The Best Motto

Gd, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannon change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

You woke up this morning - Congratulations! You got another chance!

MORNING UPDATE, August 31, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! 

Jo Rowling got the official permission from Edinburgh City Council to build HP-themed tree houses on her property - I did not have a yen to visit Scotland in a while, but now I do. Mariah was photographed dipping in the pool with her twins - I guess she was the only mother in the universe to take her kids to the pool. Drug-resistant TB is trending at #8 - but nowhere does it mention that illegals are bringing it here. Tori Spelling's baby is trending at #1 - Mazal Tov, Tori, on the birth of baby boy. Charlie Sheen is trending at #3 - this time not because he got drunk and disorderly, but because his new movie is coming out. And Britney Spears was able to track down the white python she danced with once - and she is happy to report that the snake is alive and well, and that her name is Banana.

MORNING UPDATE, September 2, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Shavua Tov! Wishing you all a fantastic week filled with His blessings! 

American Idol is trending at #6 - well, somebody did compare Presidential elections to American Idol, so, I guess it's very relevant. Then there is a list of Labor Day sales to avoid - providing people still have money to shop those sales. And then there is a warning about living pets unattended while traveling during the holiday weekend since they can make a huge muss - big whoop; my pets make huge messes with me in the house all the time. There is also a quiz that will tell women if they are Jackie or Marilyn - no alternatives allowed? Well, I guess men are simple creatures and only see in 2 dimensions. 

And, finally, I am announcing the return of coffee cup updates due to September and Labor Day weekend - which is the official end of A/C season (HAHAHA); but, anyway, I am back to warm/hot coffee, and today's choice is huge latter mug I used to keep on my desk for tea; it has a big monogrammed K on it - this particular letter does not have any meaning for me, but it was the only mug not demolished by barbarians on the Conway shelf.

MORNING UPDATE, September 3, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! Baby Bro is back, so cats can't decide now where to sleep, with whom to snuggle, and who will be more susceptible to pathetic meowing. 

The important intelligence is coming out - it looks like Katie Holmes was not Tom's first choice, and that the church of Scientology had a whole whetting process! Also, very important advice from a man to women putting their profiles on the dating sites - don't over-share: putting down that Harry Potter is your favorite book is just very sad - WTH?!! Putting down the list of my fave books is over-sharing, and liking HP is pathetic? No wonder I am single. In other important news - fall is coming, so put away your flip flops and put on the it shoes for the season, which just happened to be narrow stilettos. Ah, to hell with fashion - flippies staying on for at least another 2 months. And Canadian bacon is the leanest on the market - our friends from the North are very concerned with our expanding waistlines, I guess. 

Coffee this morning in my Tweety glass - gosh, do I miss WB stores!!

MORNING UPDATE, September 4, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The remnants of Isaac are supposed to hit our neck of woods and spoil our over-wise usually magnificent weather for most of the week. 

Betty White is trending at #1 right now, because it looks like libtarts want her at their convention - at least this one should be funny haha, not funny stupid idiot. And the new study is out, claiming that shelling out on organic food would not significantly reduce your exposure to pesticides or increase the nutritional value - thanks, I would have told you that one for the fraction of the cost of this study. And the speculation continues as to which actresses auditioned to be Tom Cruise's wife - I guess Scientology shidduch system sucks as much as ours. Then there was another report on Beyoncé's life as a mom - because she is the only one in the world who has a newborn daughter I guess; needless to say, their disgusting antics at the hospital are promptly forgotten. And a huge nude land sculpture is due to be unveiled in the North of England - waiting with baited breath for the tolerant reaction of our first cousins. 

Coffee this morning in my green Target mug.

MORNING UPDATE, September 6, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! If you want to feel accomplished for the entire day - clean your bathroom first thing in the morning, and you will succeed! Dad and Baby Bro are involved in the legal dispute as to the official ownership of George - who meanwhile is sleeping on my bed. Curry, on the other hand, being officially my cat, refuses to leave Baby Bro's bed - well, Baby Bro's Apple USB cord he chewed through is way more expensive than the two of my Samsung ones, so, I guess it makes sense. 

