		<title>Denver, ho</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Denver. The affair started in college when five friends and I decided to rent a van and gallivant across the Texas desert panhandle and up into the mountainous state for a bit of vacation. We camped, ate, drank, adventured. We all slept in the same bed, and played dominoes at nightfall.
Fast forward a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bluebonnets and Blue Bell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I REALLY get into bluebonnet hunting. Here in Texas, the arrival of the bluebonnets along our highways and country roads are much anticipated. They signal wonderful weather (for about a month) and showcase the rolling prairie hills and rocky cacti-speckled landscape. Last year the bluebonnets were less than spectacular, largely due to the insane drought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Impromptu BBQ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the weekends the Spangler household can usually be found filled to the brim with yummy home-cooked food, scads of close friends and a bevy of potluck dishes sitting all lined up in a row on our long kitchen bar. We are the potluck household, and more often than not our weekends are spent in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Asos Curve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am loving the Asos Curve selection at Asos.com. Curvy girls just get the shaft when it comes to clothing. We can&#8217;t shop at most stores, and sure you can scour the web for cute finds&#8230; but what happens more often than not (unless you really know your measurements that correlate with that brand&#8217;s sizing) [...]]]></description>

		<title>the shift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SXSW is over. HURRAH! Wait, is that how I&#8217;m supposed to feel?
This year I just couldn&#8217;t get into it. I ended up not being able to take off work, and like an idiot (read: responsible, helpful, born leader) I volunteered to help plan my company&#8217;s SXSW party. In summary, I had virtually no time or [...]]]></description>

		<title>And they teach us about ourselves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a harried day. This morning I had to call and raise hell with the utilities company here in Austin. They can&#8217;t seem to comprehend an address change to the house next door. Then I got some bad news from my work regarding taking time off for SXSW (the music event of the year, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A wee taste</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you want to know what&#8217;s up in the world of Spangler? We&#8217;ve slowly been hanging art and such in our house. The process is slow&#8230; we got burnt out after our painting marathon. Want a wee taste via really grainy Instagram (follow me @shrielenee) photos? Sure you do!










Hang tight for a real deal house [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paint fumes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we&#8217;re painting. And taping. I swear, I probably spent six hours JUST taping everything off. I mean, we may be newbies to this homeowner/DIY home project stuff but I don&#8217;t want it to look sloppy!
But the painting&#8230; painting one or two rooms turned into painting every room but one. Once we patched some holes [...]]]></description>

		<title>I can see our new house from next door</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we&#8217;ve closed on our house and are in the process of acquiring the multitudes of &#8220;house stuff&#8221; that we need. Since we didn&#8217;t use all of our downpayment money for the downpayment, we have a little bit of wiggle room. Instead of getting sparkly new countertops (we&#8217;ll do that in the summer with our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beguiled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just so you know, I&#8217;ve been bewitched and beguiled by Pinterest. I resisted, OH HOW I RESISTED. But it nabbed me anyway&#8230; and at the most perfecto time because we&#8230; just bought a house!
The journey so far in house-buying has been a bit stressful. We didn&#8217;t win a bid on the first house we THOUGHT [...]]]></description>
