		<title>the engineer&#8217;s daughter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh there was an engineer, he had two innocent daughters
And the elder of them, she found a man much like her father
He loved her so gently and held her so tenderly
&#8216;Twasn&#8217;t difficult to see why she wanted the wedding
Oh in the beginning they were in like with each other
They weren&#8217;t sure but they thought that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=201&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>a leaf falls on loneliness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first encountered this poem by e.e. cummings in one of my high school English classes taught by Mrs. Summers (and a lovely young soul she was to match that name!). It seemed just right for tonight&#8217;s long-overdue post.

		<title>on long-winded-ness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WordPress has this handy feature for its members called &#8220;Tag Surfer&#8221;. You give it a tag you&#8217;re interested in (i.e., two of mine are &#8220;marriage&#8221; and &#8220;pharmacy&#8221;) and it gives you the most recent posts with those tags. In this way, you can find blogs that may interest you and add them to your Blog [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=194&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>the silent b</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those words. Those dreadful, dreaded, unavoidable words. They make all the difference in the conversation.
&#8220;I can&#8217;t talk long tonight.&#8221;
When Beloved has work to do, he has work to do. He still has a year to uphold his end of the scholarship agreement. And that means some nights we don&#8217;t get to talk. Oh sure, there&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=192&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>[gotcha!] i have been temperate always, but</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Congratulations, faithful reader (or two or three; however many of you there are): you&#8217;ve probably noticed that this post doesn&#8217;t quite follow my usual scheme. Know why? Because someone else wrote it! &#8220;But, it does sound somewhat like you, though!&#8221; I know, I know. That&#8217;s what happens when my right brain (aka Anna) takes over [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=181&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>going up?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WARNING: SPOILER!
I must say, this newest gem from Pixar is their most mature piece of art yet.  UP captured the very soul of endearment and captivated me from its bittersweet beginning to sweeter end.  The exposition: Carl and Ellie Frederickson&#8217;s sixty-odd-year marriage unfolded in five wordless minutes, showing rather than telling us how they gracefully [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=174&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>forever begins now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something happened to me this evening that turned my whole body into Jello.
Very. Excited. Jello.
The best place to start these type things is the beginning, but that was so long ago and the journey so arduous that I must needs save it for another day. So instead, please allow me to begin at the commencement [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=171&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>no happy medium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is it about staying up &#8217;til three and awakening at the crack of seven that is so frustrating during finals week?  The fact that I can&#8217;t keep up with (or get too far ahead of, I don&#8217;t know which) my own body.  Last night&#8211;or rather, this morning&#8211;I was at the top of my mental [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=169&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>if not answers, grant me patience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Under normal circumstances, I would say that patience is a virtue that I have a firm grasp on.  At least, the semblance of it.  I can sit and wait for food in a restaurant (usually) without wondering how much longer it will take.  I can retreat into my own mind and there be entertained while [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=165&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>march madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must have been out of my head! Honestly, how could I have even imagined that I would be able to sing at a funeral and immediately jump headlong into mission work with ten of my upbeat, enthusiastic peers?
What really happened was this: Saturday morning I spent taking my time getting everything together for the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mariesmusings.wordpress.com&blog=4227043&post=157&subd=mariesmusings&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
