I know, almost 2 years? I'm not good at this, and every time I try to update it, I have to figure out how to do it again because I can't remember...&lt;br /&gt;Since last time I posted here, both kids have graduated from high school. Tyson is on a 2 year mission in California, (he's already been out almost a year and will turn 20 years old this Saturday) and Bryttnii is finally 18 (according to her) and going to BYU Idaho.  I finally found a job 4 months ago, after the old company I was with for the last 15 years, closed and got us all laid off. It's hard to be without a job for an entire year when the money you were making before was barely covering your bills, and then you have none... 2010 has been a rough year, but we made it through and we are gradually coming out of the hole.  The new job doesn't pay very much, but I like it, and that is important to me right now.&lt;br /&gt;We have also been blessed with Roger coming back to church right before Tyson went on a mission. He has been already the Ward mission leader, and now is the Sunday School teacher, while for the last 2 years I've been in Primary. Not much else going on for now, I'll have to see if I can put up some "updated" pictures, but can't guarantee, Bryttnii won't let me photograph her.... teenagers!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5683695980921338387-7379428678027522839?l=lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/7379428678027522839/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5683695980921338387&amp;postID=7379428678027522839' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5683695980921338387/posts/default/7379428678027522839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5683695980921338387/posts/default/7379428678027522839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com/2011/02/well-its-been-while.html' title='Well, it&apos;s been a while...'/><author><name>Michela</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433075340709391343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SOBMNut3wdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/tqvB6PAWLSA/S220/Me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683695980921338387.post-1331245779676938782</id><published>2009-12-22T15:21:00.005-07:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T16:22:30.780-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What happened in 2009?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQEmqOj6I/AAAAAAAAAFA/VyD3ujHE8x0/s1600-h/DSC_0206.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 301px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQEmqOj6I/AAAAAAAAAFA/VyD3ujHE8x0/s320/DSC_0206.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418199866730778530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                                                                                                  Well, I guess I'll just keep this blog as my annual update, since I can't seem to be able to keep it up more often than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year just a few things happened:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My little baby, Bryttnii turned 17 yesterday Dec. 21st.  (I can't believe it!)  and today is Roger's Birthday, and of course he's at work.&lt;br /&gt;I really don't like their birthdays being around Christmas time, and I'm sure they like it even less....  It has always been hard to get friends together for Bryttnii's birthday when they are all out of town for Christmas vacation, but she was able to gather up a couple of them, and along with her brother Tyson, they went to the movies.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQFKJKG1I/AAAAAAAAAFI/WEDumI6dX7A/s1600-h/DSC_0509.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 439px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQFKJKG1I/AAAAAAAAAFI/WEDumI6dX7A/s320/DSC_0509.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418199876255750994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bryttnii is finishing her Senior year, and is trying to figure out what she wants to do after that.  She would love to go to BYU, but not sure what she wants to major on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Checks Unlimited closed its manufacturing department here in Colorado Springs at the beginning of October, and moved it to Kansas; so I lost my job, and am now in the process of sending resumes out to a bunch of companies, with no results, which is pretty much exactly what I was expecting in this economy.&lt;br /&gt;I took a few free classes at the Workforce Center here in town, and I'm toying with the idea of going back to school. Not exactly my cup of tea at this point in my life, but it's an option, as long as I can figure out how to pay for it, without a job!  ;p&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime I'm trying to tackle a couple of things at home, like de-cluttering closets, and painting.  The living room and &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQFayR8MI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/rCpWOoS0AOI/s1600-h/Senior+Ty7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 261px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQFayR8MI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/rCpWOoS0AOI/s320/Senior+Ty7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418199880723198146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;kitchen finally look decent with a coat of fresh paint on, but I'm not too motivated on my own, so the "to do list" is proceeding very slooowwwly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The really exciting thing right now is that Roger is again active in church, and Tyson is getting ready for his mission.  He got his wisdom teeth pulled, and all the medical exams are in order, except for one paper we are waiting on, then it's all ready to turn in.  Tyson will be turning 19 at the end of February, and he would love to be sent... anywhere in the US.&lt;br /&gt;I'm not even kidding!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQFgZD-fI/AAAAAAAAAFY/KsSNNxyWs-A/s1600-h/Senior+Tyson.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 222px; height: 312px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQFgZD-fI/AAAAAAAAAFY/KsSNNxyWs-A/s320/Senior+Tyson.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418199882228038130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, and the hope that 2010 will bring us all whatever is needed in our lives, along with the strength to overcome the unexpected.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5683695980921338387-1331245779676938782?l=lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/1331245779676938782/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5683695980921338387&amp;postID=1331245779676938782' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5683695980921338387/posts/default/1331245779676938782'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5683695980921338387/posts/default/1331245779676938782'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-happened-in-2009.html' title='What happened in 2009?'/><author><name>Michela</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433075340709391343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SOBMNut3wdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/tqvB6PAWLSA/S220/Me.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SzFQEmqOj6I/AAAAAAAAAFA/VyD3ujHE8x0/s72-c/DSC_0206.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683695980921338387.post-4755394508536509808</id><published>2009-01-02T08:44:00.006-07:00</published><updated>2009-01-03T08:27:56.198-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bryttnii's Birthday / Compleanno di Bryttnii</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SV43-C2izEI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/PkA2KBplLKY/s1600-h/Bryt+B-Day+roses.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SV43-C2izEI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/PkA2KBplLKY/s320/Bryt+B-Day+roses.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286724551636601922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;So, I forgot to mention that on December 21st, was Bryttnii's birthday.

