Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! Happy Rosh Chodesh! Ladies, I know that as it's Erev Shabat, my reminders would fall on deaf ears, so, at least take advantage of Rosh Chodesh tomorrow smile emoticon
It's above freezing!!! Run for the sunblock! And, yes, I went to do laundry in my flippies. The only noise was related to Superbowl, and, later, just Latifa, so - thank Gd!
Both our felines suffer from severe OCD.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual.
Currently trending at #1 is Mila Kunis - because she is the "new face" of Kentucky bourbon. Earth-shattering, man, simply earth-shattering!
Trending at #2 is Tara Reid - because she signed up for Sharknado 2! Rejoice, ladies and gentlemen!
"Helen Mirren, 68, twerks while accepting award" - you keep it classy, Helen!
"Miley's advice to Bieber" - yea, here is the blind leading the lame.
Dennis Rodman claims he was drunk "when he made his comments about North Korea" - wow, that was some drink, Dennis!
And, finally, it looks like Kate is going to spend another Valentine's day solo - last year Will was deployed, and this year he will probably be at school.

MORNING UPDATE - January 30, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather is still very much in the range of catastrophic global warming - actually, not so catastrophic anymore, as Sniff is not hugging his fave pipe. He also keeps trying to explore the great big outdoors. George just complains periodically. Both of them tried to get into the pantry today - they know where the good stuff is.
Yesterday a costumer was impressed with my ability to haul a heavy cart - really wanted to tell her about having to lag about 10-15 kilos of food for 5 kilometers, walking on dirt road half the time; a part of my usual lecture on appreciating this country.
Speaking of which, it looks like some of my conservative friends overdid on newly legalized Mary Jane, as they are singing phrases to Putin, claiming him to be a great leader, and proclaiming that Russia is off our enemy list.
"Rob Ford defends Justin Bieber" - just can't stop laughing at that one.
"Revelations from Justin Bieber's DUI arrest report" - spare me!
"Top cars that attract the opposite sex" - seriously? "Men said attractive women drive sports cars" - that settles it. I am definitely not attractive as I hate sports cars. "Women most attracted to guys in trucks" - yea, that I can see; I mean anything but "environmentally friendly car".
Zinc supplements are trending at #10 - because they are supposed to be better at fighting cold than vitamin C. People, it's a freaking virus - you live through it!
"Miley-Madonna duet" - please, my eyes!
"Rep. Henry Waxman retiring after 40 years" - just let this sink for a minute.
And, finally, British Royal Family is down to their last million - ouch!

MORNING UPDATE - January 28, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The global warming is hitting us so badly, that yours truly IS COLD!!! I have been spotted wearing SOCKS! And TIGHTS!!! Also, like in the old Russian joke, Baby Bro and I are sharing a pair of snow boots. Or, rather, they are his boots, and he is generously sharing them with me.
Aruba Ministry of Tourism sent me a nice e-mail last week, informing me of all the interesting things that would be happening on their One Happy Island in the months of February and March - thank you, kind Sirs and Madams!
Cats are active this time, especially Sniffles. He keeps attempting to go to work with me - mice and nasty people, beware! He also keeps himself fit by running around like a crazed gazelle. George keeps showing his uncanny ability of knowing exactly when I get into bed - and immediately comes running, demanding to be petted.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual stuff.
Currently trending at #3 is Rosie O'Donnell - because she is "Returning to The View as Guest Seven Years After Bitter Exit" - please let it not be on my laundry day!
Trending at #8 is Kate Beckinsale - because she "Wows in Mini Dress at Grammys Afterparty". Feminists, rejoice!
An engineer in Michigan invented a device that checks if the diaper is wet - because a "traditional" method of checking his daughter's diapers was too "disgusting". OK, gentlemen, I know that men would use any excuse of getting out of diaper duty, but here is an easier way - you have to change a baby girl's diaper every 2 hours! So, if you want to tinker, invent a timer.
"Could Justin Bieber be deported?" - please, please, please!!!
Khloe Kardashian claims that she is leaving out of her car and can't find a place to stay - I guess she did not hear of something called "renting an apartment".
Someone unearthed a video clip of 11 year old Kate playing Eliza Doolittle in a school play - again, who has time for this kind of research?
Beyonce's dress designer "revealed" that she is size 2 - bootylicious, my coccyx!

MORNING UPDATE - January 24, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather still shows all the signs of extreme global warming - thankfully, not working today as well. Sniff started meditating while sitting on a radiator. George just likes to snuggle somewhere more familiar.
The crazy upstairs adopted the post office motto and is unwavering in her routine.
Currently trending at #2 is Khloe Kardashian - because "Kim Kardashian Reveals Khloe Never Wanted a Baby With Lamar Odom". OK, next time one of you air-headed moronetts complains about the lack of privacy - well, you hopefully would know whom to blame.
Trending at #5 is Ellen Pompeo - because she signed up for another two years with Grey's Anatomy. Heck, not only is this stuff still running, it will continue to run?
Beyonce and Jay-Z both have Roman number IV tattooed on their ring fingers because four has a very special meaning for them - why Roman numerals? I thought they did not believe in white culture.
Tori Spelling's husband went into rehab to deal "with personal issues" - what kind of idiotic times do we live in? Dude cheats on his wife and goes into rehab? What happened to the iron skillet over the head first?
"Justin Bieber exits jail" - damn, already?
And, finally, "Kate Middleton Angers a Drunk Camilla Parker-Bowles" - I guess some members of the royal family do take tips on behavior from our Hollywood elite.
Coffee this morning in my personalized mug from WB Times Square Store - really, really miss that place.

MORNING UPDATE - January 23, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! There is an overwhelming evidence of global warming outside my window - thank Gd today is my day off. Cats are not extra sleepy though, and Sniff definitely enjoys my once-again-working radiator. George sticks to his huge Amazon box.
MTA is, as always, MTA, and is using the latest demonstration of global warming as an excuse for extra sucky service.
Currently trending at #1 is Melissa Gilbert - because she "exited New York" and "opted for 'Little House on the Prairie' life". Enjoy, Melissa!
Trending at #8 is Jennifer Hudson. It looks like she got a Pixie Cut and now claims that she needs "whole new wardrobe" because of it. How, um, earth-shattering.
Another news in hairdos - someone named Emma Roberts "debuts a sleek bob". What will we do without knowing it?!!
"Consider this before adjusting your thermostat: suffering through lower temperatures for even a few hours a day offers a real health benefits, a study finds" - I am sure there is a special place in hell for the environmentalists whose policies push our energy costs through the roof; and so-called scientists who support and encourage it belong there as well.
"Facebook's oldest user turns 106" - happy birthday!!
"Snowy owl appears in DC" - a warning from the local wizarding community that they are watching the Voldemort reincarnation in the White House? How about doing something about it already?!!
"8 tips to avoid getting audited by IRS" - there is only one really good tip: do not appose the tyrant in DC and his attempts to destroy our country.
Bieber was arrested for DIU. He was driving with a woman who was not Selena Gomez, and was later given a special red jumpsuit in prison - OK, our great neighbors from the North! Could you please, please, please claim your national treasure already?
And, finally, according to some highly intellectual publication, it has been over a 1000 days since Kate became a duchess. Who the heck has time for those complicated calculations?!!
Coffee this morning in my San Fran latte mug - rotten political climate, great weather!

