Martha Stewart and me

 After watching / listening to the Netflix documentary about Martha Stewart I kind of got on a roll of listening to interviews with Martha, on You Tube.  There are a bunch of them!  They're good!

Have I "mastered the art of French cooking" yet?

No!

Do I love listening to her speak about things?

Yes!

        When I typed a post on here yesterday, I had to laugh because I realized that after listening to a certain amount of Martha, I had sort of taken on some of her style - without thinking about it, I just went ahead and typed here that you should, when making your list of what you're going to do next, "get a legal pad and a good ballpoint pen"

hahaha - without the recent 'Stewart immersion' I would not have said that, I would have just said, 'get paper & pen and make a list.'

        After spending time with Martha, I got specific and a little bit commanding:  "a good ballpoint pen."

In the Netflix documentary, Snoop Dogg said, "I thought it would be an upgrade, for me, just to be in her presence."

I felt a little like that, too.  Like - listening to her, I was learning things and being inspired.

        "just to be in her presence"

        I thought that was kind of a beautiful phrase; I liked it.
