I Don't Heart Martha Anymore




I'm not the most creative guy in the world, or even the country, state, town, block, or house. Every once in awhile I get a creative urge.

I drove Son Sneed to the barbershop this morning and the barber had Martha Stewart on the television, so maybe she inspired me. Except that she was making "fun" decorative headbands for women and girls, so that didn't interest really interest me.

On a side note, have you ever noticed that it is mostly women that call things fun. Women will say things like, "these shoes are so much fun". As a guy I don't get what they mean, unless the shoes are telling jokes or something.

I have to confess that many years ago, I found Martha Stewart strangely attractive. My Uncle Richard was an interior designer in NYC for decades and he ruined my fascination with Martha by telling me that he had worked with her and that she is, (and I am quoting Uncle Richard here, so don't blame me) a royal bitch who didn't treat the little people all that well. So, I said the hell with her.

Anyway, I bought this kind of colorful basket and put four little plants, three coleus and an asparagus fern in it. I think it looks okay and gives a little fall color. By next summer, I will have to re-pot them and will be able to move them outside.

I've heard the same thing about Will Ferrell and Jeremy Piven, but I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

I never hearted Martha but I am strangely attracted to how rude she can be. little tiny rudes, lots of them.
I was raised to be nice no matter what, it is so ingrained...these little petty comments are an art form that Martha has mastered.

I dislike crafts, but I still will watch that royal bitch make little nothings if she has somebody like Hilary Swank on her show.