MORNING UPDATE - January 22, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather outside reminds me of my childhood in step-mama city, only I don't feel like ice skating - ravages of being middle aged, what can I tell.
Feline companions are snoozing in their respective corners. Sniff keeps trying to escape and explore the great big freezing outdoors. On Sunday he wanted to go to work with me.
The crazy upstairs continues with her usual routine.
Currently trending at #1 is Wendy Williams - because she cried on her show, claiming that her son does not like her anymore. Jewish and Italian mothers, take notes!
There is a list of 5 jobs that people regret taking - politician is not on it, of course; but than, politician is not a real occupation.
"Why Lindsay Lohan keeps getting acting roles" - who gives a flying banana?
"How to apply false lashes" - why would I want to do that?!!
Katy Perry believes in aliens. She claims that she has a theory about extraterrestrials, and she would like to ask President Obama about it - how about first asking him why he scrapped the planned mission to the Moon, and then sending both of them into outer space to explore any bloody theory they want.
And, finally, "Donatella Versace Hails Kate Middleton as the Queen of Couture" - thanks, Donatella, for not giving this dubious honor to our dear and pathetic excuse of a First Lady, whose "birthday bash" is still being discussed.
Coffee this morning in my funky glass Cappuccino mug.

MORNING UPDATE - January 17, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is beautiful - at least for today. Sniff is sleeping on Baby Bro's chair and occasionally opening his eyes in order to send dirty looks our way. George is sleeping on my bed and occasionally waking up to whine.
Crazy upstairs is producing different noise for a change.
2 big articles: one about "decent wines for under $5" and another one on how to open a whine bottle without a corkscrew - OK, how bad is the economy if we have to discuss dirt cheap wines and can't even afford corkscrews?!!
Meryl Streep is planning to star in a new movie that supposedly will make NRA "wish they weren't alive" - this is just another illustration to everyone who was wondering why Streep is on my long list of Hollywood celebs whose "art" I boycott.
"5 big problems retails face in 2014" - hum, let's see: Hussein's continuing efforts to destroy our economy is the only one that comes to mind.
"Michelle Obama turns 50: Her life in photos" - aw, sweet. I assume all her racist and America-hating papers and speeches are not included.
"Justin Bieber's iPhone seized in egging probe" - wow, the story is getting bigger and bigger, and the hits just keep on coming.

MORNING UPDATE - January 16, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! Happy Tu B'Shevat! The weather is OK - thankfully, still above freezing with no horrendous winds. As always, Sniff was the only one greeting me last night - as the other two occupants of the place were sleeping. Of course, George knows that precise moment of me trying to become one with the bed, and always comes asking to be petted. Right now Sniff is trying to figure out the secrets of the olive oil container.
Yesterday a woman came to my station demanding to help her locate a book - "it's not a children's book, but I need you to help me find it". After I told her that it's a self-help book, and she should go to the 3rd floor, she asked me how to get there. Considering that she just got off the up escalator, and the elevators were within view, I think this woman was beyond self-help, or any kind of help; and I am also sure that she is a registered Democrat.
The new details about Benghazi are out, but they are not anywhere close to the top ten trending now.
Trending at #1 is Acetaminophen - due to another warning from the FDA. Thank you, dear FDA, for thinking about me, but I prefer Ibuprofen.
Trending at #4 is Prince Harry - who was "spotted" on a "low key date" with Cressida Bonas, "putting the rumors about they split to rest". Fascinating, what can I say; at least they were both dressed.
Trending at #8 is Jennifer Lopez - because she is "unsure" if she will ever get married again. Why is this of interest to anyone not connected to bridal mags is beyond me.
"10 must-haves for a luxurious kitchen" - first give me a luxurious kitchen, then I'll decide myself what the must-haves would be there; and, no, eco-friendly flooring would not be one of them.
In the past 3 years, FB became "uncool" among teenagers - could have fooled me.
"The tax form many people are afraid to get" - only one tax form?!!
"Justin Bieber's security video key to cracking egg caper" - gee, you don't say!
And, finally, Kate got a birthday celebration she wanted - she had a "quite" dinner at home with her family.

MORNING UPDATE - January 15, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather is OK so far. Cats are awake. George surprisingly did not hunt Baby Bro's cereal. Sniff relocated to the big closet - from which he sleepily fell out yesterday in order to great me.
Crazy upstairs is at her post.
Currently trending at #1 is someone named Jennifer Nettles - who released some kind of debut album and also stripped for it. Feminists are silent for a change.
"Lopez looks better than ever in leather, lace" - a proud achievement indeed.
Michelle Obama was talking about possibility of botox and plastic surgery in her future - will we have to pay for it as well as her birthday present from dear Barack?
The search of Bieber's home is trending at #7 - with a whole discussion of whatever or not the search was justified.
Coffee this morning in my Coffee Bean/Tea Leaf mug - would not mind being in LA today; of course, Aruba would be better.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The weather is on the blah-y side, but at least it is still above freezing. Cats are enjoying the warm spell by being extra frisky - in George's case it shows in being more whiny, and in Sniff's case - more crazy running. He (Sniff) also decided to hunt some barbarians this morning, and for the past couple of days his head is mysteriously smelling of perfume.
Yesterday a costumer had difficulties figuring out how much would a $30 book cost at 50% off. Even after I told her, she asked me to scan it; after I scanned it for her, she bemoaned the fact of us not having self-scanners like in Macy's that would tell exactly how much the item would cost - and these people are allowed to vote!
Currently trending at #1 is Tori Spelling - because she "escaped to Disneyland with kids" while the scandal about her cheating hubby "rages on". Well, Disney really is a magical place that usually lets you forget all your worries - provided, of course, that you have money to afford the magic.
A new youtube sensation explains why a dude was waking up late - it's because his doggy was pushing the snooze button! Sometimes I wish Sniff would chew up my alarm's cord - kitty, did you hear that?
"The new secret to financial security" - elect the government that does not tax you to death.
"The truth about about common nutrition myths" - among them the fact that organic produce "does not pack more nutrients", it's just "better for the environment". Jeepers, I could have told you that a while ago! Fork over some research grants my way!
"The new hot Corvette debuts" - I guess I would have to be a guy in order to understand how a car (any car) could be "hot".
Another breakthrough study - fist bump is a much less germy greeting than a handshake! Who ordered this study - Adrian Monk?!!
"Rare early J. Lo footage" - spare me!
2 pilots from Southwest airline are grounded after landing a plane in the wrong airport - now, that's an achievement!
"Kobe's pricey haircut" - how much does it cost to be bald?!!!
Pope's Harley is for sale - I think a picture of him on Harley in his leather jacket would fetch more money.
Bieber's house was raided by cops over the "egg-throwing incident" - no comment.
And, finally, Kate and Will are searching for a new nanny for Georgie as the current one's contract is almost up - renewing the contract is not in the cards?

