~Ah, here's another word I adore. I can totally see so many of my female characters screaming at the top of their lungs, "I rue the day your were born, asshat!!" LOL, yes, in my head most of them end that sentence with a sweet, or not so sweet, little pet name for the hero. Not all of the them end up in their stories. ;)
Who knew though, that it was also a plant? Okay, maybe lots of you knew, but not I, so here's to learning something new...woot!~
