I was debating whether or not it would be wise to divulge such a large part of who I am to you right off the bat. Ultimately, I've decided that there is no possible way you can get to know me without being informed of one of my largest quirks. I am in love with Martha Stewart. She is my absolute idol. Hate me, mock me if you choose, Martha is my obsession and I shall not apologize for that. She's just so saucy! She's very smart, a fantastic business woman (despite the whole jail bit) and she just oozes class. Her ideas, recipes and "Good Thing" tips...the best out there in my opinion. I'll challenge anyone to create work with more elegance and ingenuity in terms of the "domestic arena".
Oh my, please excuse the mini-rant. I get a bit heated when I speak of Martha.
Perhaps many of you know that last week commenced many of the primetime television programs we enjoy throughout the year. Martha Stewart Live was no exception. Monday, September 10th marked the beginning of what Martha promised to be her most exciting season yet. She kicked off the year with a seductive rendezvous involving Usher, champagne cocktails and baking peppered cheese crackers. Come on, I know some of you have broken a sweat by now. True she did wrap up the episode with a detailed explanation of her hip replacement entitled Hip Replacements 101 (not so sexy), yet as over all she started off on a rather enticing note as promised.
I cannot even begin to explain my frustration over the fact the Martha is now shown at 1pm instead of 10am. Let me just note that last year, I meticulously arranged my fall schedule so that I would be able to watch Martha Stewart Live every day. Needless to say I was heartbroken by the time change...there were a few tears. The reason why I mention this is bring your attention to Martha's website! The site is constantly changing and improving. There are so many helpful features. I can literally get wrapped up in it for hours upon hours at a time. What you might not know is that Martha has a video section on her sight on which live shows are posted daily. Yes! Everyday at approximately 6 o'clock pm (I've timed it), the previous day's show is placed online for everyone to enjoy. Although at times I do feel like I'm getting Martha Sloppy Seconds, the video site does create an opportunity for those of us with afternoon class to soak up our Martha time just like everyone else.
For those of you who have stuck with this entry to the end, you now have a little bit of background on my love affair with Martha that I will continue to share throughout the year. While you're online, why not check out Martha's site? I promise she will not disappoint you. For those of you lucky enough to be unoccupied at 1 o'clock pm, put on NBC and enjoy!
