		<description><![CDATA[This is (kind of) my Wordless Wednesday contribution.
Twice now, Hubs, a news photographer, and I, reporter, have taken our kids, ages 7 and 5, to the scene of tornado devastation.
And I&#8217;ve never had any qualms about it.
We answer their questions honestly and point out all the volunteers who arrive — every time — with water, [...]]]></description>

Those were the days when I could wear corduroy without the fear that someone could hear my thighs making that swish-swish sound as I walked. The days when it was fun to spend an hour (or two) on hair and makeup. Since becoming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, on the way home one evening, a car pulled out in front of me and — being the eloquent former Texan that I am — I let a few well-chosen words fly.
And then Tootie piped up:
&#8220;Mama, was that a bad car?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, sweetie. That person didn&#8217;t wait for her turn. We have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year, Hubs and I are participating in the father/daughter and mother/daughter routines for Tootie&#8217;s dance recital. And so are Moody Mom and her hubby.
First, I have to say that Hubs is a marvelous dancer, so his routine has been moving along nicely. As for me? Well, I can dance by myself, but I&#8217;m finding [...]]]></description>

You know &#8212; the ones with cryptic phrases and code words and pictures that would remind us of what we did that day without actually spelling it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mentioned before my love for Zumba, an aerobics class based on Latin fusion and hip-hop. It&#8217;s fun, doesn&#8217;t feel like exercise and you get to wear pants with streamers and tassles on them. (Hubs calls them &#8220;butt pasties.&#8221;)
Problem is, once you put on this pants, you want to set those hips in motion. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Transplants:
Many of you have been rather &#8230; well, smug &#8230; in recent days. Here in central Arkansas, temps plunged into single-digits last night, prompting those of us used to milder Southern winters &#8212; where snow remains very much a big deal &#8212; to complain about the frigid air and wintery precip.
I&#8217;ve read snarky comments [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d like to be one of those moms who gets all into bundling up right along with her little darlins&#8217; and building snowmen.
But I&#8217;m not.
See below.

So while I&#8217;d like to see a bit of the white stuff for the kids&#8217; sake, I&#8217;m more than happy to let Hubs handle all cold-weather activities. I prefer to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since retiring, my parents have taken to extensive traveling. Right now, they&#8217;re sailing the Atlantic, on their way to Puerto Rico, having just wrapped up a lengthy Mediterranean cruise.
When they&#8217;re not cruising, Mom and Dad hook up the fifth-wheel and roam across the country. They&#8217;ve had lots of adventures, some rather amusing.
A few years ago, [...]]]></description>

I had everything planned: my contributions to the dinner, my outfit and my children&#8217;s outfits. I imagined sweeping into Perfect Linda&#8217;s house, attired in my new sweater dress, carrying my food offerings and wearing a serene smile.