(see her on the left) They go to school together and have been seeing each other for a month. This was their first time going out, but Tyson did not want to call it a "date", plus, I ended up taking them and bringing them home. Tyson has his license, but he's not 18 yet, so there are still some rules in Colorado that he needs to follow: he can only give a ride to family members for the first 6 months of holding his driver's license, then after 6 months of holding his license, he can give a ride to only ONE other person that's not a member of his family, but there were two: his girlfriend: Claire, and Bryttnii's friend: Renee. The other rule is that if you are not 18, you can't drive past midnight, so I ended up giving them a ride, which they didn't mind, but it also meant I had to stay awake until 12:30 to pick them up. I can't stay awake that late anymore. What I should have done is stay at the dance with them; the noise of the music would have kept me awake.... I think... On the way back, after dropping off the two friends, we got home at about 1:00 AM then it took me another hour to fall asleep, since Roger was snoring loudly... So, this morning, January 1st 2009, I didn't get up until 9:00 AM! Usually even on Saturdays, I get up by 7:00 AM when it's late!  Well, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;Ieri sera, per capodanno, i bambini sono andati a ballare con i giovani della chiesa, e Tyson ha portato anche la sua "ragazza"  (vedi foto sopra a sinistra). Vanno a scuola insieme, si stanno vedendo da un mese, e finalmente sono usciti per la prima volta alla danza di capodanno, e io ho dovuto accompagnarli e portarli a casa. Tyson ha la patente, ma ci sono diverse regole da seguire quando non hai 18 anni; una di esse e` che non puoi guidare dopo la mezzanotte, e l'altra e` che &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;dopo avere ottenuto la patente, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;puoi solo trasportare familiari per i primi 6 mesi e un'altra persona solamente DOPO i 6 mesi, poi dopo un anno dalla patente, puoi trasportare chiunque, a meno che tu abbia raggiunto i 18 anni di eta`. (Queste sono le regole del Colorado, ogni stato ha regole diverse). Siccome c'era Bryttnii e una sua amica, Tyson non avrebbe potuto guidare visto che ci sarebbero state due persone che non appartengono alla sua famiglia: l'amica di Bryttnii: Renee, e la ragazza di Tyson: Clara. A capodanno, la polizia e` dappertutto, per cui non vuoi farti trovare a disobbedire le regole della strada. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Naturalmente la maggior parte dei ragazzi qui non seguono tutte le regole, ma noi facciamo del nostro meglio per insegnarle e seguirle; cio` significa che sono dovuta accompagnarli alla danza, e rimanere sveglia fino a mezzanotte e mezza per andare a prenderli e portare a casa i loro amici prima di andare a letto. Non riesco piu` a stare sveglia cosi` tardi... Una volta sdraiata a letto, all'una del mattino, non sono riuscita ad addormentarmi per un'altra ora perche` Roger russava... cosi` stamattina, il primo Gennaio 2009, mi sono svegliata alle 9:00. Di solito sono sveglia alle 7:00 quando e` tardi!  Beh, BUON ANNO A TUTTI!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5683695980921338387-1946324744063646565?l=lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/1946324744063646565/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5683695980921338387&amp;postID=1946324744063646565' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5683695980921338387/posts/default/1946324744063646565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5683695980921338387/posts/default/1946324744063646565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com/2009/01/anno-nuovo-new-year_01.html' title='New Year...

