Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Do Over

Can I get a do over for the week? It is just plain sad that I want to crawl back into bed until this week is over and it is only Tuesday. I went to the dentist to get a cap put on. It is a simple 15 minute procedure. When the cap fits. Mine didn't. So I was there for an hour and a half. The hygienist they had working on me must have never worked on a patient before ever. He had to fit me 3 times before it worked. I hate him. The corners of my mouth are chaffed and I have a cut on the back of my jaw. I hate him. Oh wait, it gets better. The TV above the chair was on. Regis and Kelly had The Wiggles on. For those of you not familiar, they are a musical group for children who tend to repeat the same four - six words for three minutes and call it a song. They did two of these catchy numbers. Then, as if that weren't bad enough, next up on the ABC lineup was an infomercial/telethon for Saint Jude's children's hospital. So I got to sit there, my mouth hurting, "hygienist" guy spilling Listerine on me, telling myself that I could have it worse, I could be one of the children I was watching dying on television. Man I am done with this week. Really, really looking forward to going down to Paul's dad's for the weekend.

    I bet you didn't know that The Wiggles earn more $$ than any other Australian "entertainer." more than Nicole and definitely more than Russell. Even more than AC/DC!!!

    "The Wiggles earned an estimated gross income of $45 million during 2004, up from $14 million for the previous year.

    The dramatic rise in riches coincides with their relatively recent success in the United States.

    And surprisingly, they knocked last year's richest Australian entertainer, Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, out of top spot.

    Kidman, who commands about $US19 million ($24.8 million) per film, almost doubled her earnings during 2004 and was Australia's second richest performer on $40 million.

    She was followed by another Hollywood heavyweight, actor Russell Crowe, who earned an estimated $27 million."
