Alright, first of all, how did I not know this? I’ve been telling everyone I wanted to be Martha Stewart when I grew up since I was 16 and doing event planning and decorating for Kiki’s Candy Bar in Palo Alto (I’m sure somehow that life goal translates to internet marketing). But, even better than The Martha Blog itself is the fact that she’s hosting a blog contest to find other bloggers with interesting content and stories. Of course, as an internet marketer I can see this quite clearly as a ploy to get backlinks and traffic and… damn it Martha, again you beat me with the elegant yet simple solution to a problem that plagues our every day lives (except now it’s not “what on *earth* do I do with all this potpourris I have lying around” it’s “how do I get traffic to my blog.” How times have changed).
In any case, thanks for the tip off from Aunt Wendy, and glad to hear that she is enjoying my blog and thinks it’s worth entering in to Martha’s competition. If you have a blog of your own, you should check it out!
**Just a quick note, last weekend I did go to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Birthday in Hyde Park (ignoring the fact his birthday was in March) and have been trying, without luck, to upload a video before I actually blog about the event. Now that I’m pushing a week since it happen we might have to deal with a video-less recap. We’ll see if YouTube cooperates today.

Was introduced to your blog two days ago and have greatly enjoyed reading through it thus far. You write entertainingly and perceptively about this country whilst subtly your ‘roots’ show through (as they should). Love the video clips too. Only one small comment – I’ve known Ann longer than you have and didn’t recognise the description of her as ‘tidy’ 😉
@Rosemary
Thank you for the lovely comment. But you must be speaking of a different Ann… the one *I* live with is wonderfully tidy 🙂
Then again, after an American university my standards aren’t the highest! 😉
