Now that is some SERIOUS funny! The kind of funny that tomorrow when the work day turns sour and my two young boys turn lunatic when I get hom and I am dredging my way through the dishes, I will recall this pitch perfect letter to the patron saint of all things unnecessary and laugh till I cry and then be refreshed in time to wrassle my two crazed children to bed with good humor! Thank you for calling out Martha, thank you for calling out K-Mart. What IS IT WITH THAT PLACE? A universal truth acknowledged by someone else is a comforting thing – that place is just dang depressing these days (and there are NEVER any check out clerks – ever!)

Signed, “so glad I stumbled onto your page – will definitely visit again soon!”

so having is not so great as wanting? Did you really send that in to Martha Stewart? She sure has plenty of time to think of one million and one ways to waste your time on little projects. She lost me sewing ribbons on the edges of pillow cases, give me a break.

Yeah she can turn on the funny when she wants too, but I sure as hell would not want to cross her.

Is that your actual entry?!?!?! OH MY GOSH! If you actually submitted that I will bow down at your feet as I roll around laughing on the ground. That cracked me up. Shoot, I’m rolling around laughing without even knowing if you actually submitted that. That is hysterical.

I have always thought Martha was kind of stiff and stern too but have you checked her out on those Macy commercials. Lots of personality especially when she is listening to Santana and checking out the hot guy.

You will SO win. Martha will take pity on you for the Country Doctors not giving into you sooner with the whole house thing. And she’ll pity your delusions of Nancy Drew grandeur..and you’ll win. But what you said about needing dreams. I think you’re right. And even if Martha doesn’t pick you, you’ll always be the winner, really.

You get my vote. Martha is asking for our votes, isn’t she? Back to tiling my pond with a cut up credit card mosaic now!

I'm still trying to come up with a dream, so as of right now you are winning the contest I think.

Some time ago you told me about Knock-out roses. I just planted 5 of them. We'll see how long it takes for them to die.

See what I mean about the dream thing?

I, too, turned away from a life of crime at age 6 after I stole a pack of lifesaver’s mints from Walgreen’s. I tried to pass off my minty fresh breath as just brushed teeth. My mom was not fooled. She took me back to the store to tell the manager what I had done AND pay for them (.25) from my own money. (I did not get to keep the rest of the package) Maybe you wouldn’t have stolen the second time if you had to pay the first time. It was a very tramatic experience!
I thought about entering the contest, but I want you to win. I wouldn’t want to take that away from you! Haha!
