So, here’s a thing.

***

POST EDIT:

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT MARTHA STEWART IS ALREADY IN WALMART STORES. PHASE 2 HAS COMMENCED. HEADING FOR THE HILLS IS ADVISED, ALTHOUGH I DON'T DOUBT GOOGLE'S ABILITY TO FIND YOU THERE, TOO.

***


OK, two things.


1. Thanks for the wedding day advice! I knew you would come through for me, like always. Keep it rolling in.


2. Martha Stewart.


Her paint is now at The Home Depot. And that’s fine, only they’ve ousted Ralph Lauren’s paint line to make room for it. (I know, I know.)


And I didn’t find out about this switch-a-roo until after the fact, when it was too late to go get one of each of Ralphie’s chips (I know, I know).


Le sigh.


I’m also acutely aware that whenever I do decorating-type posts on this blog, no one cares.


But don’t you care that Martha Stewart is slowly taking over the universe? The only places you don’t see her are at Walmart and on the Google logo.


Walmart, Google and Martha Stewart: The deadly combo that will create the tri-opoly that will at once democratize and homogenize everything anyone ever does at any time, ever, forever. They just have a handshake agreement now not to tread into each others’ markets, slowly gobbling up all the competition in their respective areas of expertise, then boom!


What happens when the boom hits, I don’t know, but Google sure knows where you live already and once Walmart buys the government, all your furnishings can be replaced by those of the Martha Stewart variety, tout de suite.


Just watch your back and guard your Thomas-O'Brien-for-Target-loving heart.

I have like at least a dozen Ralph swatches, and I got 5-7 sample sizes of a few different Ralph colors, they are available for you if you ever want to use them and I haven't used them for my mural idea yet. I also have alost a full gallon of Ralph's majentA JEWEL. It's your exact wedding color. Not that there reallly would be any thing wedding esque for you to paint.

I am nowhere close to domesticating my life, but this post made me laugh out loud. Walmart, Google, and Martha are totally tri-opolizing the world. Love it. xo from new zealand, alex

Whoa! You haven't been in the craft section at Wal-mart lately because Martha has taken that over, too! I hate her.

Darcy said...

JMadd, I was just going to say that same thing. Martha + Walmart = Total World Domination (minus Google... and Steve Jobs)

I have noticed that Martha is taking over the world. I also find it interesting that her time in jail didn't doesn't phase anyone.

If only I could totally boycott Wal-Mart and Martha. But, unfortunately I need them both from time to time. Dang the luck.

Google Earth can find you anywhere. I know. I have used those maps!
