Thanks to Bec for bringing us this vital information.

You are Melanie Hamilton. A true lady. You are
generous, loyal, giving and can see only the

But that's OK, I look forward to silly presents. I mean whenever would you buy yourself something like a Chia Pet? I actually look forward to gag gifts such as these because they have a sense of humour.

For my parents, I was thinking of having a family potrait taken of the kids, the sibs, hubby and I to present as a Christmas present. My family is relocating to Peony's neck of the country, so who knows when the opportiuntiy will again arise for a family pic.. I emailed my brothers to request an appointment for us to get together to have our picture taken and asked them to "keep it on the DL". One of my brothers had no idea what "the D-L" is (warning, the first definition is not only graphically offensive, but is not as accurate as the second). That is when my other brother referred him to the Urban Dictionary.

So now you know, next time you speak to Peony and she mentions someones McJob or starts talking about how her last batch of snickerdoodles was off the chain you know where to go. She can revert to Urban Contemporary Lingo and has been known to say things such as "I love me some Swedish Meatballs" and "people think the Diocese of Arlington is all that and a bag of chips" at times and it can be quite confusing.
