Day 286: The Martha compliment?

I got quite a shock today when one of our paying sponsors on the show told me I looked like Martha Stewart.

What? I was completely stunned. Normally I would have given a quick witted response back, like 'what? I look like a 60 year old woman?' but since it was a guest that was paying to come on the show I decided it was best to keep my mouth shut. So I ended up just standing there like an idiot with nothing to say.

Part of the reason is that I couldn't be further from a Martha Stewart type person.

She is crafty... I am not. She is domesticated... I am not. And the list goes on and on.

I also just didn't understand where the comment was coming from... all I know of Martha Stewart is the domestic diva that graces our tv station Monday - Friday.

Little did I know that Martha was a model earlier in her life. When they pointed that out I felt a little better about the situation. At least I wasn't being compared to a 60 year old woman.

When I got back to my desk I googled pictures of Martha and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. What started out as a not so great compliment ended up being quite flattering.

It's kind of how I've been feeling about most of my dating recently. I'm not sure exactly how to take what's going on with any of the guys.

Either they are young and think I'm young which is a compliment, or they think its cool to date an older woman which is not so much a compliment.

Or the other way around Starbucks was older and probably thought he was hooking a young chick, but in reality I'm not.

Maybe it's time to hit the online dating world... again. It is how I met Mr. Wonderful, but I have my doubts that lightning will strike twice.

I have heard quite a few commercials for online dating sites.... match.com, eharmony, chemistry, millionairematch, you name it there's a site for it.

The problem is finding the right one, and the energy to write the profile and post the pictures.

When I was talking with the Cheerleader about it one day, she suggested getting a group of friends together with a few bottles of wine and compiling it together.

I think it sounds like a good idea, especially because they know me better than I know myself. Although that scares me a little bit too!

And... I suppose I could always use pictures of Martha when she was young on my profile!