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's above freezing - yay!!! The signs of extreme cold: Niagara falls froze, and I had to wash 4!! pairs of my socks and 3!! pairs of long pants for Baby Bro.
All three TVs were on, but only channel 7 had sound, so had to listen to the effin View. It looks like someone told Jenny McCarthy that she is going to look smarter and classier with glasses on - major fail.
Cats are still extra sleepy. George is in his huge Amazon box, and Sniff travels between his pipe, the big closet, and the newly discovered heat source in my radiator.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual.
Currently trending at #1 is Jessica Biel - because she missed the People's Choice Awards. As her hubby got an award, and she missed it - again - that definitely qualifies as top rate headline.
Khloe and Lamar's "love nest" is on the market - that did not take long.
George Clooney is auctioning off a date with him - thanks, but no thanks.
Cameron Diaz claims that "she is done with Botox" - yea, right.
According the latest allegations, Bieber egged his neighbor's home - what else is new.
And, finally, Kate turned 32 - and Will "was caught racing home" to make it for her birthday. Aw...
Coffee this morning in a paper cup from the overpriced bagel store next to the laundromat.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It's supposed to climb up to 35 degrees today! Please don't forget your sunblock!!! As a matter of fact, it was so warm in Kentucky that a dude turned himself in shortly after escaping from prison!!! But both ships finally broke free of ice and "are no longer requiring assistance" - yay, hurray!
Cats are not that cold this morning as evidenced by their more active demands for food. Of course, only George whines - Sniff just sits and looks at you.
The crazy upstairs is non-frozen and undeterred in performance of her daily ritual.
Yesterday a colorful-looking costumer wanted to interrupt my phone conversation with another costumer in order to find out where the religious books in Spanish are located - no comment.
Currently trending at #1 is someone named Chloe Gosselin - turns out that's some kind of French supermodel who is engaged to David Copperfield.
Trending at #4 is Velveeta shortage! What the hell?!!! Turkeys, hot sauce, and now cheese? That alone earns comrade Hussein the right to be tarred and feathered and drummed out of DC!
Snooki is shocked to find out that, according to DNA testing, she is not really Italian - I am sure the Italians breathed a collective sign of relieve.
"The best diets for 2014" - oh, for pete's sake! Eat, drink, be merry, and enjoy life - that's the best diet!
Spirit Airlines is using legalized pot to advertise their flights to Denver - very enterprising! Hum, extra ticket for an honorable mention?
Jelena is back and "hotter than ever" - whatever.
Coffee this morning in my Coffee Bean/Tea Leaf mug.
Cats are not that cold this morning as evidenced by their more active demands for food. Of course, only George whines - Sniff just sits and looks at you.
The crazy upstairs is non-frozen and undeterred in performance of her daily ritual.
Yesterday a colorful-looking costumer wanted to interrupt my phone conversation with another costumer in order to find out where the religious books in Spanish are located - no comment.
Currently trending at #1 is someone named Chloe Gosselin - turns out that's some kind of French supermodel who is engaged to David Copperfield.

MORNING UPDATE - January 7, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! It's bloody cold outside!!! The ship is still stuck, and another ship that was sent to assist got stuck as well - the irony continues. Meanwhile, it got so cold here that we had to actually open the radiator in my room - it was blissfully out of commission for the past four years! Sniff diligently investigated the new source of heat and decided that his fave pipe is way better. As of now he is entwined with it, probably hoping to become one with the pipe. George is cuddling in his box and did not even come out to consume his fresh breakfast.
Yesterday a costumer (who, of course, turned out to be a librarian) tried to talk down to me till she realized that I knew more than her about where and how to get inexpensive books; then she had to backpedal with something like "we both love books".
Currently trending at #1 - drum roll please - is Kim Kardashian. But this time it's pretty boring - she claimed that North was the best thing she did in 2013, and she also revealed Kanye's tune that she constantly plays - the woman has no taste in anything.
Trending at #3 is the design for a statue of Satan - somewhere in Oklahoma, no less! I guess it's still better than erecting the statue of comrade Barack Hussein.
The pot sales in Colorado are doing so well that soon they may run out of product - duh!!!
Alexa Vega got married over the weekend - man, she is that old already?!
Rodman was "ranting" and defending his trip to North Korea - dude, don't rant. If you think your little friend Kim, for whom you expressed love, is such a great dude, just stay in North Korea and continue your training programs there.
Activities that make your heart race (like hiking or watching a scary movies) are supposed to be a great idea for a first date - how about just not behaving like a swine for about an hour? That alone would make my heart racing.
A new study showed that Superbowl commercials are a wast of money - yea, because that's the time for bathroom breaks and nacho platter refills; unless, of course, someone has a "wardrobe malfunction".

MORNING UPDATE - January 3, 2014
Good Morning, peep! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's nice, snowy, and cold outside - needless to say, the ship is still stuck. As for me - I used to love this weather, but now I would give a lot to be in Aruba right now - I guess it is one of the many signs of old age.
George is nice and almost quite; most of recent time was dedicated to sleeping in a freshly-vacated papasan. Sniff was hugging his fave pipe for a while - Baby Bro and I trying to figure out if he is just meditating there, or maybe quoting love poems. But now he is awake, bright eyed, and bushytailed - literally.
Crazy upstairs is also awake. Altogether, the local Slavs, after finishing their New Year celebrations (alas, without dancing or singing), are behaving like nothing is happening - just saw one dude jogging past my window.
Got American Girl catalog yesterday - good luck to whoever else got it!
Currently trending at #1 is Wendy Williams - as she "announces sexy new romance novel". Oy, gevalt! Why does everyone suddenly thinks that they are writers?
Trending at #2 is Rumer Willis - because she reconciled with her boyfriend and her mother. That's shattering news?
Trending at #7 is Ludacris - because he bought a new home, and also cheated on his fiancee; I guess Ludacris was a busy boy lately.
And rounding up top ten is a North Carolina politician, who wrote a resignation letter in Klingon - enterprising.
Gomez was spotted with Bieber again - this is getting old and tired already.
There is a new gourmet restaurant opened in Berlin recently - for cats and dogs. Humm, do I want to go there in order to treat my feline companions?
And, finally, Kate was named 2013's top beauty icon - well, at least this one has class.

