Last year I painted my deceased grandmother as a gift for my grandmother's daughter, my mother. While I was painting, I kept thinking what a remarkable woman my grandmother was; remembering the old fashioned traditional values she imparted, by her example. I would guess that she was…

What's the worst pet name you've ever been called?

nospam@example.com () — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:46:45 -0800

Let's be honest with each other here. The cute wittle names we call and are called by our significant others--our private, Seinfeld-ian Shmoopies-- are often dorky, weird, and just really embarrassing. Though my husband and I have currently landed in a perfectly respectable "Baby" stage, I've definitely been a "Muffin," a "Love" (British boyfriend), a "Pumpkin," and once, much to my disliking, "My lil' Cow."*

The Daily Mail is reporting today that black, a color traditionally saved for funerals and looking street chic, is the new color choice for wedding dresses among modern brides.
