So close, yet…

Friday, May 9th, 2008

The other day, a new visitor to our site asked me, “What ever happened to the Martha Stewart letter?” Well, here’s what happened…

I actually got a letter back… from her publicity department. Telling me to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to this other address. And I thought, what the hell, Martha? I KNOW you have an extensive stationary wardrobe. You’re telling me you can’t front me an envelope? So the letter stayed on my desk at work for a while, and I’m not sure what happened to it.

Meanwhile, the fabulous Becky told me that her mom had a friend who worked with Martha, and she was totally going to get her autograph for me! How amazing is that? Some time went by and I asked Becky about the photo, and she said that she DID have a photo for me… but…


OBVIOUSLY, she must have sent me the photo that Dr. Mrs. Fitz requested. So Dana, do you have MY photo?

Becky is working on getting me a corrected one. But this photo will stay on the fridge for a while. Maybe I’ll gift it later on to someone who makes a donation to The Breast Cancer 3-Day. Or I’ll just send it to Dr. Mrs. Fitz so she can show it off to Caroline.

Meanwhile, I’m thinking of writing her another letter so I can include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Maybe this time the letter will say,

Dear Martha,

You’re the greatest! I wanted to get your name tattooed on my ass, but I worry that when I start popping out kids, your name will look more like MMMMMMAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRTTTTTTTHHHHHHHAAAAAAA. So can I just get your autograph instead? Thanks!

Karen (not Dana)

Things that made me laugh today

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

The name Jamsky came up with for my macbook. Henceforth, it shall be known as Macquille O’Neal.

This post from Kissing Suzy Kolber.

The idea of Martha Stewart making a nativity scene in prison.

And, there you go.

ETA: Had to add this.

Actual letter I wrote today during my lunch hour

Dear Ms. Stewart,

May I call you Martha? You may call me Karen. I must start this letter as many of your fan letters must. For 25 years, I’ve been a huge fan of you and your work. Your creativity and finesse have inspired me since I first saw my mother’s newly purchased copy of Entertaining in 1982. In planning my wedding last year, I purchased all of the available wedding magazines, as most brides do. But only yours was truly helpful, and I thank you and your excellent staff for that!

My husband and I are getting ready to purchase our first home, and I can’t wait to decorate it – full of Martha Stewart products and ideas, of course.  Truly, a life without your Soft Grip Lemon Zester or new set of cookbooks is a life not worth living. My kitchen is where I feel most comfortable, and I look forward to finding inspiration for my next recipe.

Would it be possible to send me an autographed photo that I may put up in my kitchen? Seeing your smiling face would inspire me on those nights when I am cranky from the tolls of the day and tempted to order bad Chinese instead of cooking for my wonderful, often put-upon husband. Indeed, it would be as if you were there to ensure the heavens would smile down upon my oven, figuratively speaking.

Please keep up the excellent work, as I know you will. Your daily show is one of my favorite programs, and certainly much better than anything that oafish dimwit Donald Trump could put on.  Besides, your version of The Apprentice totally kicked ass.

Your sincere fan,

Karen Garrett