MORNING UPDATE - January 1, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! Getting colder and colder - and the ship is still stuck. Cats do not appreciate this weather - even George did not complain much, did not even eat, just went to sleep on my bed (as his papasan is still occupied). Sniff was meditating in front of the cat house for a while and finally decided to jump on top and go to sleep as well.
My Slavic neighbours were a complete disappointment this year - no singing or dancing! I guess their blood got thin and they did not like the cold also. On the bright side, the crazy upstairs is also quite after New Year's celebrations.
Currently trending at #1 is Carmen Electra - because she is one of the starts that loves yoga. Why is it on top? Because of New Year's resolutions?
Trending at #3 is Horoscope 2014 - your year will be filled with rainbow unicorns, and the love of your life will appear when Mars and Saturn will both be in zenith. Also watch out for the movements of Venus around February 15th - and don't miss the chocolate sales.
Kaley Cuoco is at #7 - because she got hitched on New Year's Eve. Mazal Tov!
The doctor who delivered Georgie was knighted by The Queen - I wonder if she knighted him with a sword or a scalpel.
"Miley Cyrus covers up for NYE in Times Square" - if was effin cold, dodo birds!
Pope made his usual speech, asking for peace in 2014 - well, Vatican is not where the main deterrents for world peace usually assemble.
"Colorado braces for retail marijuana" - why "braces"? Because the rest of the country is going to run there pronto to get some?

MORNING UPDATE - December 31
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! It's getting progressively cold - and the ship is till stuck in the ice.
Sniff decided that the suitcase is not that much fun and is now splitting his time between the pipe and the cat house. George, on the other hand, leaves the suitcase only to demand food.
Still waiting for my updated list from the GoodReads.
Men's Health has a whole instruction in five pictures on how to properly wash hands - because it looks like half the guys out there do not use soap. Gross, but not surprising.
Currently trending at #1 is Paleo diet - which supposedly dominated in 2013, and is "the healthiest diet" as it "mimics the diet of our cavemen ancestors." Gee, that sorta sounds familiar....BECAUSE Atkins claimed the same thing!
Trending at #3 is Catherine Zeta-Jones - because it looks like she is reunited with her hubby. Why?
Will heads back to school next year - he will be studying agriculture for 10 weeks; you can also find out how you can get a seat next to him in class.
"10 things you don't need to buy in 2014" - Obamacare not included.
Some people are trying to include cat food on their tax deduction - interesting move.
You can also purchase the bubble heads of the Supreme Court justices - well, as most of them are bubble heads in real life, I don't see the point of wasting money.

MORNING UPDATES - December 30
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! Shavua Tov! Wishing all of you a fantastic week! The weather is declining steadily - but nothing compares to the ship that got stuck on ice while studying the effects of the global warming.
Both cats are sleeping on the guest's suitcase, although Sniff sometimes alternates with his favorite pipe.
Last night I added another finished book to my GoodReads list, so now I am up to a whopping eight books I have read in 2013.
Currently trending at #1 is someone called Kandi Burruss - because she posted a "sexy pic" of herself. Again, why the heck is this number 1? Everyone and their dogs post half naked, excuse me, sexy pictures of themselves.
Trending at #2 is Kate Gosselin - because she was, once again, "blasted by her ex". Which one is it, like number 189, that Jon Gosselin is "blasting" his ex in the media?
Jennifer Aniston is once again going to spend a New Year's in a bikini with the current love of her life - enjoy yourself, Jen.
"Bieber concert film bombs" - one speculation is that parents kept "their kids away" from it. Late awakening?
You can own the "World's largest home TV" for a mere 150,00 USDs - the low quality and stupidity of TV programming will remain the same, but you would be able to enjoy it on the huge high resolution screen.
And, finally, according to yahoo, the 3 most searched stories of 2013 were: Kate and Will's baby, Kim and Kanye's baby, and, drum roll please, Myley Cyrus's infamous VMA performance topped everything else. (Bieber got into the top 40 at least 6 times). What sad times we do live in.

MORNING UPDATE - December 27
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is improving - at least for the next 2 or 3 days. Sniff is alternating between the cat house and his pipe in the bathroom. George is extremely annoyed about somebody moving his papasan and somebody else sleeping in it; his noise level increased tremendously in the morning.
At least 2 employees violated the microwave rules at work and warmed up fish in the microwave that has "no fish" sign on it.
According to Men's Health, 23% of men admitted to scarfing colleague's food from the work fridge - they obviously did not poll people at OU, where the number is something like 97%, and even our black security guard lost his ham sandwich a time or two.
Currently trending at #1 is Red Lobster closing - which fact at the present is not clear.
Trending at #2 is Tori Spelling - because she ignores the rumors about her husband's cheating; good luck to their kids. Incidentally, her husband is trending at #10.
"Was Andrew Johnson the worst U.S. president?" - hell, no. The worst president is now occupying the White House.
Game of Thrones was top pirated TV show - there is no accounting for tastes.
"NORAD releases Santa-tracking numbers" - 20 million people were tracking St. Nick!
Nikki Haley "bragged" on social media about Beretta PX4 Storm that she got from her hubby for christmas - I don't know which one of them rocks more.
And, finally, Us Magazine is offering all the details on Will and Kate's Boxing Day with Georgie.
Coffee this morning in my clear funky glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE - December 26
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather is a bit strange, meaning it's very normal for December in our fair city.
Baby Bro gave the crazy upstairs a run for her money, which resulted in both cats hiding in my room. George simply run under the papasan and was observing from there; Sniff, on the other hand, climbed in the cat house and gave everyone the usual dirty looks. Good for your, kitty - don't show your fear!
Goodreads recently congratulated me on reading a whopping seven books in 2013!!!
According to Men's Health, 49% of guys pretended to be napping in order to avoid household chores - really?!! I would say the number is closer to something like 89%.
Currently trending at #1 is someone called Kellie Pickler - no idea who she is, but as she is trending because she "serenaded the troops in Afghanistan", good for her!
Just as an fyi, I stand with Phil is trending at #3 and Duck Dynasty is at #4.
Turks and Caicos are trending at #9 - just looking through my window begs a question as to why not #1?
JWoww is pregnant and looking forward to a lot of play dates with Aunt Snooki - poor kids.
And Hollywood Life is inviting you to peruse two stylish coast that Kate wore over the holiday - one of them being another "recycle".

