Suffice to say, while she certainly seemed to enjoy her trip to the land of the giant chocolate chip cookie, I am sure my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, So good of you to come shopping with me yesterday pm &#8211; how clever of you to think of throwing the cherubs in aftercare! It&#8217;s a cold, lonely world out there, when one continues to shop in stores where the combined ages of the assistants still fails to match one&#8217;s own, so the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[P, In an effort to re-direct some of my postpartum middle excess to the bodies of lithe young twenty somethings, I have joined a new yoga class full of just said type.&#160; The studio director, BS, is, shall we say, skilled in the ways women long to be touched.&#160; Although it&#8217;s clear he prefers certain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[C, Does BS stand for what I think it does? If so, it only confirms what I always suspected about yoga, although part of me secretly longs to believe you can really can achieve Nirvana by wrapping your legs round your ears.&#160; Touchy-feely is always good too, although I fear I can offer neither riches, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[P, I always admire your ability to discern, and so thoughtfully, the truly important qualities that allow a woman to shine.&#160; In DC, however, perhaps unlike in London, where all the pasty faced skinnies luxuriate, we Americans find another quality as important: having a great deal of money and/or power.&#160; Yes, it&#8217;s true: come to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, It seems, ever since I&#8217;ve been in Florida, that I have inadvertantly hit upon my own version of the South Beach diet &#8211; you know, the low-fat, low-carb form of torture no doubt currently being practiced on prisoners at Guantanemo, along with other sadistic practices (but that&#8217;s a subject for another time).&#160; My [...]]]></description>

Instead of berating you for your failed attempt at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, I feel so used. So scared and ashamed. Oh sure, it was a thrill at the time &#8211; frankly, I&#8217;ve never felt so alive, so free. I even thought&#160; I might perhaps get away with it &#8211; just this once, you understand. And I&#8217;ve been so good for so long! But the truth [...]]]></description>
