MORNING UPDATE, February 10, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Shavua Tov! Happy Sunday! Happy Rosh Chodesh Adar! Ladies, please remember - VERY light housework and presents from your hubbies!! The weather is NY February...and there is a nice pile of snow outside my window. The miscreants from sanitation, probably fresh from the lawsuits from the last snow fiasco, are now making rounds every half an hour (even though there is nothing to clean anymore). George comes to snuggle every evening and every morning; Snuffles comes when he feels like it, walks over my hair, and goes to the cat house. 

Astrology.com "reveals what's in store for your career, wealth, relationships, and health" for the Year of the Snake - I think this belongs in "do not disturb the disturbed" file. Chris Brown is trending at #1 because he crashed his Porsche before the Grammys and blamed the paparazzi for it - the fact that this is trending at #1 has more shock value than a crashed Porsche. Yet another celeb hairdo is in the news (currently trending at #9) - Ethan Hawke has gone blond; personally, I never thought he was that hot looking, but now he just looks downright strange. Then there was a whole video of affordable valentine chocolates; the best suggestion? champagne truffles from Jacques Torres - affordable, my coccyx! Speaking of Valentines - White Castle offering to make reservations for that day is not a myth; saw it with my own eyes! Preggo celebs are keeping mum - disappointing. Also, there is a whole bunch of Grammy-related stuff, on which I can not offer an educated opinion, as I don't listen to their music, and not familiar with half of musicians and bands at all - sorry to disappoint, folks. 

Coffee this morning in my Aruba mug - with I was there now.

MORNING UPDATE, February 14, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather seem to be rocking for NY February. Well, today is Valentine's day, and I, frankly, never understood either the reverence of the hatred surrounding it. You want to feel loved and appreciated? Honestly, you don't need overpriced candy or lingerie for that - and there are other 364 days to express love. On the other hand, if you don't want to celebrate it, don't , for eff's sake! There is no need for so much virulence and hot air! Enjoy the sale on yummy chocolates and cute accessories the day after - I usually do ( providing I have time and/or money :)). And my erudite Jewish friends, please spare me the necessary lectures - as I have been known to crack a book or two, or even, in my salad days, attend a few classes. 

More Americans are leaving the country because of taxes - please don't let the door slam you on the way out! Also, do us all a favor, and get all the other ungrateful swine with you, beginning with liberals and Hussein supporters! Calcium can increase women's chance of a heart attack - well, here is a thought: how about we eat everything and just enjoy life? SI's swimsuit issue is upsetting some guys, because the spread looks to be, well, not really PC - oh, for crying out loud! Either enjoy those absolutely unnatural-looking models like a normal dude, or don't embarrass yourself and keep quite! In honor of today, there is also a list of celebs "looking for love" - spare me! Bieber is quiet once again, but Kate's pictures of her "baby bump" are "drawing ire" from the Palace - Bess, give those bastards a break! Believe me, that's not the worse they are capable of! There is also extreme silence from the Kardashian front - scary, that.

Coffee this morning in my big Pooh and Friends mug.
