MORNING UPDATE - June 26, 2014

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! It's really hot outside, but not so bad in the shade. Snow is sunning herself while a cute kitten came to claim her breakfast.
My nephew served as a volunteer animal control representative recently by being asked to remove a chameleon from a neighbor's apartment.
Goodreads continues to entertain - their latest suggestion is Essential Manners for Men based on - guess what? The fact that I read The Prince!
Currently trending at # 1 is Kanye West - because he is still wearing a necklace in honor of his daughter's first birthday and because he avoided doing really stinky community service by teaching fashion at LA Trade Technical College. Nice move, Kanye!
Trending at # 3 is George Stephanopoulos - for winning "ABC's 'Chief Anchor Crown". I don't know which one is more pathetic - the award or the winner.
Paris Hilton nearly missed her flight because of the abundance of her luggage - breaking piece of world news that one is.
"Right, wrong way to tie laces" - the only phrase that comes to mind is "have a lobotomy".
"Red wine that pairs perfectly with pizza" - it's wine and it's pizza! Just enjoy it - without turning into the Crane brothers!
Katy Perry just shot to the first place because she demonstrated at least 3 times that she loves America. How? By promoting Hillary, by calling Biden "Q-T" on the Instagram, and probably by supporting Obama - I think America can do without this tender loving.
"Inside Kim Kardashian's romantic honeymoon" - spare me the details.
No news on the Bieber front.
And, finally, I sort of figured out how to use the coffee machine.

MORNING UPDATE - NOVEMBER 25

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! The weather took a completely arctic turn - not only can't I wear flippies, but I had to dig out my socks!
Kitties are not enjoying the weather either - Sniff keeps alternating between the pipe in the kitchen and the one in the bathroom, and George likes to hug a throw that I crochet ones.
Last week I had to shelve a thin biography of Dr. Blackwell next to over-abundance of books about Bieber - sad, that. How many girls who think that Bieber is the height of cool know about Dr. Blackwell?
And speaking of sad things - currently trending at #3 is George Stephanopolus, because he interviewed our sorry excuse of a Secretary of State. You know something - I prefer to hear about Bieber, after all.
There is also a whole discussion about "dazzling" outfits at the American Music Awards. Aguilera showed up in "low cut dress with strategic cutouts" - very original of her.
Miley Cyrus did something "bizarre and sexy" at those Awards - again, very, very original.
Gaga, of course, "upstaged" Miley at the AMA - what else is new?
"Delicious Thanksgiving sides without guild" - the word "guilt" should never, ever, ever, never be attached to anything related to food, especially holiday food!
Singles hate the question "why aren't you married yet" - duh!!! You just found out that one?!!
The rest is about football, so, as usual, no comment.
Coffee this morning in my Aruba mug - would dearly love to be there right now.
