I wonder if Dad needed an ambulance after that one. BoneBowl

Weird Time for a Joke

mlkI don’t want to make light of MLK Day. It’s an important day, and it’s really important to me, but try as I might, I didn’t feel qualified to write a post about the man who has come to represent so much to so many. I understand that race relations, like most hot-button issues, are on a pendulum and are bound to swing backward once in a while. But this year, it feels like we’ve been spending more time swinging back than forward, and I worry that we are letting the great man down.

However, I didn’t want to let the day go by without acknowledging him, so here’s a joke he told on The Tonight Show in 1968. It’s very him.

Merry Swiftmas!

swiftmasI’m going to be brief because so many news outlets have already covered this story. I just wanted to be sure that my readers didn’t miss this sweet story about Taylor Swift.

So the queen of adorbs started cyber-stalking a number of her fans this year, reading details about their lives and what they liked on their social media accounts, then she went shopping and bought them holiday presents. She wrapped and packed the presents herself, and in one case, even delivered them in person. If this is an act, she’s seriously committed to the bit.

Watch this!

Thank You!

3826978809_0fc6c9b06dHappy Thanksgiving! (And to those outside the U.S., Happy Thursday!) I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you. It’s been a crazy 8 months since I started blogging.

In the last 281 days, I’ve found my voice, I’ve lowered my stress level, I’ve found many, many things to get excited about, and I’ve discovered all of you lovely people. I honestly can’t imagine my life without you anymore, and I’d like to thank you for everything you do for me, for your support,  your input, your kindness, your comments, your likes, your astute observations, and your valid arguments.  You make me feel heard, and this Thanksgiving, you make me feel great gratitude for you all.

Cheers, lovelies!

Hugs,

Donna

P.S. Don’t worry. A very special holiday episode of Etsomnia will be posted tomorrow!
