Oh Martha...

I wonder how many of us secretly long to have some of Martha in our lives...

Yes, I do like to keep up with some Martha Stewart. I mean, have you SEEN all the things she does? (Plus, I'm a sucker for cooking shows. As a small child, I found great entrainment in watching Justin Wilson's cooking show. Here's a link to help you understand)

My mother cannot stand Martha. (I wish you could have heard the emphasis in my voice there. One Christmas, I boxed up a years worth of old Martha Stewart Living magazines as a present for her - at least I thought it was funny.) My Dad always said it was because she was jealous.
Maybe my Dad was on to something. I mean, what has Martha tried that she hasn't succeeded at doing extraordinarily well? (She even did prison well. Geeze.)

I love looking at Martha's Home ideas. (And I just love looking at things that give me ideas for my own home.)
Martha can be inspiring!
But for real - this one made me sick: Time to Trim the Terrace Garden

I'm a happy woman if just the grass in my front yard is cut!
Maybe it will help give me the boost I need to also pull the weeds in my front yard.

- Or -

maybe it will drive me into a funk that is only fixable by a tub of chocolate chip cookie dough frozen yogurt and Justin Wilson re-runs.

We shall see.
