MORNING UPDATE - APRIL 29

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! It's rainy again - but the sun will come out tomorrow! Baby Bro had guests over last night, which agitated our feline companions to no end - and now they are resting from all the excitement; George on my bed, and Sniff in the kitchen. The crazy upstairs is quite - but my dear rommie decided to pick up the mantel and was vacuuming cat hair from his knapsack. Also still wondering at who was it that gave our building manager a stern talking too - because today he looked positively dapper in a light lavender shirt that actually fits him. Alton Brown had a call or a visit, because he is talking about cranberries. Marc Summers, on the other hand, is talking about donuts - go figure. Also, wondering how Aarti is cooking with a huge bracelet on her right arm. A recent study conducted in England concluded that the holy Bible, Harry Potter, and 50 Shades are the most popular books in the British households - an interesting array, that. But as long as it's not Koran, the study yielded fantastic results. Trending at #5: Kate Hudson gets a surprise "star-studded" party for her 34th birthday - right here in NY, and I missed it! Heidi Fleiss is living quietly in Arizona, surrounded by parrots - gosh, if only Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton would follow her example! And yet another list: 9 health tips not to follow. The list suggests, among other things, that drinking coffee and alcohol is actually good for you, and that adults with BMI that qualified them as overweight lived longer than their skinnier counterparts - basically, eat, drink, be merry, and don't ever listen to anyone's advise, and you will live longer and happier life. Another advice - how to buy an engagement ring on a budget. Here is my take on it - just be a decent human being, and you can skip the ring altogether. "Kim Kardashian's Sex Tape Gets Reworked In Ray J's I Hit It First Music Video" - yuk and gross! "Selena Gomez is working on Sexy New Dance Moves - for Justin Bieber?" - another gross yukiness. By the way, they are yet to respond to my tweets. And, finally, happy second anniversary to Will and Kate! Coffee this morning in my San Fran latte mug.
