		<title>Firsts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I painted a hairless cat. My first one. Technically, he&#8217;s a charcoal grey Peterbald; his name is Esau, and I think he&#8217;s quite grand.
He belongs to actor Mayim Bialik, whom I met at the MTV Movie Awards Gift Suite in June. You&#8217;ve seen her in everything from Blossom to Beaches, but I must say my most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve probably titled three or four posts &#8220;Weekend Update,&#8221; but only because I want to be Tina Fey when I grow up. Short of that, I think I&#8217;ll just keep painting.

		<title>Bundle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a bundle of nerves. I have been for days. I drop things. I snap at people. My kids are back to calling me Mad Mom, and only half jokingly.
Someone spilled an entire bottle of glue on the wood floor and let it dry.
There was a glob of jelly on the carpet.
My husband made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Muse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This painting has been rattling around in my head for months. Months. Before Evelyn Evelyn released an album. Before I went to the concert in May.
I knew exactly what I wanted to paint &#8211; an image as haunting as the album and its concept. My daughter and her big brown eyes would be a perfect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bonjour!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Twitter, it&#8217;s Bastille Day. Everything I knew about this holiday was forgotten somewhere between now and 9th grade history class, so the only thing French I can contribute is this.
French Bulldogs.



Martha Stewart&#8217;s French Bulldogs, Sharkey and Francesca. As seen on marthastewart.com.

Au revoir.

		<title>Close Call</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I was away visiting the kids, and my husband was doing a triathlon in Washington which meant that for 36 hours our cats were without people. Here&#8217;s how it usually goes: Steve gets really ticked off and spends a few hours upon our return scolding us and acting all superior; Birch stays indoors [...]]]></description>

		<title>Details</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I left my kids today. They are spending a sizable chunk of their summer vacation with their grandparents because 1) I don&#8217;t want to pay a babysitter if I don&#8217;t have to; and b) they have fun there.
So that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing.
My kids are being juggled between two sets of grandparents (in the same town) [...]]]></description>
