But what really made the world rumble under my office chair today were these two stories in the news.
Leona Helmsley
$8 billion to the welfare of dogs? I'm a dog lover. I know many of you out there are too....but $8 BILLION?!?! I could almost say "yeah, okay" to $1 billion. There are a number of abandoned dogs out there, many due to so many natural disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes and other disasters that cause dogs to be left behind. Unfortunately it doesn't even have to be a natural disaster to cause their homelessness. They need to be taken care of, and if someone wants to leave so much of their estate behind to aid in the care of these lost animals and their friends in shelters, I applaud it. But I think this is a little over the top. wow. I'll be curious to see how this plays out.
Madonna and A-Rod
Why should it surprise me? But it does.....SIGH. I am really, really hoping it's just bad press and not true at all. And, well okay - if she's going to go ahead and do this, does it have to be with a Yankee? Then again, probably only a Yankee would do this - d'oh!
And since I am in a little bit of a snarky mood, I'll add one more - does there really need to be a press conference about Angelina giving birth to twins? I definitely wish them all the blessings, joys and health of newborn babies, but women are doing this every day, every hour, every minute all over the world. geesh. 
And lastly...um, what was Cat Dealy wearing tonite? Anyone?
