Really, Martha? Really?

The majority of my college experience was fighting off boredom. My course work was difficult enough, but not too terribly time consuming. I lived with four other girls but they were either studying or hanging out with their boyfriends, so I tried hard to find SOMETHING to do. I wanted so badly to have this booming social life where I only had time to think about what to wear to the next random date or party. When the social calendar never quite filled like I hoped, I sought to pick up new hobbies or learn new skills. One of these skillful hobbies I attempted was painting. I secretly hoped with my first painting I would figure out that I had this crazy, awesome, undiscovered talent. I borrowed a few tubes of acrylic paint and bought a value pack of paint brushes at the craft store. I knew it was my destiny to become a famous painter so I went ahead and purchased four canvases of different sizes. My first painting was decent for a beginner who will never go on to paint another painting, and still hangs in my step-mother's bathroom. Surprised as you might be, I did not end up becoming famous but I was impressed by how well I did with a plan and some limited resources. And you know, I've always done well with limited resources. Having free reign to do or use or be whatever I want is very overwhelming for me. I like restrictions and restraints. I get creative when I have limits. I've started blogs in the past but they lasted only an entry or two. So when I started this blog I tried to find direction through limitations. I needed something to write about. I could do a mommy blog....gross. I could do a craft blog...I'm not that crafty. I could do a blog about my encounters a work...boring. I needed a challenge. One with a definite time frame. This brings to me to the loved and hated Martha Stewart. Flipping through her magazine for the upcoming month an idea hit me. What if for a month I try to be like Martha? Heck she has her monthly schedule outlined at the beginning of of every magazine. WWMD. So that is what I am going to try to do. This will be a way to guide my creativity and provide topics to discuss on the blog. December is crazy as it is, but this year I have an infant AND I am going to try to be like Martha. We'll see if it will last. Yikes! I just glanced at the calendar and it looks like on the 18th I will be hosting an Eggnog party in the afternoon and attending Kevin's birthday dinner that evening. Who the hell is Kevin?
