		<description><![CDATA[Naked blogging means not only are you baring your body to the world, but you are bearing your soul. There is no censoring.  It is what writers refer to as being honest.

For instance, I can tell you that for the last several weeks I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these next ten years, what they will bring, and how to have 100% Hotter Sex. (Sorry, there’s a Cosmo* lying by the bed. Distracting.)  And thanks to naked blogging, I can also tell you that to be perfectly honest, I have absolutely no idea what to do with this new decade... and that’s scary.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pleasehugme.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10230154&amp;post=136&amp;subd=pleasehugme&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It ended like this:  Sneaking out the back door to avoid the owners of the house suing me for over $10,000 dollars worth of water damage (including their Christmas tree, and all of their presents), and the happiest of holidays ruined for the nice family with the house on the hill.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pleasehugme.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10230154&amp;post=128&amp;subd=pleasehugme&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
