		<title>&#8220;Machel&#8217;s Ranch,&#8221; The Rancho Santa Fe News: Baking prove good for the Soul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m not really one to rant on something. Originally, I had submitted a different story for my column. What I had sent in was an opinion on “zip code snobbery,” which I’m sure none of you are really concerned about. Sometimes sleeping on it is exactly what everyone needs to do. After reading it the next morning, I decided if someone wants to feel better about their zip code, what’s so terrible about that? You work hard, you slave, and if where you live makes you feel better about tackling this life, by all means indulge in those feelings. What&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;ABC&#8217;s The Bachelor Pad Recap~</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight&#8217;s premier show was actually&#8230;fabulous. I must say this 1st season will surely launch the next hot reality show for ABC. If you are bored on Monday nights, there is no reason to be anymore. Tune in to this two hour reality show for some fun fluffy entertainment. Gorgeous men and women from previous Bachelor and Bachelorette shows compete on boys verses girls teams (think SURVIVOR here), and they vote off their least favorite at the end of the show. With challenges that can win you a rose, plus a date with three others, this show is promising to be&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>ABC&#8217;s Bachelorette is engaged to Roberto-San Diego will be their new address</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After watching ABC&#8217;s The Bachelorette finale last night, 11.6 million viewers found out some important facts, like Ali and Roberto are moving to San Diego. Chris Harrison sound off on, ATFR, questions viewers couldn&#8217;t to find out the answers, while these two love birds giggled and cuddled with complete adornment for one another. Ali even states to Chris, &#8220;He loves me so much,&#8221; with such pride it almost broke the cameras. The question is, does Ali just like being adored, or is there really true love behind her eyes, too? Only time will tell. As a San Diego resident, it&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>ABC&#8217;s The Bachelorette, Spoiler Alert- Ali is definitely engaged!~Guess Who!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reality Steve has admitted today that his sources got it wrong! Yes, that&#8217;s right, the king of reality t.v. gossip has admitted to his error. With conspiracies flying that he is linked to Mike Fleiss &#8216;behind the scenes,&#8217; one might wonder if this season he falsified his information just to throw off the those who have figured out there really could be a link with Fleiss. The best news for the viewers is Ali does choose someone in tonight&#8217;s finale. Ali won&#8217;t be leaving Bora Bora alone, and Frank will be regretting his decision for a very long time.

		<title>Paperback Novels and the institution of Marriage-&#8221;Machel&#8217;s Ranch,&#8221; The Rancho Santa Fe News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m a book fanatic. Some people are proud of their iPad. I’m proud of my pile of books sitting in a basket next to my bed. I have a photo on the cover of my phone that reads, “Happiness is a cup of coffee and a good book.” My husband keeps telling me that at some point books will all be online and there will be no need to go to a bookstore. Huh? My forehead crinkles with a look that is sure to send me in for the latest Botox injection, except then I remember I don’t believe in&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>My frank thoughts for this week&#8217;s column, &#8220;Machel&#8217;s Ranch.&#8221; Rancho Santa Fe News.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don’t have anything to write this week. It’s a first. I am sitting here staring at a blank page with nothing materializing. That’s rare when that happens. Usually, I’m brimming with ideas, stories that my heart seems it must reveal in my next column. This week? Nothing is coming to me, except just to be honest with my readers. I was thinking about a few things while I was relaxing on a two-week vacation. Some ideas that seemed rather important to share, or rather lessons I am still learning myself. I’ve been thinking that there are many signs in&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Jillian and Ed Split/The Bachelorette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just heard about this split today. The way I found out honestly is because last week my website received a lot of traffic and I kept trying to figure out what it could be since I don&#8217;t really write here that much for reality shows. Well, soon found out that Jillian and Ed broke up. I had written quite a bit on Jillian&#8217;s season of the Bachelorette&#8230;so I guess it&#8217;s still listed on Google. That&#8217;s not what&#8217;s important. What I wanted to say to others out there is, how sad I was to find out the news. I really&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>ABC&#8217;s True Beauty- Amy&#8217;s departure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After watching tonight&#8217;s Reality Show-True Beauty, I thought I would personally address the girl that was voted off tonight-Amy. Amy, just know that this was only a reality show. You do have inner beauty and some of the &#8216;pass/fail&#8217; set ups are ridiculous. I personally would have liked to see you stay, and the other guy go. You did an amazing job on the show, and you looked beautiful. The show is about true beauty and you have it. You looked gorgeou on camera, you passed many of the hidden camera tests, and ultimately, they have to let someone go.&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Jake/Vienna Split-ABC&#8217;s The Bachelor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I didn&#8217;t think I would cover any more reality TV., but last Monday night&#8217;s episode with the Jake/Vienna split was the funniest thing I&#8217;ve seen on television in years. I&#8217;m on team &#8216;Vienna&#8217; here. I thought Jake came off as this absolutely pompous jerk, with absolutely no sensitivity whatsoever. When he started to describe &#8220;It&#8217;s been quite a week&#8230;I&#8217;m on the cover of 5 magazines this week,&#8221; well we can just get the visual of Jake running to the supermarket as much as he can to see his big mug plastered everywhere. My favorite line from Jake was when&#8230;]]></description>