MORNING UPDATE - December 25
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It's bloody cold outside, so I am very happy about my day off, hence the ability to stay inside the whole day smile emoticon
Sniff is back to hugging his trusty bathroom pipe, and George is back in his huge Amazon box (minus the trophy mouse). Both of them are also diligently "working" on the new couch.
The crazy upstairs is busy again.
Matt Damon is gracing the cover of the latest issue of Men's Health, so I assume that he still did not chow down on his moccasins.
Currently trending at #1 is Woody Harrelson - because he claims that his company invented a kind of paper that saves trees. As long as is he not issued a government grant for that, or the government does not force anyone to buy this latest wonder, Woody is free to amuse himself as much as he wants.
Trending at #2 is Denzel Washington - because the rumors are flying of him playing Lex Luthor in the Batman vs. Superman movie. Political correctness continues to amuse.
Trending at #8 is Avril Lavigne - because she got a "makeunder" by Allure, and you can now see her "without her signature eye makeup". Gosh, I can't wait to see that!
Speaking of which, Rockettes were also willing to share their make up tips - run to get them before they change their minds!
"Moment that made Justin Bieber break down" - only one moment? Against all the headaches he has been giving for the past few years?
"Which Stars Made Santa's Naughty and Nice Lists" - wow! I did not know that celebrity reporters are in direct contact with St. Nick!
And, finally, Us Magazine can tell you all the details about Georgie's first Christmas.
Coffee this morning in my personalized WB store NY mug - with Godivas I got from my secret Santa at work.

MORNING UPDATE - December 24
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! It's cold again, darn it!!! George demanded extra petting yesterday; this morning he just quietly ate and went back to sleep. Sniff is just sleeping - without breakfast.
The crazy upstairs is back.
A few days ago Baby Bro was debating as to which stamp to affix on the letter to the court clerks. His choices included either Disney or flowers, so he settled on the Bug's Life one.
Currently trending at #1 is Keira Knightley - because she "can't stop wearing all-in-ones with clumpy brown boots." Breaking news, what can I say. But she can wear all she wants as long as she does not play another Austen heroine again.
Trending at #2 is Kristen Stewart - because it looks like she and R-Patz are planning to spend the New Year together on the Isle of Wight. I was never there personally, but was told that's it's a romantic and picturesque spot.
Winter coats are trending at #8 - why not #1? Definitely more important than Keira.
According to the people in the know, there are 5 things about you on which strangers make instant judgments, and your footwear is #1. Well, you would be wrong about me, but have fun making assumptions.
"Sheen bashes Robertson" - that just makes me laugh.
"5 offbeat New Year's suggestions for singles" - I will be sleeping with one or both of my cats, thank you very much.
Selena claimed that "she needs time for herself" - please, take all the time you want! We are not complaining.
"Costliest mistakes you can make with your taxes" - the costliest being an enemy of the current regime.
"Interview: Jon M. Chu's Insights Into The World Of Justin Bieber" - sometimes I really feel bad for our youth.
And, finally, breaking: Kate is pregnant again! This time she and Will are hoping for a little girl. Let the second round of the circus begin!

MORNING UPDATE - December 23
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! It's raining, darn it! Cats look sleepy all the time. Sniff lost his interest in the hallway for a little while.
All quite on the crazy front.
Currently trending at #1 is Porsha Stewart - because she "may be getting axed from the Real Housewives of Atlanta". A profound loss to humanity, what can I say.
Trending at #7 is Dennis Rodman - because he left North Korea without meeting their glorious leader. I assume the tour of their forced labor camps was not on the agenda as well.
Trending at #4 is Mila Kunis - who was spending some quality time with Ashton, and they both seem to "be all right"; I guess till he cheats on her.
Cholesterol is trending at #5 - oh, get lost already! Let people enjoy their holiday food in peace!
"Top New Year Eve's spots" - the very top spot being my bed (no pun intended).
Justin Bieber's journals are being released today - wow! Really?!!
Julia Roberts claimed that she is happy with the spotlight being on the Kardashians because this way it's not focused on her - why so modest, Julia?
And, finally, Kate was praised for "rocking the redo looks" - meaning, her recycled outfits look just as good on her the second time as they do the first. Michelle Obama, on the other hand, does not "rock" her outfits even the first time around.

