MORNING UPDATE - February 19, 2014

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather is in the 40s - be still, my heart! This winter was so bad that it finally killed a sweater of mine that I had since the first Clinton administration. I also run out of socks this week, and had to borrow some from Baby Bro. But at least nobody can attack Phil this time around as he did predict a long end of winter and a cold spring.
My roomie got himself a new bed - so the space under it is a new territory to relax in, to claim for, and to fight on for our feline companions.
The crazy upstairs is non-stoppable.
Another person who decided to write a kiddie book - Ringo Starr.
Currently trending at #1 is Lamar Odom - who is "heading to Spain to escape Kardashian clan". We, unfortunately, are not so lucky.
Trending at #2 is Jason Biggs - because he and wife "welcomed baby boy". Good luck to the kid not discovering his daddy's body of work.
Meryl Streep is currently at #6 - as being "grateful for 18th Oscar nomination". Don't worry, Meryl, if you do an anti-gun movie as promised, you will get about 3 Oscars for that one; guaranteed.
"J. Lo.'s risque look shocks and delights" - oh, give me a break! After that green number she wore at the Oscars back in 2000 she has a hard time beating her own record.
"Gun club for liberals" - that's something I did not see before. Apparently, they "love guns, but hate NRA's conservative agenda". As always, liberal brain matter shines through.
New study shows that lonely people "face elevated blood pressure and other health issues" - how come my blood pressure calms when I am alone and not forced to deal with human idiocy?
"Sharon Stone's aging crisis" - how about volunteering at the nursing home? That would cure fretting about turning 56.
"Worst week to call IRS" - there is actually a good week?!!
"US running short on clowns" - of course we are! All the clowns escaped to DC!
And, finally, a bank in Italy has a vault capable of holding 440,000 heads of Parmesan - I love Italians.
Coffee this morning in my stripped glass from Target.

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.
