		<description><![CDATA[At a recent party with some families from my childrens’ elementary school,  I asked a woman where she lived.  She described the house and I said, &#8220;Oh I love that house! It&#8217;s one of my divorce houses.&#8221; &#8220;Divorce houses?&#8221; &#8220;Yes, you know, the houses you imagine moving into and mentally decorate when you fantasize about leaving your husband and living alone?&#8221; Awkward silence. Oops. Am I the only one? I love my husband. I really do. And I actually like him too. But there are those times &#8211; like when he places his fantasy league championship trophy, a bobblehead, on the fireplace mantle and every time the skull mug from his frat house days reappears because, &#8220;It&#8217;s great for holding change,&#8221; or he starts another so-called home improvement project, that I imagine life as a single dweller. Source: mochatini.org via Hello_Ladies on Pinterest &#62; And so sometimes, while I’m walking, running or driving around town, I spot a house that meets my criteria: - close to my current home so my husband and I can share custody and I can drop by frequently to visit and maybe stay for dinner (because while I wouldn’t miss his bobblehead I would miss [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Sue Shellenbarger at the Wall Street Journal blog The Juggle recently wrote about women&#8217;s decision to change their names when they get married. Apparently, research shows more women are taking their husbands name and that the number of women who kept their maiden names (hate that term) actually peaked in the 1990s at around 23 percent and then started to backslide.  Does this surprise anyone else? Of course, per Shellenbarger&#8217;s story, there are pockets of the female population where keeping your birth name (that&#8217;s better) is more common: -          Well-educated women in high earning occupations -          Women in medicine, the arts and entertainment -          Women who marry after age 35. www.skinnyscoop.com Despite what my parents think, I didn’t keep my name because of my career. I am in public relations for god&#8217;s sake. The reporters who hung up on me as Ms. Jones, were still going to hang up on me if I became Mrs. Smith. I kept my name because it&#8217;s my name and while marriage requires compromise, like watching ESPN, well, all the time, and allowing the baseball bobble heads from the fantasy league to be displayed on the mantel (He&#8217;s the league champ, what can I say?), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Too many men in their 20s are living in a new kind of extended adolescence,&#8221; argues Kay S. Hymowitz in a recent essay published in the Wall Street Journal. Hymowitz is the author of &#8220;Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men Into Boys.&#8221; According to Hymowitz, the average American man used to achieve &#8220;most of the milestones of adulthood&#8221; like a good job, wife and children, in his 20s. But today, the author observes, &#8220;most&#8221; 20-something men act like aged frat boys, hanging out drinking beer and discussing Star Wars. And this, says Hymowitz, is frustrating &#8220;legions&#8221; of 20-something women. Really? Census data and statistics show today&#8217;s 20 something women are more likely to be single, well-educated and higher paid (even out-earning male counterparts in some cities) than in years past. Is it true that they have just &#8220;one key question&#8221; on their minds – &#8220;Where have the good men gone?&#8221; Perhaps these women are thinking about their careers, their friends and family, shaping their own lives. Imagine that. And if they knew what we 40-something women know, they might see lots of opportunity in the men&#8217;s&#8217; behavior. That 20-something men aren&#8217;t acting like their fathers, isn’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a scary story to send women back to the kitchen: the more economically dependent a man is on his female partner, the more likely he is to cheat on her. A new study from the American Sociological Association is generating lots of coverage. My favorite headlines for this story so far are:  from Science2.0.com: &#8220;Kept Men More Likely To Cheat Than Bigger Breadwinners&#8221; from the Toronto Sun: &#8220;She Pays the Bills, He Cheats&#8221; and from the Winnipeg Free Press: &#8220;When She Pays, He Plays.&#8221;  The study reveals men who are financially dependent on a female partner are five times more likely to cheat than men who contribute an equal amount of income to the partnership. It&#8217;s the demise of the American family, the American workforce, life as we know it. If only we women could just stay home, have babies, stop demanding paid maternity leave and stealing our men&#8217;s jobs. And, if we crazy feminists still insist on working, can&#8217;t we at least just take part time gigs? Because the study also reveals that men in relationships with women who make only three quarters of the men&#8217;s income were the least likely to cheat.  But wait. There&#8217;s more.

		<description><![CDATA[(We decided to lighten things up today. So for your reading pleasure, a love story.)  I&#8217;m lying in bed with my husband and he starts talking about how he could really go for a great filet. &#8220;Is there anything coming up,&#8221; he asks, &#8220;where I could ask my Mom to babysit and we could go out for a steak dinner?&#8221; &#8220;Think,&#8221; I say, &#8220;Think.&#8221; &#8220;What?&#8221; &#8220;We could go on a date.&#8221; &#8220;Oh, I know that,&#8221; he says. &#8220;But I&#8217;d rather kill two birds with one stone. I know. We can go out for Valentine&#8217;s Day. Early.&#8221; It’s October. &#8220;It&#8217;s so hard to get a reservation on Valentine&#8217;s Day,&#8221; he reasons. &#8220;This way we wouldn&#8217;t have a problem and we wouldn&#8217;t have to fight the crowds.&#8221; Silence. &#8220;Isn&#8217;t there a Smith &#38; Wollensky&#8217;s nearby?&#8221; Shut up.    ]]></description>
