One of my very favorite quotes - I'm not even sure who wrote it or originated it - but I first saw it in a forgettable movie starring Jenny McCarthy called Dirty Love.

My eleven year old son named her - and little did he know how appropriate the name would be - not just because of her coloring, but because she has a bitter disposition at times, she's a very independent little "diva" if I should say so myself.Every now and then, she'll show her "so...
