Stupid Martha

Do you know what I love? I love those little individually wrapped squares of Dove dark chocolate. You know the ones? And they have such nice little sayings on the inside of the wrapper. I especially love them during the holidays cause the wrapper message is all holiday-ish and it's so nice. Do you know what I hate? I hate that I bought a bag of those delicious and wonderful little treats, not only cause I love the candy but also cause I love the message on the inside of the wrapper, I got them home and carefully opened one to enjoy and on the inside of the wrapper was a stupid message from Martha Stewart! Stupid Martha! I didn't notice when I bought them that they are the special Martha Stewarts tips for making the holidays better type of Dove dark chocolates. Now instead of reading something like "Have a wonderful holiday season" I have to read something like "wallpaper and fabric remnants make inspired wrapping" or "Tie a sprig of holly to the bedpost in your guest room." Really Martha? Cause I think decorating my wreath with gumdrops will actually attract wild animals to my front door which I don't happen to think is a great idea! Stupid Martha!! I just want my chocolate to say something nice to me, not tell me how to decorate! And what if the chocolates were for guests? Now the guests are going to read the wrappers and know that it wasn't my idea to use a damask runner to create an elegant table setting...oh who am I kidding? I don't even know what a "damask runner" is! Stupid Martha!!

Don't you JUST hate it when someone ruins your holiday treat! I think "stupid martha" whenever I see her anywhere! By the way, a damask runner is for your table or sideboard top - - don't you just hate knowing those kind of things. Love you - A. Becky
