		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year 2013!!! This gypsy mom&#8217;s life has gotten entirely more interesting, more fun, more safe, more stable, more secure, more more more more more amazing than ever before. When I compare my life today to that of exactly one year ago, I am nothing short of flabbergasted. My life is everything I have ever wanted and more. Two years ago, I was crying out &#8220;I need help&#8221; and today, I have all the help I need. In the past, I struggled to make ends meet and take care of the kids and the house. There are only 24&#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m the cheerleader, the advice giver, the pep-talker.  Whatever was crushing my spirit needed to just go away.  I was determined to continue trudging through life forcing myself to believe that something was wrong with me for being unhappy. I can change ME, it&#8217;s the ONLY thing I can change. So dammit, why are none of&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my definition of Gypsy, there&#8217;s a lot of art.  I enjoy painting. 15 Years ago when my soon-to-be-ex-husband and I were living in Lynnwood, Washington (curiously it&#8217;s an 8 mile drive that takes almost an hour sometimes) we had an apartment in a corporate housing area. Many of our neighbors were in Lynnwood on a 6 month contract and they sometimes had a habit of throwing away furniture when they moved out.  Our home was located just above the dumpsters and I could casually scan throughout the day and pick up desks, dressers, tables, chairs, even a bicycle once.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I want my kids to have a sense of entitlement.  They are entitled, simply by virtue of existence: * to be listened to by people who strive to understand and appreciate them on their level&#160; * to be most greatly influenced by people who take the time to express differing perspectives in a way that can help them learn empathy and compassion as well as whatever else the person has to offer * to speak out loud, and say whatever they feel is necessary without fearing that they&#8217;re &#8220;not worthy&#8221; or that their opinion isn&#8217;t valid or worse, that their&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We were stopped in El Paso overnight. It was 107 degrees and my pansy ass wasn&#8217;t the slightest bit bothered by the heat because the previous day we&#8217;d been in Mesa, Arizona roasting (OK&#8230; lounging by the pool with friends) at 112 degrees, so 107 was nothing. El Paso&#8230; big city with lots of resources and things-to-do, but the Internet on my phone wasn&#8217;t working and I couldn&#8217;t look anything up. Sometimes I feel like that guy in Quantum Leap who follows the main character around, looking things up on his handheld device. I love that I can answer some&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can you believe we boondocked in Malibu for a month? I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s even possible.. Just outside of Zuma Beach on  PCH, they allow overnight parking. We also enjoyed spending time at the tidepools and caves at Leo Carrillo State Beach This was the longest we&#8217;d stayed in any one area during this trip and even then we drove into the San Fernando Valley to visit with family while we were there, so it wasn&#8217;t a continuous stay in Malibu. But still.. close enough. It was close enough that I got used to hearing the waves lapping at the&#8230;]]></description>

He&#8217;s a cinematographer (which is a fancy way of saying that he&#8217;s the one who decides how the movie will look, choosing camera angles, lenses, filters, camera movement and designing the layout of the lights) Its all terribly glamorous, trust me Here is a link to our Denver Slideshow (or watch it below in most browsers) The kids enjoyed the stroll through downtown, posing with every statue we came across (of&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the light from the first few rays of sun began to glow on the horizon, I could tell there was magic in the air. I wasn&#8217;t sure if it was delirium or real magic, but it was something noticeable and profound at that moment and I later decided that it was magic, without a doubt. Betty the Beaver had been climbing uphill for hours, the San Raphael Swell on Interstate 70 is brutal. She was getting hot and Brandon pulled over to let her cool down a bit. She&#8217;s old, though, and some of her (brand new) spark plug&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK- I&#8217;ve never ever said &#8220;Cowgirl up&#8221; before, and I&#8217;m not sure what the term means. Is it a reference to &#8220;cowboy up&#8221; and is that a rodeo term and does that mean like &#8220;sit on that bull and show us how badass you are?&#8221; If so, then that&#8217;s the official permanent title of this blog post. But if someone sends me a note telling me it means something else, then I might just call it &#8220;Things we did in Cheyenne.&#8221; Either way, you&#8217;ll know. It was over 100 degrees the first day we were in Cheyenne. We all felt&#8230;]]></description>
