Meet Mr. Riff, Ms. Raff, and the Riff-Rafters
January 7, 2013 1:23pm, On board the Caribbean Princess, in the Caribbean somewhere Dude, I think we are lost. Not really. We just have not spotted land for a while.

Where I Am Meant to Be
Sometimes I wonder why my parents didn't invest in the stick market or have fancy jobs like some of the people I encounter on a daily basis. Sometimes, like this evening when we were sitting on the dock waiting for the water taxi to come get us, seeing the rich and famous hang out in …

Hemming Pants, No Thank You
I loathe hemming pants. I don't know if it is because I hate my sewing machine or because I just hatI.e to sew. I think it may be a combination of the two, honestly. I have been sewing my whole life so y would think that I would enjoy it, but I do not. It …
