		<title>Things I am Thankful for Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last Thanksgiving I posted 25 things I am thankful for- a list enompssing all of the easy gratitudes including family, friends, music, work, my apartment and more.  I have decided to make this  a tradition, so each year it will get increasingly difficult but hopefully more meaningful as well.  To aid in this endeavour [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=1017&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Murtaugh List and Regina Spektor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So last week I went to a Regina Spektor concert.  She is a very talented singer born in Russia who fits well into the indie female folksy genre that is so popular.  She is similar to Ingrid Michaelson, Norah Jones, Aimee Mann, and Missy Higgins.  In fact, in some ways I like her better because [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=987&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Favorite Movies of The Decade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So I was watching At the Movies and they are doing a series of their &#8220;Top Ten Movies of the Decade&#8221;.  This week they put their 10th and 9th selections. Ironically of the 4 movies already selected I have only viewed one of them- Million Dollar Baby.  For various reasons I missed the other three.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=974&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I finally got a photo of my new niece.  Her name is Sparrow Cortez Arntzen Wagner.  It&#8217;s a mouthful but I like it!  She is so cute.  I hope I get to see her sometime soon.

		<title>Halloween and a Visit from Julia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few years my friend Julia and I have been exchanging visits.  It is truly the most lovely thing.   I go to Vegas to see her, she comes to SLC to visit me.  These trips have ranged from a weekend to a full week and have been at all different times of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=956&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Roommate Reunion and Ingrid Michaelson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have mentioned on this blog that my current roommate is my 30th.  Over the years I have shared apartments with 30 different women.  They have each taught me much and almost all have been positive experiences.  That said- some have risen to the top and become life-long friends while a few more have made [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=939&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mysterious Benedict Society</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello my name is Madeline.  I have hijacked Rachel&#8217;s blog for the evening.  I wanted to let all of you know about the book I just read.  It is full of excitement, dramatic moments, and surprises. This book made me crazy because I did not want to put it down.
Here is a small summary about [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=936&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>General Conference and Family</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend has been a delight.  On Friday my family (minus Ben and Megan&#8217;s families) came into town.  They are here to visit us (Anna and I) and to attend General Conference for our church.  General Conference is a massive meeting where we get to hear from our prophet, apostles and other leaders. I look [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=926&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How to Make Friends and Influence People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is more of a question than anything else.  How do you effectively make friends as a mature adult?  Lately I have been a little discouraged over my friend situation.  I&#8217;ve mentioned it before but three of my best friends have moved in the last few months and a ton have gotten married, engaged [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=918&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Things I am NOT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On September 15th Draper City had a primary election for its mayoral and councilperson races.  As I have never missed an election (even on my mission) this was no exception and I dutifully filled out my absentee ballot.  Before doing so I read the candidate bio sheet to try and make an informed decision.  It [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smilingldsgirl.wordpress.com&blog=3710298&post=910&subd=smilingldsgirl&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