Pippa Middleton is trending at #8, because she is visiting our fair city - well, if she looses her clothes, I don't think it will create such scandal, as we are used to seeing everything - and I mean everything! Elizabeth Warren claimed that the "system is rigged against the middle class" - she should know! Not only is it rigged against the middle class, it is rigged against "whities" - hence her claiming to be a Cherokee. And a fashion designer Matthew Williamson pointed out fashion faux pas in Britney's wardrobe - big whoop! I double and triple dare him to point those in parteigenosse Michelle's wardrobe - that would be not only very honest, but an act of extreme courage! 

Coffee this morning in my funky "cappuccino" mug.

MORNING UPDATE, September 9, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Happy Grandparents Day to all the wonderful Grannys and Granpas out there! Curry slept in the cat house, for a change; Baby Bro thinks he made progress in teaching the blessed cat not to eat his earphones.  There are now 26 banker boxes of romances! 

Alicia Keys is trending at #2 due to her new album - but not her idiotic racist rants. Tiger Woods is trending at #8 - this time due to his game, and not his women troubles. Larry Flynt, the publisher of Hustler, is offering 1 mil to see Romney's tax returns - wow, what a courageous act! And from a porn mogul! How about offering half this to see Comrade Barack Hussein's real birth certificate, college transcripts, and the reason he and parteigenosse Michelle surrendered their law licenses to the Illinois Bar? I guess no balls for that one - pun intended. Samsung is trending at #5 because of their excellent line of cell phones - I guess I have to master all the excellent features of mine. And then there is a list of eating mistakes women make - the biggest of which is stressing about what, when, how, and how much they eat; just eat and enjoy, for Pete's sake! 

Coffee this morning in my Disney Bean Bag Plush with the seven dwarfs mug - not be be confused with Disney Bean Bag Plush with Mickey and Minnie on it mug.

MORNING UPDATE, September 12, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather finally feels like fall and I can sleep without A/C - Yippee!! 

Avril Lavigne is currently trending at # 4, because she claims she is going to design a "bad ass" wedding gown for her wedding - hell, when did she get engaged? I am so behind in the news! Gwyneth Paltrow is at #5, because she was named the best dressed by People Magazine - sorry, parteigenosse Michelle, you did not make the top ten - must be the racist thing. The list of most popular baby names in the USA from 1911 is "dramatically different" from 2011 - but still looks way too "white"; and the name William made both lists - go figure which particular William made such an impression. There was also a list of America's best Italian restaurants - somehow, there was not one kosher eatery on that list - bummer! And you can use your pets as tax deductions - but mine did not make the list...bummer again! 

Coffee this morning in my musical notes mug.

MORNING UPDATE, September 16, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Shavua Tov! Happy Erev Rosh Hashana! Wishing you a fantastic week filled with His blessings! As previously reported, somebody stole my toilet paper - hoping this would be a kaparah. Poor George is completely disoriented due to constant moving and shaking at the place - so he found a permanent refuge on my bed. Curry decided that interfering in any and all cleaning attempts is super fun. 

Rosh Hashana is currently trending at $7 - in between the naked German monk at #6, and foreclosures at #8 - interesting combination, that. And than there is a list of tasty beef meals for less than 3 bucks a serving - I assume they did not shop at the kosher grocery. Kim Kardashian is trending at #1 due to another boneheaded utterance - man, I am so surprised! 

Coffee this morning in my white glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE, September 19, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! Hope everyone had a great Rosh Hashana! Plus, not knowing what is happening in the world for two days - priceless! I also had an interesting guest: a Russian girl who came here to celebrate at the Kaballah Center in the city, with Madonna and Ashton Kutcher - since when is Ashton Kutcher into Kaballah? On the side note, she loved my cats, and Curry slept with her. 

Twihards, rejoice - there are rumors of Kristen and R-Patz reuniting! According to Bobby Flay, the ultimate burger is supposed to be made from a lean ground chuck - provided the average citizen can still afford any kind of beef after 4 years of BHO rule, two of which consisted of completely unchecked Democrat powerfast; plus, I think parteigenosse Michelle disapproves of burgers as being unhealthy. And Nemo, otherwise known as orange clownfish, is in danger of extinction due to global warming - the real danger to the global warming deniers' careers and sometimes their lives was on the agenda. 

No coffee mug update due to no coffee due to fast. If you are fasting today, hope it is easy and meaningful.