Tyson ha gia` la patente, e Bryttnii ha il patentino. Si`, purtroppo qui in America i "bimbi" possono cominciare a guidare dai 15 anni, un po` troppo presto per i miei gusti, ma... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Di cose successe quest'estate abbiamo le seguenti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dopo un paio d'anni, siamo tornati a Salt Lake City a visitare il Tempio, e giustamente, la famiglia di Roger che non abita molto lontano da li`. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Tyson ha finalmente deciso che deve cominciare a lavorare se vuole frequentare l'universita`, che qui costa piu` o meno $ 14,000 all'anno, si`, avete letto giusto, non ho fatto un errore di tipografia... Siccome Tyson e` nella squadra di nuoto con la scuola superiore, ha deciso che vuole fare il bagnino di salvataggio nella piscina comunale. Cosi`, per due settimane, e` andato a scuola per ottenere il certificato di rianimazione cardiopolmonare, l'uso dell'ossigeno e del defibrillatore. Ha appena ricevuto tutti i certificati questa settimana, e ha gia` avuto un'intervista con il datore di lavoro alla piscina. Dovrebbero dargli una risposta questa settimana. Io spero bene, perche` Tyson e` proprio contento di poter ottenere questo lavoro. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Lui e` all'ultimo anno di scuola superiore, e vuole studiare per essere un programmatore di computer, e piu` specificatamente, un programmatore di videogiochi al computer. Ha gia` imparato i codici, e ha gia`creato alcuni video giochi da solo per far pratica. Lui e` proprio bravo a scuola, tanto che i professori lo usano come tutore per gli studenti che hanno bisogno di aiuto, per cui per lui non sara` difficile entrare in qualsiasi universita`, l'unico problema sara` come pagarla. Senza contare il fatto che vuole andare i missione, per cui se riesce a cominciare l'universita`, ne fara` solo un anno per cominciare, poi andra` in missione, e poi riprendera` gli studi quando ritorna. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Per quanto riguarda Bryttnii, una delle cose che sta facendo da 5 anni, e` suonare il flauto con la banda della scuola. Ha pure suonato il saxofono per un paio d'anni, ma per ora si concentra con il flauto. Lei infatti e` il capitano dei flautisti della banda, e ora stanno suonando per tutti i giochi di football della scuola ogni Venerdi` sera.&lt;br /&gt;Bryttnii ha una buona disposizione con i bambini, infatti l'ho osservata mentre faceva la babysitter a 3 mostriciattoli dai 2 ai 5 anni, e ha molta piu` pazienza di quel che ne avrei io!  Diventera` una brava mammina!  Lei, naturalmente, vuole pure andare all'universita`, ma non sa di sicuro cosa vuole studiare. E` molto interessata in archeologia, ma lei vorrebbe andare in Egitto a scavare e trovare relitti, e sinceramente parlando, finche` non si trova qualcosa di importante, non vieni pagato; per cui ora sta pensando a che tipo di lavoro potrebbe fare che le dia una paghetta mensile. Io le ho detto che potrebbe essere una professoressa di archeologia, ma lei ha risposto che non vuole insegnare a dei teen-agers dispettosi e senza rispetto per i professori, perche` a lei verrebbe la voglia di prenderli a sberle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Cosi`, dovra` trovare qualcos'altro da fare. Io le ho anche detto che sarebbe una brava scrittrice, visto che lei racconta delle storie con dei dettagli fenomenali che quando le leggi ti sembrea di essere proprio li` a partecipare. Quando ho un po` di tempo, vi tradurro` un racconto che lei ha inventato e scritto per una classe a scuola; il punteggio massimo che uno avrebbe potuto ottenere erano 250 punti, e il professore ne ha dato a lei 450! Figuratevi! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Roger, mio marito, lavora come camionista per una compagnia che si chiama ACE HARDWARE, e trasporta materiali da costruzione, pitture, materiali idraulici, ecc., ai diversi negozi del "fai da te" in diverse citta` .   La sua ultima "passione" di quest'estate e` stata quella di comprarsi una moto; pubblichero` una foto della sua moto e di quella di Tyson, si`, ne ha comprata una anche per lui.... Proprio ieri, erano andati a farsi un giro in moto, e Roger ha bucato la ruota. Che bellezza! Non e` il tipo di moto che puoi spingere fino a casa (anche se sarebbe stata dura spingerla per 8 Km.) cosi` abbiamo chiamato un nostro vicino che ha un rimorchio, perche` potesse andare a prendere Roger e trasportare la moto a casa. Che casino! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Io, lavoro da 11 anni in una fabbrica dove si fanno assegni.  Ho lavorato li` per i primi 8 anni nel dipartimento computer per l'immissione dei dati dei clienti, e per gli ultimi 3 anni sto lavorando nel dipartimento manifatturiero dove controlliamo gli assegni che escono dalle macchine stampanti, controlliamo che i dati siano stampati correttamente, &lt;em&gt;li mettiano nelle scatole, e li spediamo. Sembra facile descritto cosi`, ma e` un lavoro pesante e fisico,  e ultimamente sono dovuta andare dal medico e fare diverse terapie fisiche per le spalle, i gomiti e i polsi, perche` e` un lavoro totalmente ripetitivo e muovo le braccia e le spalle nella stessa direzione tutti i giorni per 8 ore al giorno... dopo un po` hai dolori e non ti muovi piu`....  Devo trovarmi un'altro lavoro, ma i cambiamenti sembrano essere piu` difficili da fare quando si diventa vecchi....&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5683695980921338387-7650849485317510085?l=lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com/feeds/7650849485317510085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5683695980921338387&amp;postID=7650849485317510085' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5683695980921338387/posts/default/7650849485317510085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5683695980921338387/posts/default/7650849485317510085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lanostravitainamerica.blogspot.com/2008/09/settembre-2008.html' title='Avvenimenti Recenti...'/><author><name>Michela</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433075340709391343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xvWuqGq9-ek/SOBMNut3wdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/tqvB6PAWLSA/S220/Me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
