		<title>Frank Pepe&#8217;s Yonkers Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The opening of the newest Frank Pepe&#8217;s Pizzaria in Yonkers has been a most eagerly-awaited event in the IT household.  You see, we&#8217;re pizza geeks.  Can&#8217;t get enough of the stuff, carbs, South Beach and Atkins be damned.  We love a lot of kinds of pizza, where it&#8217;s Chicago style, NY style, thin crust, thick&#8230;.the only [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1206&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Book Clubbing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got an email from another parent a few weeks ago alerting me to the fact that our girls and others had been discussing starting a book club.  What did I think, and was I willing to help run it, she asked.  I was thrilled.  I thought it was a great idea.  I was so [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1199&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Disney on Ice Ticket Offer and Giveaway</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people who know me know I&#8217;m a Disney freak.  Inherited from my mom, and now passed down to my kids.  Soccer Girl&#8217;s favorite place on earth is Walt Disney World and she has written many a school paper on her experiences at the park.  IT Boy too is a fan, albeit on a smaller [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1181&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Are you ready for some REAL football, aka soccer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another fall transition this year occured with Soccer Girl starting to play at a club team level.  She&#8217;s on a team in a new club that was formed by our local AYSO, called ADFH United.  The initals are for the three Rivertowns that comprise the club, namely Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry and Hastings.  No, I didn&#8217;t pick [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1187&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Transitions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I freely admit I am no fan of fall.  Sure, apple picking, pumpkin carving and stunning foliage are nice, but they hide a bitter reality &#8211; winter.  I would be perfectly accepting of fall if it didn&#8217;t signal the return to dark days, scraping off my car in the morning, and snow and ice.  Sure, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1179&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Vaccination = yes.  Flu mist = Hell NO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I took IT Boy and Soccer Girl to the doctor for their annual checkup.  Despite my making a point to remember what a horrible experience it was to take a physician-phobic 2 year old on a doctor appointment at the same time as his 9 year old sister, I repeated the error of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1174&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Amazon vs WalMart and the $9 book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Amazon and Walmart began a battle of the behemoths as both brought prices on bestselling hardcovers down down down, ultimately to just about $9. 
It&#8217;s going to be interesting to see this play out.  Like the WSJ article suggests, it&#8217;s not just a book battle.  They&#8217;re only talking about low pricing on 10 books, not the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1172&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>If you like it, tell a friend&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I was the recipient of a note from someone in our sales group asking about why Amazon reviews for our books were dwindling.  Not in quality, in quantity. 
You see, as a book publisher, we actively encouage our authors to ask their friends to write Amazon reviews.  We ask bloggers and other key influencers to write Amazon [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1168&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Back to Basics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an interesting conversation with 2 very cool women at BlogHer last month.  Specifically, I stopped by Bridget Brennan&#8217;s book signing and stayed to chat with her for a bit.  After yaking for about a half an hour, we were joined by another woman and the topic turned to publishing and book promotion.  They posed the question [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1163&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Back to school (almost)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s kind of weird to have a 2 week summer vacation, but that&#8217;s the life of the IT Boy.  Last Friday was the final day for Boy at his early intervention pre-school.  The day after Labor Day, he will start in at a new CPSE pre-school.  That means for us 2 weeks without school and very few [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1156&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
