    <about><![CDATA[When I'm not taking care of my baby and husband, I like to: read an interesting book, go antique shopping, watch a good movie, sleep-in, challenge you to a game of trivial pursuit, go to the playground and swing, listen to my favorite music, have a political discussion, sing in the shower, dance in front of a mirror, cook up something fabulous for friends/family, go swimming, crochet a cute scarf, write important messages on my blogs, call my girlfriends, paint a picture, take a picture, work in my garden and laugh really loud...<br/>]]></about>
