Shopping and Watching
I'm trying to enforce some cheer upon myself. I have attempted to spead holiday cheer by getting my Christmas cards sent early. I sent 66 this year. My house is decorated in a festive manner. Sasha is sporting a festive bow (which she LOVES, of course. For a shih tzu owned by a gay man, she sure acts put out. I swear she rolls her eyes at me when I'm putting her in a costume or outfit to celebrate a season or event.)
I've done everything right. So why am I in a funk this year?
Blame Martha. I just miss her bossy, bitchy way of telling me how to be festive! To make matters worse, we no longer have K-Marts in this part of Texas, so I can't even get my spirit on by looking at her custom designed, mass-marketed ornaments and holiday regalia. I'm just Martha-less, and so I don't know how to be festive. I've lost the ability or will to think for myself on matters related to entertaining and celebrating.
Sure, I've tried others: I have visited the HGTV crafts website. I've even spent time at Martha's own website, but it's not the same. I want her to be on my TV, telling me to concentrate on my salad. I don't think I'll ever be alright until then.
FREE MARTHA!!!
I miss Martha too. I even sent her an email, which I never do, because it's like dropping a message into a bottle and throwing it into the sea. But I miss her. She'll be back in March. She won't let them keep her down!
Tim, you might go to the Sinus Christmas show this year, because I think they delight in showing clips from Martha's holiday specials. The year I went, they showed her learning glassblowing (you can imagine the response).
ME TOO. I especially miss her on Letterman. It was fun to watch Dave SWOOON over Martha.
WHAT?!?! No. more. K-Marts. in. Texas??!!
How can I go on?
I was just about to move back, but now maybe I should rethink. Next you'll tell me that, like, there's a Chili's in Fredericksburg.
On the 2nd or 3rd entry in my spanky new blog, I invoked her Martha-ness. It just seemed so natural.
