland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Once upon a time&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in college.  No, not this time that I was in college.  Not the last time either.  Or the time before that.  (It occurs to me that I&#8217;ve spent far FAR too much time in college for someone who doesn&#8217;t even have an associate&#8217;s degree.)  That&#8217;s not the point.  The point is that once [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alisonwonderland.wordpress.com&blog=3264056&post=1677&subd=alisonwonderland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Not That I Don&#8217;t Want to Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not even that I don&#8217;t have anything to blog about.  I have at least two really good posts in my head.  It&#8217;s just that writing either one of them is going to take me an hour at least and if I have an hour I need to do something else (homework, house cleaning, etc&#8230;) [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alisonwonderland.wordpress.com&blog=3264056&post=1675&subd=alisonwonderland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Oh, You Wanted Something Permanent?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got some comments with my last post that cereal (two FULL bags of cereal that I BOUGHT!) wasn&#8217;t really that big of a deal, it wasn&#8217;t permanent after all, it could just be vacuumed up (and by &#8220;just&#8221; here we mean with at least three separate vacuumings.)
And so, for your viewing pleasure, I give [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alisonwonderland.wordpress.com&blog=3264056&post=1635&subd=alisonwonderland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>While I Was Upstairs Cleaning the Playroom&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; the Irish Twins were taking care of the living room:

(The fact that the Infantile Delinquent isn&#8217;t pictured does not mean he wasn&#8217;t involved (it means he was upstairs changing his underwear.))

Sometimes people joke with me about having more kids.
I don&#8217;t really think it&#8217;s funny.

		<title>Today Alison Wonderland is:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wearing too much eye makeup.  Because she can.
Refusing to let her nutrition grade bring down her GPA.  (Because c&#8217;mon it&#8217;s freaking nutrition!)
Wearing too much, too dark lipstick.
Trying to get her stupid washing machine to drain.
Wearing her, oft stained, Death Cab For Cutie t-shirt (I got the blood out, no problem but the chocolate ice cream, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alisonwonderland.wordpress.com&blog=3264056&post=1627&subd=alisonwonderland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
