I usually try to avoid watching the news (and have even been forbidden to watch it by people at times), because I end up thinking about it too much, and it makes me sad. Basically the news is just a big downer. But there's some crazy stuff going on these days, and I wanted to share it. Here are a few of the gems I've found:
1. This huge snake in Australia ATE a family's pet Chihuahua! And the kids were watching! But if you read the article, you'll see there are some sketchy elements to the story. First of all, the family says the snake had been "stalking" their dog, and they even saw the snake in the dog's bed a few days before the attack. Don't you think, if you saw a 16 foot python in your dog's bed, that you would do something about it? Also, when the emergency zoo guy came to help, he didn't want to remove the dog (which was only partially ingested at the time), because it could have harmed or killed the python. So? Doesn't the python deserve it, since he just traumatized 2 small children?
2. These two college students got kicked off of a Southwest Airlines flight, and immediately assumed they were being discriminated against for being "too pretty". Someone should point out to them that Heidi Klum flies all the time without getting kicked off. That's all I'm saying.
3. Cindy Crawford Eats Cupcakes, Looks Skinnier Than Ever. That is the actual title of the news article. Does this really count as news?
4. This one did kind of make me sad. This little 9 year-old girl in Australia (hopefully not the same one who watched her dog get eaten by a python) got banned from her local tennis club for grunting too loudly while playing tennis. Personally, I think they kicked her out because they're jealous that she's too pretty.
Don't worry, I'll keep you updated on anything else that happens in the next couple of days.

Instead of using them as pets, I believe chihuahua's would be more useful and less ugly as snake food.
I get into places because I am so pretty, not kicked out.
The news is depressing? I think the fact that you don't like Everybody Loves Raymond OR Little House on the Prairie is depressing!
So sorry that you've been so sick lately! P.S. I don't like Little House on the Prairie either.
Look, I can leave a comment now without the hastle of whatever it was I didn't want to bother with in order to leave comments before. I am not going to ask how, I am just going to thank heaven for this little gift.
I have to say, our friendship was on the rocks for a few days. Why you ask? Because I once wanted to BE Laura Ingalls. Not joking. Crappy cold house on the prairie? Oh yeah! SIGN ME UP. Sweet blind friend? ABSOLUTELY. Witchy girl at school that needs to be taught a lesson prairie style? I'M ALL ABOUT IT.
But, I've thought it over and decided that our love of all things celeb far outweighs this little discrepency. We're back on. Except you haven't visited me yet...
We are SO sad you've been under the weather lately. Does anyone really know why we say that? I mean, what does, "under the weather," really mean? We are happy to have been enlightened by the amazingly informative news you found. We are better people because if it. We laughed our A's off! Thank you! LOL We love you and miss our Lovely Lisa!
This is a nice blog you've got here. I'll be sure to stop by once in a while. Feel free to check mine out too. You may enjoy it. :)
Btw, I know how those girls feel on the Southwest flight. I got kicked off a flight once because I was too pretty. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. The bottle of vodka had no influence on their decision whatsoever. :)