NUMBER 500
OK, this is post number 500 on this blog - yay, me. As it is my custom, I would like to dedicate this entry to something - or someone - special. And this time I am dedicating it to Beloved Nephew.
He was a bit of a cranky baby, and, most memorably, hated riding in the car. He developed an instant bond with his big sister - and his extra crib sheet was pink. His smile from the very beginning was full of mischief - and sweetness.
He loves to help with cooking, baking, and cleaning. He loves cats and dogs. He is a great younger brother - and a fantastic older one. He loves all his sisters, takes care of them, babysits them, and makes sure that they get as many treats and presents as he does. He admires the members of the IDF - and likes to dress like one on Purim. He always makes sure to call his grandma, grandpa, and his cool aunt every Friday to wish them Shabat Shalom.
He is the best son, grandson, or nephew anyone can wish for. He is a fantastic boy! We love you, SiM! May The Heavenly Father bless you, watch over you always, and help you grow into a fantastic man!
He was a bit of a cranky baby, and, most memorably, hated riding in the car. He developed an instant bond with his big sister - and his extra crib sheet was pink. His smile from the very beginning was full of mischief - and sweetness.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 20
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's warming up!! Flip flops were worn, of course. Sniff is in a very friendly mood, and even allowed some snuggle time. George got a chance to explore the inside of my dresser, and is now snoozing on my bed.
The crazy upstairs already performed her routine.
A woman came into the store looking for a book on the war of 1812 that's "on the child's level"; as she herself had no idea that America actually fought some kind of a was in 1812, I offered her a book on American history "on the child's level".
Currently trending at #1 is Bristol Palin - because of her support for Phil Robertson. Crucify both of them!
Trending at #2 is Katie Couric - because her talk show was cancelled. I guess once she had to do something slightly different from constant attacks on the right wingers and spreading malicious lies about them, it sorta did not work out.
Trending at #4 is Harry Potter - as it is becoming a stage play. Have mixed feelings about that one.
Trending at #8 is Kate Upton, who "sizzles in bikini" for her new movie trailer. Feminists, where are you on this one?
Somebody had a bright idea of inserting our celebrities into the classic works of art - the result confirmed my earlier assertions that most of modern entertainers are butt ugly.
"A foodie pilot for Pakistan International Airlines" delayed an international flight for more than 2 hours because he refused to take off without sandwiches on board - parents of picky eaters, rejoice! You have it pretty easy after all.
"Anxiety linked to higher risk of a stroke" - duh!
New York Daily News actually compiled the list of Justin Bieber's top worst moments of 2013 - I guess doing it to Obama is a bit risky.
Coffee this morning in my Get a Grip mug.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 18
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It's nice and cold outside, which, according to Al Gore & Co., is because the Arctic ice is melting at an alarming rate and simultaneously cooling the Golf Stream.
George decided to quietly haunt me this morning and only started his loud meows when he realized that the chicken was on its way. Sniff escaped last night in order to explore our very sophisticated hallway.
Yesterday had "an educator" as a costumer - woman could not follow simple directions and was rude and obnoxious in the bargain; I wonder if she is a graduate of the The Teacher's College.
Currently trending at #1 is Pippa Middleton - because she is, reportedly, engaged! Mazal Tov! The world is waiting with baited breath for the discussions of the ring, the wedding venue, fashions, menu, etc, etc, etc.
Trending at #2 is Christina Aguilera - who, by performing with Lady Gaga, "put feud rumors to rest". The only thing that comes to mind is "freak show".
Brad Pitt is turning 50; he claims that "the one downfall of aging is 'your face kind of goes'"- well, duh!
Stars like Madonna, LeBron, Kim K., Gaga, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kanye, and Rihanna are supposedly displaying Illuminati symbols - how low did the Illuminati fall if they accepted those uneducated morons as their members?!!!
Kerry "tours typhoon-ravaged" Philippines - poor people can't get a break!
Justin Bieber claimed that he is "retiring" - yea, I'll believe it when I see it.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 17
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! It's snowing again! Global warming, my aching coccyx! Feline companions are, of course, snoozing away - George in the papasan, and Sniff in the cat house. For reasons unknown, they prefer to sleep in my room, even though it's the coldest spot in the place.
Poor cats were deprived of their latest object of desire and affection, otherwise known as the latest huge Amazon box - it was finally emptied and recycled, and they don't even get to fight over an empty box.
The kid who hates her daycare was heard again today; ditto for the crazy upstairs, who resumed with extra vigor. The crazy outside, however, was not heard since Sunday - yippee?
Yesterday was both Beethoven's and Austen's birthdays - hurray for the dead white males and females and their beautiful and sublime art! Also, Julia Quinn pointed out that all women want Mr. Darcy, but men have no idea who that is. Gentlemen - got at least 2 copies of Pride and Prejudice you could borrow... oh, heck, what I am saying?!!
According to Men's Health, 58% of men "'forgotten' to pick up after their pooch" - and I bet you that at least half of them lives right here, in NY!
Currently trending at #1 is Denise Richards - because, according to her ex, Charlie Sheen, she is a "holiday humbug". OK, dude, you messed up, and your wife left you - way to be a classy gentleman in return.
"2 common light bulbs will be banned on January 1" - oh, what an enlightened times we live in!
Our dear government spent about 1 million USDs studying - ready for this?- romance in popular culture! On the bright side - that's one million that did not go to illegals or muslim terrorists.
Dennis Rodman is planning another visit to North Korea - can he stay there already?
Walmart is selling Occupy posters - good for Walmart!
And, finally, you can read about Kate and Will's new bulletproof Bentley - interesting, considering that England is one big "gun free" zone.
Coffee this morning in my huge Pooh mug.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 12
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather remains cold - still no flippies. Felines, however, adjusted a bit to the cold and are much more active. Sniff did his tail-puffing routine, and George did his treat-demanding routine.
The crazy upstairs is strangely quite; however, the new crazy did her screaming and cursing outside.
Both FB and Linkedin keep offering me to get connected to a bunch of people that I am desperately trying to avoid in real life; why would I want to connect with them in cyberspace?
Currently trending at #1 is Jenny McCarthy - because, according to someone named Julie Chen, Jenny "is not good for the View". Really?! I think she fits perfectly there, together with all the other uneducated and uninformed harpies. What really gets me going is seeing her books in Family and Childcare section - because I am old enough to remember her other book, with completely different cover, which would not be appropriate anywhere near children.
Trending at #10 are cashmere sweaters - very, very important subject, boys and girls, what can I say.
Kim Kardashian claims that she has "mixed feelings" about her latest bikini cover shot because she is so "critical" of herself - lady, please. You look even less smart once your mouth opens.
"Oprah and 'The Butler' got snubbed by the Globes" - by heart bleeds borsch.
Sriracha shortage continues - this is beginning to remind me of my childhood.
"Seattle police uncover stolen wine stash" - 2,500 bottles worth more than $650,000 were recovered. Who was robbed to begin with - Frasier Crane?
Kevin Federline is expecting his 6th child - where are social services when you need them?
"Justin Bieber May Face Interpol Arrest" - OK, let's not get overly dramatic here.
And, finally, Kate "recycled" yet another dress - listen, even Princesses have to stick to some kind of a budget (unlike, of course, our embarrassment of the First Lady).
Coffee this morning in my Disney Mini Bean Bag Plush mug with Mickey and Friends.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 11
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It's windy and freezing outside - flip flops are staying home.
George perfected the art of begging for treats - he meowes piteously for a while, runs into the kitchen, climbs on the window sill, and stares at the pantry where the treats are stored; basically, the hint is very clear. Sniff, on the other hand, keeps perfecting his look of utter boredom and disdain.
The elevator is being repaired (again) with all the appropriate noises - thank Gd for the first floor apartment.
The cold is not scaring my Slavic neighbors - there are continued yells and curses outside.
Currently trending at #2 is Ian Ziering - because of his claim to making the Sharknado in order to keep health insurance. Damn you, Obamacare!