MORNING UPDATE, September 20, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather rocks! Trader Joe's, you bastards - after getting the shallots from you, buying them locally is not an option; I got it - returning soon! 

A Japanese dude built a living room around the statue of Columbus - so now you can socialize with him eye to eye (and maybe ask him to shake some common sense in the young generation of Americans). Idiots in Rhode Island decided to ban the father-daughter dance because of a complaint made by a single mother - there is a reason I can't stand today's feminists. Salman Rushdie decided to weigh in on the "anti-Islam" video, which, in his estimation, is pathetic - nice for him to yup from America, where he is save. Drew Barrymore is trending at #2 because she is pregnant - at least she is not making the same waves as a certain famous Jewish hairdresser. Lady Gaga showed up in the meat corset - I guess she and her stylists are running out of ideas. And a recent study shows that baby boys who used the pacifiers are much less mature later in life - gosh, the excuses the men come up with! 

Coffee this morning in my striped glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE, January 7, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! The weather is blah-y and rainy; this morning it was announced that the temperatures are approaching freezing - which put all the locals in distress, while yours truly just shrugged her shoulders. Harry Potter is beginning to work his magic on the youngsters here, and I have to tell it not only at night, but also in the morning.

 And now, for the important announcements: Bieber unveiled a new tat, but then visited a sick girl in the hospital - I guess it was a bit of a balancing act. Octomom is back on welfare - I am officially shocked. Thomas Gibson got arrested for DIU - did he mistake himself for an FBI agent or a lawyer? Another famous preggo - Kim Kardashian - "stepped out in style", or, rather, in the lack of style. Also, still wondering when will her boyfriend wake up to the fact that she is a white girl?! Unfortunately, no news on the most famous preggo - Duchess Kate; oh, well... And Matt Damon's new movie is "judged as too gay" - no biggie; he will not loose his adoring fans anyway. Phoenix, AZ, has the "hottest" housing market as of now; on the second place - Provo, UT; hum...interesting, that...And since when are social studies a more demanding major than business? I guess since the age of Hussein. 

Coffee this morning in the bigger mug.

MORNING UPDATE, January 16, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather is rocking once again - hence another round with the mutant. Speaking of which - a dude just delivered a new appliance on his back, with 5 steps before the elevator, walk from the elevator, and then schlepped it up the stairs to the second floor - he obviously does not belong to the union. 

Just found out that there is another doomsday clock - give me a break already! Somebody named Julianne Hough ripped her dress while dancing after the Golden Globes - oh, please, lady! Only more of your legs was showing - nobody gets heart palpitations from that, aside from assorted religious nuts. Megan Fox claims that she no longer reveres Marilyn Monroe - why, Megan? Because she was way hotter looking and a better actress? Girl Scouts came up with a new cookie, which is "nutrient-infused" - parteigenosse Michelle, lay off the Girl Scouts! Ivanka Trump went back to her high school hair color, which is brunette - to me she looks better, but then I don't understand this whole hair-coloring business to begin with. Sofia Vergara's wedding is trending at #4 - even though she has no idea when she is getting married; I guess the anticipation is as huge as for the Royal baby.

Yesterday - cappuccino with stars and stripes; today - with huge heart!

MORNING UPDATE, January 17, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather is beyond gorgeous, so we did a little hike and wildflower search today. Was also called "baby whisperer" and, once again, disqualified by Her Royal Highness - this time from the royal dressers, and without any excuses. 

GQ is drawing ire with their "hottest women" issue - but, as usual, not from the "family values" crowd; it looks like this particular publication printed something that sounds slightly non-PC - give me a break, people! They have that racist Obama-supporting jackass-ess Beyoncé on their cover; what else do you want?! J. Lo is worrying about her "younger beau" - genius, either he is into you or not! If you are worried and have questions - something is obviously "fishy" in the state of Denmark. GLAAD nominated Honey Boo Boo for something or other - where are the vermin from WBC when you need them? Amanda Bynes showed off new cheek piercing (which is currently trending at #5) - paging APA (mostly for her fans, but for her as well). Trending at #8: Kelly Ripa admitting to having Botox - please, tell me something that's not so gosh darn obvious! Sofia Vergara still did not set up her wedding date; there are no news on the Royal Baby, and Bieber is absent once again, darn it! 

Cappuccino in the paper cup with Belgian waffles and ice cream on the side!

