MORNING UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 15

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Shavua Tov! Shana Tova! The weather rocks! I hope your Yom Kippur was as uplifting as mine. Here is to hoping for a fantastic, happy, healthy, sweet, blessed, prosperous, and peaceful year! In honor of the last High Holidays before Rabbi Cohen's retirement, our congregation had a whole hour and a half break before Mussaf and Mincha!! 
Sniff slept with me for the past two nights, which is pretty unusual for him; but then he would transfer into the cat house towards the morning and greet me with his usual "I am the master, puny human" look. George got a whole bunch of wet food and is getting even whinier in his old age. Right now he is taking a quiet bath on my bed.
One of my idiot barbarian neighbours is cooking bones - welcome to the hood.
Happy Anniversary to my family! Today makes 25 years on the Hebrew calendar of our arrival to this blessed country in the smoking compartment of the Pan Am flight from Rome. Thank you, Father, for this blessing!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is currently trending at #1 because she started at Fox and claims that it "feels like home" - well, duh!
Emma Watson's hairdo is in the news again - this time it's a "fresh take on a classic bob" and one of the "must-have looks for fall"; thanks, but I am staying with my present hairdo.
"Aniston dares in strapless dress" - wow, what a heart-stopping headline! But why is this news? It's not like it's the first time she put on a strapless dress...just saying.
Bieber was "spotted with a brunette" who is supposed to be a singer who is supposed to have been his girlfriend before Selena - I wonder by what moniker he went before Jelena.
"Krispy Kreme changes its doughnut strategy" - how about to just coming to New York, for starters?
And, finally, there was a speculation about Kate's hair - are they naturally curly or not; the conclusion was that, yes, they are. People must have really boring lives.
Coffee this morning in my funky clear glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE - AUGUST 23

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is not bad - so far. Feline companions really tested my patience this morning, and are now resting from their hard labors. 
Was tortured by over 2 hours of CNN this morning! Whoever thinks it's a news service - serious or otherwise - needs to be medicated!
Two nights ago discovered another reason to love Trader Joe's - you can go there for kosher poultry around Holiday season! Better prices and nicer looking merchandise!
Currently trending at #1 is Elizabeth Hasselbeck - because now we know the official date of her start with Fox and Friends. Big deal!
Trending at #3: Third gender option - Germany is the first country to offer this option on a birth certificate. Come again?!! What third gender?!! It's either a boy or a girl - what else is there? Psychotic politically correct left-winger? That's not a gender - plus, it's not evident at birth.
Jennifer Hudson "becomes first black Disney princess" - she was dressed up as Princess Tiana in Annie Leibovitz's shot. Jeepers, what an achievement! Up there with developing the polio vaccine, that is.
Kanye "unveiled" the first photo of his daughter and added that he hopes she would look like her mother - yea, Kanye, she would benefit from looking like her mother more than from looking like you. Unfortunately, she would still have a combination of her parents' brains!
Julia Roberts was spotted on a beach wearing "poncho style" sweater instead of a bathing suit - as long as she was not doing her usual political garbage, I don't care in what get up she wanted to swim.
"Sorry Coffee Snobs, America's Favorite Is Still Folgers" - drat. I guess I am a coffee snob, as I don't like Folgers.
"Pattisson's Steamy Love Scene" - please spare me.
Coffee this morning in striped glass from Target.