Gisele is trending at # 8 because she shared "breastfeeding photo" - really am not sure if the guys who love Victoria's Secret models were awed or scared by that particular shot.
Selena Gomez claims that she is the type of girl guys would love to take home to their mothers - dream on, lady.
"7 things you may not know about Britney Spears" - I am happy to remain ignorant on the subject.
Bieber complained that "people forget I am a human being" - so please behave like one.
Mazal Tov to Kate Winslet on the birth of her son - now the wait begins: what kind of crazy name will this celeb baby get?!!
Coffee this morning in my Boston mug - because I think they are even colder today than we are.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 10
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! It's cold, snowing, and yucky outside. The cats, once again, decided to hibernate -George on my bed, and Sniff on Baby Bro's chair. Of course, first they had to have at least two good fights.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual - also first thing in the morning.
Currently trending at #1 is someone called Kandi Burruss - because she not not currently speaking to someone else called Mama Joyce - that's what is called top news?!!!
Trending at #2 is Adam Sandler - because, according to Forbes, he is the most overpaid actor in Hollywood. I disagree - there are so many more so-called actors in Hollywood who deserve this title much more than Sandler.
Winter coats are trending at #8 - I think they deserve the top spot.
Diamond earrings are trailing at the last spot on #10 - really should be number 2, right after the winter coats.
"Michelle Obama's chic emerald gown" - the cult of personality lives on, and the feast during the plague is raging full force.
TSA sank to the new low by confiscating a toy gun from a Sock Monkey.
The is a calendar of NYC cabbies on the market - please, my eyes!
"Bieber visits Philippines" - poor people! Typhoon was not enough?!
"Candy Crush is too popular for its own good" - I don't think they mind much.
Coffee this morning in my Aruba mug - I wish I was there right now.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 9
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! Shavua Tov! Wishing all of you a fantastic week!
The weather is, well, December in NY - no flippies. Sniffy continues to impersonate the reincarnation of a Egyptian god - i.e. he looks down with scorn and disdain at everyone for the last 48 hours or so. George found something worthwhile on the street, but then decided that my bed is soooo much better.
Our costumers continue to be a source of unending entertainment.
The crazy upstairs stopped with the banging for now and resorted to only her usual.
Currently trending at #5 are cruise deals - only #5? What else can you think about during winter but a nice cruise to some warm place?!!
A hot subject on everyone's mind - Mariah Carey's "risque holiday outfits". Again, why is this news? When she would be able to blend with our people in Billy Burgh, that would indeed be a front page material and a hot topic to discuss.
"Sneaky diet tip: cook your pasta al dente" - you cook your pasta al dente, you eat it raw, you stay on a diet. Leave me alone to enjoy my thoroughly cooked spaghetti.
"Justin Bieber describes ideal girl" - spare me!
Kim K. invited a fan to sit with her during Kanye's concert - aw, how sweet!
Coffee this morning will be in my Gevalia travel mug.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 6
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's rainy and blah-y again, but still warm - at least for the next day or two.
Sniff is up to his usual - sitting on Baby Bro's bed and giving everyone dirty looks. George is in a bad mood, and after doing his usual complaining, plus sneaking in a dirty deed, he is now snoozing in his huge Amazon box.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual as well.
NO CNN today!!! Just Channel 11 on mute - thank you, Gd!
Currently trending at #1 is someone named Porsha Williams - because she finalized her divorce. I wonder how many more people did precisely that today.
Trending at #6 is Mandy Patinkin - because he shaved his "iconic Homeland beard". Congrats, Mandy! You look infinitely better without it (never mind a few months younger).
And trending at #8 is Gwen Stefani - due to showing "Biggest Baby Bump Yet". Oh, please! Just drive east from my house for about 20 minutes, and you will see baby bumps that Gwen never dreamt of.
Jay-Z and Beyonce went on a 22 day vegan "spiritual and physical cleanse" that may not be good for their health - I am not worried. As some of Hussein's biggest buddies, I am sure they are exempt from Obamacare.
Another report claims that their little darling "dresses better than you do" - wow! No joke, Sherlock!
"Miley style conundrum" - what conundrum? What style?
Joey Fatone from 'N Sync is loosing his hair - hence he got a "new gig" as a spokesman for Bosley Hair restoration.
San Fran is number 1 city for hipsters - our fair city of New York is only at #5, even though we got the biggest number of them living here.
"Justin Bieber Is A Free Man After Being Detained For Drug Search In Australia" - what else is new?
And, finally, Kate took a break from wearing royal jewelry and wore a costume necklace to the movie premier - it still sparkled in the pictures.
Coffee this morning in a disposable cup from the bagel shop next to the blessedly quite laundromat.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 5
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! Happy Eight Day of Chanukah! Ladies, I hope this Rosh Chodesh was very nice, and hubbies remembered it as well
It's dreary outside, but still pretty warm for December.
Sniff did not overturn his bowl this morning - he just stirred the contents around, and then decided to have breakfast. George was so hungry for chicken that he continued eating despite all the noises that usually spook him.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual stuff, plus she added some kind of on again, off again banging to her repertoire.
According to Men's Health, 85% of men admitted to ogling women in the gym - I guess the other 15% are either not honest or are batting for the other team, so to speak.
Currently trending at #9 is little black dress - probably because it's a popular item on the shopping list; definitely top page news.
A new initiative in Amsterdam that offers alcoholics beer in lieu of payment for cleaning the streets is gaining popularity - may we take a page from the same book and start paying politicians in manure?
Our Dear Leader is not allowed to use an Iphone for "security reasons" and is stuck with Blackberry - aw, poor Hussein!
Krispy Krems are the top donuts of this year - well done! Could you please come to NY already?!!!
A color called "radiant orchid" will the be the color of the year for 2014 - did you hear that, Building Management? Start stacking up on it - and maybe re-paint the hallway?
New trend in bathroom appliances - vitamin C shower filters. Building Management, get to work!
"Jessica Simpson looks to hot to handle" - so don't handle! She is not your wife anyway.
"Justin Bieber's video vixen claims Selena Gomez dissed her" - oh, get a life, lady. Why would you care about Selena, or get mixed up with Bieber anyway?!
And, finally, there is a whole discussion about the history of the tiara that Kate wore recently - fascinating, that one.
Coffee this morning in my Harry Potter mug - the new version.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 4
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! Happy Seventh Day of Chanukah! Happy Rosh Chodesh! Ladies, I hope your hubbies remembered about Rosh Chodesh yesterday, and if not, they have today to do something about it.
The weather rocks once again, so don't be surprised if Al Gore and some of the members of the IPCC will climb out from under some rock they were hiding, and lecture us a bit more.
Sniff came in to be petted this morning, then, as usual, proceed to eat my blanket. George is snoozing in his huge Amazon box.
No mice made an appearance yesterday, and we also got our shipment of Mockingjay!!!
Octavia Spencer is yet another celebrity who decided to become a children's book author. Also, we had some actor from True Blood making an appearance, as he also decided to write a book.
Currently trending at #7 are Ugg Boots - because they are "Black Friday's Hottest Fashion Item". People really have no taste in clothes, but as long as they are wasting their own money, let them enjoy their ugly boots - pun not intended.
Gillian Andersen posed for a photo with an eel for some kind of ocean benefit campaign - needless to say, she was also topless. I was always wondering at the necessity of ditching clothes in order to protect Mother Earth.
The most popular puppy names in 2013 were Bella and Max - any guesses why?
Kaley Couco is vacationing in the Bahamas with her fiance - who does not want to vacation in the Bahamas in December?
Jennifer Hudson admitted that at the time she won her Oscar she had no idea what Oscar meant - here is a record of living in a cave, ladies and gents!
Pope admitted that one of his past jobs was being a bouncer at the Buenos Aires airport - interesting, that.
"Justin Bieber is all grown up in the new music video" - really?!! You don't say!
And, finally, Kate wore a tiara for the first time since her wedding - long overdue, princess!