MORNING UPDATE, January 18, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! The weather continues to rock, so, another load of laundry  Cute South-African neighbors are playing some kind of nice toons. For the past 20 hours can not locate half a bottle of canola oil - damn you, muggle-hating wizards! Speaking of which, completely missed Snape's b-day, which was on the 9th - but since I never really warmed up to him, the point is moot. 

Betty White is trending at #5 right now also due to her b-day: she is turning 91. In light of her advanced age, I guess I should forget about her support of Hussein; the guests at her Birthday bash include Clinton and Couric - double barf; but, heck, it's not my party. Parteigenosse Michelle is "debuting a dramatic new hairdo" - my only wish is that her and her hubby's next dramatic debut would be in court, being tried for felonious thefts and treason. Michael J. Fox does not approve of his son dating Taylor Swift - dude, take it easy! If your son decided to date a popular singer, she is the best on the scene right now. Ian Fleming supposedly modeled the Bond girl on his mistress - how original. According to some posh interior designer, a great kitchen needs 11 things - according to yours truly, a kitchen needs a bit of space, decent dishes, some food, and the absence of hungry men behaving like unreasonable children. And, finally, the great state of Texas is welcoming NYers and their guns - thanks, the great people of the Lone Star State!!! But we could not continue to surrender our positions to the haters of this country and their goons! 

Cappuccino made with love in the biggest mug! And a part of this report was typed with one hand, while the other was holding somebody very yummy.

MORNING UPDATE, January 20, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Shavua Tov! Wishing everyone a fantastic week filled with great news for America and Israel! The weather is rocking once again, and the middle-Eastern bastard surrendered (at least for now). I am continuing to breath like a stalker. The oil was located!! The role of the wizard was played by my esteemed bil; the mystery of the disappearing kugel, on the other hand, is still not solved. Yours truly once again incurred the Royal wrath, and this time was evicted from the Royal Tucker-Inners; and, even though I was forgiven later, I was still not admitted to the Royal Bath. Also, according to FB, I am supposed to attend a parenting class today - for the reasons that somehow elude me. And today marks the first time in known history when I washed a tomato with soap. 

Handbags and wallets are the #1 counterfeit in America, and about 80% of it originates in China - damn you, fashion mags! "Obama's firearms ban ignites pro-gun rallies" - wow, no joke, Sherlock! There is also a list of careers for people bored with their current jobs - wow! There are actually people who are bored with their jobs, and not just grateful to have one? And where in the world is Bieber? What happened to Gaga - no wardrobe eruptions in a whole week! And how goes Kardashian pregnancy? Very slow news day! 

Cappuccino in a medium cup.

MORNING UPDATE, February 4, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! The weather is sunny and cold - well, at least it's sunny. I spent 8 hours in Amsterdam without going anywhere close to Mary Jane - hell, am an embarrassment to geeks everywhere! Also, in completely un-American fashion, totally ignored Super Bowl and Super Bowl attachments yesterday - and it looks like missed some excitement in the bargain. Although, no one lost their clothes, so, nothing to report. In completely unrelated news, Dumbledore's official title is now Menahel. 

And now, for the Earth-shuttering events: Kate's baby bump was officially witnessed by paparazzi! (which event is currently trending at #1). She was - what else - shopping for the maternity clothes; well, good luck, lady - both with the shopping and the paparazzi. Conspiracy theorists claim that Beyoncé flashed an Illuminati sign during her performance - I don't think that woman has education enough to know about Illuminati (of course, there is always the distinguished works of that cheep scribe, Dan Brown, so, the debate stands). According to the Epicurious, Whole Food's vanilla is the best ice cream - no comment, as never tasted; however, I strongly disagree with their second runner-up - Breyer's - no taste at all! Haagen Dazs rules! Super Bowl swearing is trending at #8 - because Raven's QB apparently expressed himself in non-printable terms; spare me - did you ever take a bus full of "inner city" kids dismissed from school? Raven's Quarter Back got nothing on them! New advice from Match.com: 10 reasons to dump a guy; number 2 - if he is mama's boy; lady, you obviously are not familiar with the Jewish dating scene - 98.9% of them are mama's boys! If we dump them or don't date them, who is left? And where in the world is Bieber?!!! Although I recently learned (quite by accident) that he was performing at the 2012 Victoria's Secret annual fashion show - hum, go, Bieber? 

