		<title>Why are companies messing with plus-size clothing sizes?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something that&#8217;s been bothering me recently is sizing of plus-size clothing. It&#8217;s never the same, no matter where you go. A 1X at one place is a 2X in another or a Large in another.  A lot of places are also now using what I like to call &#8220;feel better&#8221; sizes. Instead of a 1X, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=78&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How do you solve a problem like Mar&#8230;er&#8230;Daffy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This question was a bit too long for Twitter so I figured I&#8217;d post it here. Any advice that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Daffy is currently on doggy anti-anxiety meds (yes, we&#8217;re under advisement of a vet AND behaviorist and yes, they&#8217;re necessary &#8211; for now). The last few days, she&#8217;s not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=73&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What do you want to do?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It took me a lot longer to get to this than I had expected but, anyway, here it is:
I had a meeting with my manager a few weeks ago and he gave me homework for our next meeting.  We&#8217;re working on mid-year reviews and he asked me to think about what I would like to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=58&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>UX Books &amp; Sites: Recommendations from practitioners to a newbie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Later on, I&#8217;ll do a post about what prompted this. Right now I just wanted to put up a short post where I can list the results.


Earlier this morning, I sent out the following message on Twitter:
UX friends: If you could recommend 1 book &#38;/or site to someone thinking of getting into the field, what [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=47&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Why Am _I_ Green?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may have noticed the sea of green avatars on Twitter and some other social applications recently. If you ask people why, they&#8217;ll tell you it&#8217;s in support of the protesters in Iran. But what exactly does that mean? What are they actually supporting? If you ask different people, you&#8217;ll probably get several different answers.

		<title>It&#8217;s a girl!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe how long it&#8217;s been since I&#8217;ve posted anything new. The holidays have just flown by (as have January through April)!
So, yes, we have a new addition to our little family! Before anyone gets too excited, we adopted a dog! Daffy joined our family on December 14th. She was kind of a birthday/Christmas [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=22&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Does it really matter?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the U.S. Presidential Election quickly approaching, I guess it&#8217;s fitting that my post has to do with the candidates (more specifically, Barack Obama) and the issues I have with small minded people.
I received an email from a co-worker/friend that had been forwarded from one of their friends that had been forwarded from one of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=21&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Taking People For Granted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of you may have read the story somewhere.  There&#8217;s a 9 year-old little boy (Brett) in the Children&#8217;s Hospital in Birmingham who has a rare brain cancer that is believed to be terminal.  There&#8217;s a hospital in New York that has a treatment that is undergoing clinical trials.  Brett&#8217;s family is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=20&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Are you my mother? Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If anyone is wondering, I decided I&#8217;m not doing it.  I&#8217;m not going to contact her.  I can&#8217;t put myself through taking the chance that I&#8217;ll be let down again.  I went through that with my father.  If she wanted to contact me bad enough, she could.  She knows where [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=19&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Are you my mother?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s now 12:30 AM and I&#8217;m exhausted, but I can&#8217;t sleep and I have a raging headache.
I want to preface this entire thing with the fact that I would not change one single thing about my life growing up.  My mom (really my grandmother) is one of the best things that ever happened [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennifercarvin.com&blog=7833527&post=18&subd=jcarvin77&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
