		<title>The Odyssey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today marks the third day of my end of year vacation.  Not much planned, other than getting the kids off to their last day of school, therapy for the boy, a cut and color for me, a visit to Santa and packing.
Yes, I said packing. 
As someone who travels a fair amount for business, I can&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1242&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Greatest Gift of All</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may think I am talking about peace, love or happiness. But I&#8217;m not. I&#8217;m talking about coffee. Because you cannot have the first three with out the latter&#8230;
Let me explain. I never was a real coffee drinker. I got through college on a steady regimen of Diet Pepsi and tea. Twice in my early adult [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1237&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>On mothering a boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, we had my mom over to the house for a Hanukkah dinner.  Not growing up Jewish, I make sure it&#8217;s a well-choreographed occasion, with little margin for error.  Brisket bigger than smallest child?  Check.  Gobs of oil, normally forbidden, because it&#8217;s how you honor the holiday, and to hell with calories when you [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1229&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Scrooge and Cratchit Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Wiley colleague Matt McHugh has something up his sleeve today. He&#8217;s hoping to get a whole bunch of people to buy the ebook version of his own &#8221;Scrooge &#38; Cratchit&#8221; today, in an effort to move it onto a bestseller list.  
You can learn more about the book here.
You can buy it on Amazon here.  It&#8217;s only [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1224&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Black Friday &#8211; Just Say NO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I  was reading through Twitter Moms and a fun contest caught my eye.  To enter, bloggers have to write a post about their Black Friday shopping strategies.  I was reading through the entries and struck by how creative these women were, and how many DEALS they were going to be getting for their families. 
Then I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trueconfessions.wordpress.com&blog=968319&post=1216&subd=trueconfessions&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<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>