Coffee this morning in my Coffee Bean/Tea Leaf mug.

MORNING UPDATE, February 7, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather is, well, seasonal...According to Baby Bro, my coffee can strip the paint off the walls - and after tasting some from a local shop yesterday, I sort of got what he is saying - hurray for my cooking skills! Curry is officially renamed Mr. Sniffles - also compliments of Baby Bro. 

In case you missed it, archaeologists finally unearthed the remains of Richard III - and the guy did have a bad case of scoliosis! Lucy Lawless is trending at #6 now because she was sentenced to 120 hours of community service and $547 fine for trespassing on an oil tanker - I guess she realized that only peeps as old as I or older remember who she is, so she needs to boost her image for the younger generation by showing what a wonderful envirowaco she is. The new study shows that people can "guess your age, gender and income" looking at your shoes - yea, if you gaze at my flip flops and see my feet, you can sort of guess my gender and income; age might be another story. The longest married US couple lives in CT and have been married for 80 years - congrats! And, of course, her wedding dress, veil, and bouquet look stunning! There is also someone's hair in the news - this time it is Aniston's, who was wearing "platinum wig" in her new movie - truly important update, without which we could not possible go into weekend! There are also detailed instructions on how to hunt for a python - who is that bored or stupid? Also, never fill up in a Thursday, because it looks like the prices are highest on this day - or the entire time we have an America-hating President in the office. No news on Royal or Kardashian pregnancies, and Bieber is missing in action as well - I guess that makes it a very slow news day. 

Coffee this morning in my Disney Dalmatian spots mug.

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 11, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! Happy Rosh Chodesh Adar! Ladies, another reminder - very LIGHT housework!! And remind your husbands that they have another day to redeem themselves and get you a present. The weather is, once again, NY February, and the snow under my window is turning grey and slushy. 

Bieber is back!!!! He is currently trending at #1 - surprise, that. It looks like he hosted the latest SNL, and jokingly apologized for his "weed bust" - teens and tweens, rejoice once more! In regards to Grammys - I went through their red carpet shots last night, and, in my unprofessional opinion, this lot looks even scarier than the Oscar parade, and in the immediate need of psychiatric help. Oh, and their wardrobe choices mostly stink, with rare exceptions. Adele looked cute - but then, she is the only real looking person in there. J. Lo came half-naked - big news, that. And "Brown, Rihanna snuggled together" - one more proof of need for anti-psychotic meds. Pope is stepping down; his replacement is supposed to take over by the end of March - I wonder if the new guy will continue with HP obsession and Muslim butt-kissing. And a "dirtier side" of solar energy revealed - it looks like this particular industry is producing a whole bunch of hazardous waste; gee wiz, I am simply floored with astonishment! There is also a whole advise on how to prep your house for winter - for whom, Australians? In case you missed it, guys, we are in the middle of February; the time for winter preparation is kinda over. And, finally, another celeb hairdo makes it into the news - this time it's Helen Mirren (currently trending at #9), who "debuted" pink hair - trying to fight the old age? 

Coffee this morning in my Aruba mug (yea, I know, once again).

MORNING UPDATES, February 12, 2013

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! Ladies, I hope Rosh Chodesh rocked, and you got nice presents from your hubbies! The weather continues to be NY February, and the snow under my window is almost gone - mainly slush left. George got jealous when Sniffles cuddled up with Baby Bro, and was giving them dirty looks. The crazy upstairs did not disappoint - the vacuuming session just finished. 

Everyone is concerned as to who is going to be a new Pope - since when is everyone a Catholic? There is a rumor going on that Bieber photocopied his, um, family jewel during the SNL rehearsal, and sent it to Hilary as a Valentine card - there were no comments or confirmations from Bill on that particular topic. There is also a huge asteroid coming our way that's supposed to "brush" by Earth, or, in worse case scenario, destroy DC - why is that a worse case scenario? I just want to warn Bachmann, Cruz, and couple of other half-decent politicians to stay away - and it would be a best case scenario. Again all the famous preggos keep mum - frustrating, that. And, finally, the President of Chechnya declared war on witches and seers - I guess that is the biggest problem his country is facing today, and the rest of them were solved long time ago. 


Coffee this morning in my Harry Potter mug.
