I read an article on CNN.com today about the 7 wonders of the world. Seems that the original 7 are no longer quite so wonderous, so the people of the world are to decide on what is worthy of being in this esteemed group of 7. Why haven't I heard about this before?! The original 7 includes: the Egyptian Pyramids, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Pharos lighthouse off of Alexandria, and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. I still think that they are wonders of the world, so why can't the list be left as is? Or if they really feel that it needs to be updated, then expand on the list. Or maybe its because all of these original 7 are located in one little area of the world and the western world feels left out. Maybe they should find one place in every country that is "absolutely wonderous" and that would be the new list. Better yet - why can't they just leave well enough alone?

In other news, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are all over the news and net now. What's up with that??? So what if they're getting married? Let them get it over & done with so that Entertainment Tonight can go back to being entertaining, and I can read People.com without having their faces plastered all over it. And if its not TomKat, its Britney & K-Fed. Its over, its about time, move on, get over it. Why is it that stars get all this attention over everyday stuff that happens to millions of other people all the time??? I guess when you have all that money you can buy the attention! Anyways, I wish both couples the best of luck on their marriage and their divorce, just get it over with so everyone else's lives can go back to normal.

Mmmmmmm, what else??? My friend Melissa posted today about a woman who left her baby in the car while she went shopping... what an idiot. Doesn't she know that anyone could have come along and taken that child?!?! Maybe that's what she wanted. Or if the weather was worse, the poor kid could have froze to death. People like that shouldn't be parents. They don't care. I just hope that the cop who was there calls Children's Aid and gets the kid into a caring and loving home. God knows that there's too many couples out there who want kids and would love to have a little one to love.

Ok, I'm done tonight. ER is on in 10 minutes, so I'm gonna get my jammies on and crawl into bed to watch it! Good night!

P.S. Going back to the 7 wonders, what about Niagara Falls and the Great Wall of China? I thought that those were considered to be wonders of the world??? What do you think should be on the list?
