i remember watching martha stewart and all of her delectable ideas when i was in middle school. i secretly wanted to be her. i taught myself how to clean efficiently and even used delectable a few times myself. yet even though i was learning so much from her, i was embarassed that i knew how to properly clean a sink or baking pan. heck i even pretended i was cooking or cleaning on her show and narrated it!!! but i hoped to dear god that no one heard me. why? beacuse i was afraid i’d be seen as a nerd or goody goody. eventually i stopped because i was teased by classmates and family…. now that i’m almost an adult and have become more mature, i’ve realized that it’s okay for me to watch her show and visit her website every day. it’s okay for me to narrate when i cook or clean. and it’s definetly okay for me to strive to be as organized as i want to be. i take pride in my cleaning and hope my home will live up to martha’s standards. she’s a top notch broad. i mean, she’s really smart and knows what she’s doing. and she’s practical. i like that in a role model. so i’ll continue watching her and learning more. and i’ll have darn good fun doing it. also, i hope i can get to the bookstore and get her book too. when i have enough monies that is. that’s all for now, mates ^-^
