But... I am not so sure that I've perfectly defined which is which. I think busy means you get done the things you absolutely have to do, and then you fit in whatever you want to do as best you can....</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/653386"><title>I'm back...

I am looking forward to blogging with you all again. Things have been busy for me -- I've gotten married (a few months before I stopped posting), bought a house, and adopted the most adorable puppy. I'll share details soon, but I wanted to let you know...</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/513347"><title>What are some fun things for married couples to do, other than the obvious?</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/513347</link><description>I feel like we do a lot of TV watching and movie watching, and sleeping and such, but what is there to do besides? I think the winter is full of much downtime. Still happy and in love, but just wondering what else there is for we married couples to be doing, hehe.</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/508992"><title>The Sleepy Husband</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/508992</link><description>Somehow, he managed to fall asleep during an alien movie. How, I do not know. I am usually too on the edge of my seat during scary movies to fall asleep. He's been sleeping peacefully, cuddled up on the couch for about an hour and a half now. I just got done cleaning the living room, dining room,...</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/508433"><title>I'm MARRIED!! :) I'm Somebody's WIFE!</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/508433</link><description>And that somebody just happens to be the love of my life, the man of my dreams - the one I can never get enough of!

The sooner you stash the cash in the bank, the more interest you can make between now and the time you take it out. I even think this applies for Blogit. My original goal was to make it to...</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/467859"><title>Writing My Way to a Wedding</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/467859</link><description>So no one really wants to pay for my wedding. Not the groom, surely not his parents, and not my parents, since his parents feel that way. So I've taken it upon myself to write my fingers to the bone and write every spare moment I get so I can earn as much money and collect on as many invoices as...</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5496/448997"><title>Why I've Been Gone for So Long....

I just wanted to drop a quick line to let you know I am still alive and to let you know why I've been gone for so long. My sweetheart J and I bought a house together in February.

I don't know why, but I'd rather do more work than collect on the work I've already done....

I could make $5 per article, and I would bust my tail to make that five bucks. I still do that sometimes, but usually only when I am selling my articles as reprints. It isn't that I've become a writing...</description></item></rdf:RDF>
