		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Rubber ducky, you&#8217;re the one.  You make sewing appliques lots of fun!  Rubber ducky I&#8217;m awfully fond of you.  Bo-bo-bo-di-o.&#8221; Yes, I was a child of the 80s, and yes, I grew up learning my letters and numbers with Big Bird and The Count on Sesame Street.  So, inevitably, when one works on one&#8217;s first applique project involving a cute rubber ducky shape, one inevitably hums Ernie&#8217;s bath song.  It&#8217;s just what one does.

		<description><![CDATA[With the high seas still on the brain after my cruise to the Bahamas last weekend, I think this day calls for some pirate humor.  Won&#8217;t you indulge me in my love of piratical puns? Why are pirates so loud? They just arrrrrgh! Or how about this one: Why does it take pirates so long to learn the alphabet? Because they spend years at C!

		<description><![CDATA[Three of my major fears in life include shark attack, shipwreck, and being out on open water, not knowing what lurks beneath the surface.  But if there&#8217;s anything I&#8217;ve learned in my 30 years on this planet, it&#8217;s that a life ruled by fear is no life at all.  And you can quote me on that. So, last weekend, I confronted my fears head on and boarded a cruise ship: Royal Caribbean&#8217;s Enchantment of the<a href="http://www.thinkingcloset.com/2013/05/22/how-to-survive-and-thrive-on-your-first-cruise/" rel="nofollow">  {read more...} </a>]]></description>
