Stop Watching the News! Some people are news junkies and even though I like to know what is going on in the world, if I am having a bad day or I am in pain the last thing I want to do is turn on the news and hear about all the murders and people acting crazy. Not only do I get upset with these idiots, I feel really bad for the victims, and I start to worry about things.Tippi Hedren

The “Bitch” and the “Ditz” How the Year of the Woman reinforced the two most pernicious sexist stereotypes and actually set women back. By Amanda Fortini/NY Times Published Nov 16, 2008 In the past few weeks, Sarah Palin has been variously described as a diva who engaged in paperwork-throwing tantrums, a shopaholic who spent $150,000 on clothing, a seductress who provocatively welcomed staffers while wearing only a towel, and a “whack-job”—contemporary code for hysteric.

I have been VERY busy with my new job at PetCo. So far I am enjoying working there, they (at least my store) take immaculate care of the animals and everyone that I work with is really great!

Salma Hayek was on Oprah yesterday and she talked about her six-month-old baby, Valentina Paloma, and her long distance relationship with the father of her baby, Francois-Henri Pinault. On waiting to have a baby until she was 41 “It’s a little nerve-racking to wait that long, but it’s the best time to have it because you’ve done so many other things in your life.
