			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Literally.  Yup, we just got one of those conveyor belts for walkers.  So now I&#8217;m trying to figure out how to make it more fun.  It&#8217;ll be in the living room, so we&#8217;ll be able to watch TV while exercising.  However, hubby has suggested we might mount some sort of bracket that could hold a laptop and/or book to distract us while we trudge off the poundage.  I kinda like his thinking, because I&#8217;m big into distraction.  <a href="http://www.johncandy.com/VideoDetail.aspx?VideoID=64&#038;VideoSection=18">And it also reminded me of this clip from that old classic movie, <em>Splash</em>.  (About a minute in.)  Ahh, John Candy.  You were so damn funny. </a>  That dude sure knew how to enjoy his racquetball!</p>
<p>What would you add to the bracket that might take our treadmill into a whole new entertainment venue?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Music has always had a powerful influence in my life.  I’ve been playing the piano since I was eight.  I’ve sung in choirs, on stage, and at people’s weddings.  I introduced my kids to music before they were born and maybe, just maybe, that’s part of the reason they’ve both chosen careers in the field.  [...]]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now if I could just figure out what I&#8217;m doing!  I like the idea of writing on a wall, but do I get to use crayons?  And is somebody&#8217;s mom going to yell at me afterward?  Also, what&#8217;s the deal about networks?  Somehow it just makes me feel like this enormous spider shooting out stickies that are bound to hit some poor schlep in the face.  And all he was doing was sitting innocently at his computer, typing away at a keyboard that happened to be in my general vicinity.  I&#8217;d rather be in a more open situation.  Like a festival.  Except it&#8217;s my party, so it&#8217;s global.  Now we&#8217;re talking fun!  <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1023331950" title="Jennifer's Facebook URL">So come join me friends</a>.  We&#8217;re having virtual chips and dip at my place while Aerosmith shakes my speakers.  The gamers are at the XBox 360, the DDR mats are full, and our Guildwars fans have set off on another quest, while the rest of us discuss just where in the world Jaz and Vayl will find themselves next.  (Possibilities include Hungary, Spain, Australia and the good old USA!) </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Of course I have no idea what I&#8217;m doing, so please be patient if it takes a couple of tries before I finally figure out how to add you to my friends list.  But definitely give me a <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jenniferrardin">visit</a>.  And, while you&#8217;re there, don&#8217;t hesitate to drop some pointers.  Like, how in the world do you get the music to transfer?  And what song, out of the hundreds that mean everything to you, are you supposed to pick?  Decisions, decisions. </p>