The most popular puppy names in 2013 were Bella and Max - any guesses why?
Kaley Couco is vacationing in the Bahamas with her fiance - who does not want to vacation in the Bahamas in December?
Jennifer Hudson admitted that at the time she won her Oscar she had no idea what Oscar meant - here is a record of living in a cave, ladies and gents!
Pope admitted that one of his past jobs was being a bouncer at the Buenos Aires airport - interesting, that.
"Justin Bieber is all grown up in the new music video" - really?!! You don't say!
And, finally, Kate wore a tiara for the first time since her wedding - long overdue, princess!

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 3
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! Happy Sixth Day of Chanukah! Happy Rosh Chodesh! Ladies, please don't forget that this is your half-holiday - or at least make sure your hubbies remember it!
The weather is simply rocking, considering that it's December in our fair city. Cats are definitely more awake - this morning I woke up to a strange racket that turned out to be their fight. After the said fight, Sniff came in for some sugar, and then proceeded to eat my blanket once again. They also got a new fountain that His Highness George approves of, so his pink drinking bowl is now his feeding bowl for his chicken.
Another mouse made his or her appearance yesterday - I was just amused and said hi to it; the costumer in the next aisle was duly scandalized, the big ninny.
Currently trending at #1 is Ozzy Osbourne - tamely enough, only due to his 65th birthday. Well, Happy Birthday, Ozzy!
Trending at #3 is Darth Vader - because it looks like he posted an Iphone selfie. Wow, even the forces of evil are not immune to the lures of vanity and modern technology!
Trending at #4 is Kardashian christmas card - wow, only #4?!!! This piece of earth-shattering news surely deserves the top spot!
George Clooney claims that he got a glimpse of his dream woman when he was 11, fell in love, and hence did not meet "The One" yet - dude, nobody is really berating you for your womanizing, so, just enjoy it while you can and don't blurt stuff that would require somebody to call in psychiatric help.
Miley Cyrus was the most searched name on Yahoo this year, followed by Kim K; Bieber was at #10, and Selena Gomez at #5 - interesting statistics, what can I say.
Royal Baby, on the other hand, had a huge impact on the baby naming trends, both for boys and girls - well, Georgette is not the worst name a little girl can get stuck with; and if you disagree, just think of North West.
And, finally, Kate wants her mother to accompany them on their upcoming tour as a traveling nanny - I see this trend of grandma babysitter is not limited to the people from step-mama country.

MORNING UPDATE - DECEMBER 2
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! Happy Fifth Day of Chanukah! Wishing all of you a fantastic week!
The weather seems to be warming up. Kitties are warming up too - George complains more, and Sniff fights more often. Now, however, they are blissfully quite, with Sniff snoozing in the cat house next to me.
Speaking of cats - would like to institute Bring Your Pet To Work Day, as our floor seems to be home to a few mice. Would be really interesting to see the results.
Yesterday 2 barbarians from step-mama country were complaining about the lack of organic apples in the local fruit store. Was dearly tempted to offer them to go back to whence they came and grow their own very organic apples.
The latest issue of Men's Health has a very interesting article about health and psychological benefits of being grateful. Basically, simple mantra of "count your blessings" has a whole field of psychology growing out of it. But, of course, people who have faith are supposed to be backwards, dim, and uneducated.
Both Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are flitting around the top ten currently trending because it looks like he wants to "woo" her back by any means necessary, even pancakes! Wasn't he the one who walked out on her? Plus, since when is she eating pancakes?!!
Jeff Bezos claims that he has a "futuristic" idea that will ensure the package delivery in 30 minutes or less - not if you partner with USPS, dude! Their futurist ideas seem to include the employment of tortoises.
Yet another holiday survival guide for singles, including the requisite picture of a woman with the cat! Seriously?!!! I would take my cats - or the cat pictured - over any guy I ever dated. Believe me, my holiday season is richer due in large parts to minimal amounts of male idiocy.
10 "savvy" end of year tax moves - number one would be getting rid of the IRS; that would definitely be "savvy"!
"Kris and Bruce speak out about split" - assuring their kids on camera that everything will be fine! No wonder their offspring is so touched in the head.
And, finally, Bieber went shirtless again - this time in Sidney; poor Aussies!
Coffee this morning in my funky clear glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE - NOVEMBER 29
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! Happy Second day of Chanukah!
The weather improved slightly from yesterday, but still pretty chilly. Feline companions are in hibernation mode - which, of course, did not prevent George from a bit of whining in the morning, and Sniff from making a mess with food and fighting with the old guy.
As it's Black Friday, I am staying home - totally away from the madness.
Currently trending at #3 is Nicki Minaj - because her "Selfie Exposes Ample Cleavage". If something exposed her brain or education, that would be news. Her, um, generous attributes, on the other hand, are very much old news.
Trending at #7 is Victoria Beckham - as she "guest-edited" the last issue of Paris Vogue. I guess this is becoming another one of her career choices, as she also guest-edited an issue of American Glamour earlier this year - and, needless to say, breaking news.
At at #9 we have Mariah Carey - because she claimed to have baked a pie, hence the whole discussion ensued as to whatever she really did or did not make it.
Our wonderful First Lady claims that she does not want her daughters to be on the Facebook - it's OK, Michelle! The deep disgust we feel for you and your dear husband is expressed outside the Facebook as well.
Justin Bieber left his "artwork", otherwise known as graffiti, in a hotel in Australia. The hotel is proud, but the mayor ordered him to "clean up his mess" - poor Bieber! The dude just can't catch a break!
Kate attended a charity gala while Will was supposedly on babysitting duty - aw!!! The royal family got so poor that they could not afford a babysitter so those two can go together?

MORNING UPDATE - NOVEMBER 28
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! Happy First Day of Chanukah! Happy Thanksgiving!
The weather is arctic. Baby Bro decided to give the crazy upstairs a run for her money and vacuumed the place; she took it as a personal insult and vacuumed extra strong right after him.
Cats do not like the vacuum. George run into hiding right away; Sniff started to play mashgiach at first, but then got very suspicious and defensive, and finally run away too.
My mom's former co-worker called her today to wish her a Happy Chanukah, and made a very nice blessing "may all the Jews always appreciate each other!" Amen to that!
As for learned men and women among out people who claim that celebrating Thanksgiving is against our religion, and that we really should be grateful every day, and not dedicate only one day for that, allow me to tell you one thing. Take this one day to be grateful for this country - just one day a year.
Just chew on this: when Ferdinand and Isabella, may they rot in hell for eternity, sent Columbus on his famous journey (most probably using some money confiscated from Jews), they never dreamt of setting in motion a chain of events that would result in creation of a country that would serve as a refuge for the descendants of the Jews they expelled! To me the whole story was just one example of historical irony that our enemies suffer from - and, needless to say, Gd's many miracles.
So, peeps, just take a few minutes to say a little prayer for our country - it needs it now more than ever. Be grateful for all that we have here - even if it's just for one day.
Coffee this morning in my San Fran latte mug - because as much as I hate Californian politics, I do love Californian climate!
