Reason #235 why I will never be Martha Stewart:

I have no patience for detail. I'm a slacker at heart. I didn't realize this until Darren pointed it out to me last week. I just do the minimum amount of work to get the desired results. Does this mean that I will never "live up to my full potential"? Probably. It's just odd realizing that I'm not as ambitious or driven as I would have liked to believe. Or maybe I'm just in a lazy mood and need to waken the workaholic buried deep within... Who knows.

In the meantime I will continue to make cookies instead of cakes, because they don't have to be frosted to look pretty. I will shop at Ikea because I'd leave more involved decorating projects half finished. I will live with the fact that my Christmas tree is leaning at a precarious angle, because I really don't know what else to do about it.
