Happy December, everyone! I know we're already a week into it but this is the first post of the new month for me. I hope it's a good one for all of you. What's everyone been up to? It's been quiet for us and I haven't done all that much. Part of that is because of the back pain I've been dealing with for a few days. Not sure how it came about but here we are. This morning it was a tiny bit better, so I hope I'm on the road to recovery.
So this week we enjoyed watching Diana: In Her Own Words (documentary), Hillbilly Elegy (movie) and Becoming (an inspiring documentary about Michelle Obama's life). We're also into the series This Is Us ( (a romantic family drama that follows the lives and families of two parents and their three children in different time frames), which is amazing! It is heartwarming and emotional. Loving it. Have any of you seen it?
Now, shall we get to the (holiday) funny stuff? Yeah, let's do that. Enjoy, and have a wonderful day ahead.
The Little Drama Boy ha ha ha ha ha! That one is great Martha! And the Beetlejuice one too, I can relate hee hee! I hope yourThe Little Drama Boy ha ha ha ha ha! That one is great Martha! And the Beetlejuice one too, I can relate hee hee! I hope your back is doing better! Christmas will just be a little different this year for some folks! Better safe than sorry. Saint John had some kind of super spreader event and we got 60 new cases last week, which is big for NB. That's where I would normally shop, but I'll have to hit the local stores and do my best for Christmas food shopping! back is doing better!

ReplyDeleteIt's going to be quite different this Christmas, that's for sure. I'm okay with it. It wouldn't have been the way I wanted it to be but we'll be fine. It's a small sacrifice. As long as everyone is okay, the rest is manageable. Our cases have risen here but we're still not as bad as the big cities. I'm curious to see what it will be like when the holidays are over!
DeleteEvery single one of these is a gut-buster, LOL! Thanks, Martha!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteThese are all great Martha! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Taking a blog break so won't be commenting or posting for a bit.
ReplyDeleteBetty
Sounds lovely. Enjoy the break, Betty! Have a wonderful Christmas.
DeleteFunny, thanks.
ReplyDeleteNobody has ever asked me to say grace, but I do know a few Satanist incantations I suppose I could use. If anybody complained I'd just claim that was also a typo.
You'd be the talk of the gathering! LOL
DeleteGood ones Martha, all the best for your poor back. I want to recommend 'The Queen's Gambit' miniseries on Netflix, it is a winner for female empowerment.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check it out, Christine. Thanks!
DeletePeople know better than to ask me to say grace. I've got one saying. Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub, yeaaaaa god.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Love it :)
DeleteI had to call dh in to read these... now we're both laughing and that's an improvement over just getting thru the day!! The comments are hilarious too! Yeaaaaaa God!
ReplyDeleteLeeAnna at not afraid of color
I'm glad you enjoyed! I'll check out your blog.
DeleteThanks for the laughs, Martha. The first one made me chuckle, and the last one is also great. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! And I hope your week was a good one.
Delete"Cookies for Satan" I love it!
ReplyDeleteRight? LOL
Deletesorry about backache dear Martha i hope and pray for speedy recovery
ReplyDeleteyour new watch This Is Us sounds good i will go for for sure
enjoyed the all funnies but yes first one was fun lol
more blessings to you and family!
Thank you, Baili! I'm feeling much better. I hope you've had a lovely week.
DeleteI love cookies for satan and what did you do . . . dad? I'm going to test my skills by snapping my fingers and saying, "Martha's back pain be gone." Let me know if it works. It's quiet in my house, as usual, except when the dogs are in the living room and they see someone walking down the street. No gathering for Christmas at my house, but I never have a gathering so it's not a change. I know it's disappointing for you. I'm a devoted fan of This Is Us. It's so well done.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It wasn't long after your comment that I started to feel better, soooooo I don't know what witchy spell you cast but that snapping of the fingers obviously worked :)
DeleteWe always have small gatherings but I look forward to them each year. No big deal. It's a small sacrifice on our part. There'll be enough people ignoring the health guidelines and the numbers will rise. We don't want to be those people!
We got hooked on This Is Us from the start. Very well done and guaranteed to emotionally drain you.....in a good way.
ReplyDeleteIt's showtime!! lol
I know what you mean, Jim! It is emotionally draining in a good way. We have been watching nothing but that all week and we've decided it's time to add something funny or less emotional between episodes because we are emotionally exhausted! LOL
DeleteLOL, thanks. Sorry about your back pain, I hope it subsides with rest. You are making a good decision about Christmas. I hope you can enjoy the day and your viewing in the meantime.
ReplyDeleteThanks! My back is much better. We're happy with our decision about Christmas. Not a big sacrifice!
Deletethese funnies are so funny - love the cookies for satan, the cat, all of them gave me a laugh. I watched Hillbilly - ... I need to begin the last season of This is Us which I haven't yet. I loved a documentary called My Octopus Teacher. I watched Diana in her own words - so interesting especially with the latest season of the Crown.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got a laugh out of them, Sandy! We're into the third season of This Is Us. Such a great show.
Deleteoh sorry about your back pain - ... back issues are no fun~hope it heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteThey are not fun at all! But I'm much MUCH better now.
DeleteI hope nobody asked me to say Grace
ReplyDeleteCould be interesting :)
DeleteI am sorry about your back pain- hope you feel better soon. I love This is Us, it is so well done. Great funnies, I needed a chuckle. Have a nice week! XO
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you enjoyed! We all need a laugh now and again. It's good for us. xo
DeleteYour viewing habits are much more refined than mine. I'm impressed! Sorry about your back, the older we get the more these things just happen for now apparent reason! We are in our own lockdown as the virus is raging in our area. Thanks for the funnies!
ReplyDeleteYes, the older we get the more these things happen! But I'm glad my back is okay now.
DeleteSounds tough where you are. I hope the numbers go down.
