Stumble It!
I like how my toes are in the bottom of this photo! Not this past Christmas but the one in 2009, the girl was set on getting herself on The Ellen Show. She'd had a few phone calls from one of the show's producers and she was certain she'd be going to Los Angeles to sit on Ellen's couch. The producer asked the girl if she was given a Kitchenaid Mixer, what color would she want? So, of course, the girl assumed she would be getting one. When Christmas rolled around that year I asked her if she wanted a Kitchenaid as her gift from us, and she said, "No, Ellen's going to get me one!"
Fast forward...Ellen did not. The Kitchenaid Mixer above was a gift to me from my mom about five years ago. Before I had a Kitchenaid I managed to burn through about 15 hand mixers and two lesser-quality stand mixers! Having a Kitchenaid changed my life! It was so amazing and made everything so much easier! I loved it and used it practically every day. After five years of continuous use it began to slow down a bit. I decided it was time for an upgrade. I packed it up and gave it to the girl - who is thrilled to have it. She'll use it about once a month so it should serve her well into the next century!
This year I told the mister that I had Valentine's Day all taken care of for him - he was going to get me something shimmery red and it would make him very happy! He had quite the pep in his step as we walked through the mall...until we passed Victoria's Secret...and headed into Macy's. I did point out that it IS red and Shimmery! To test drive my new mixer I made a triple batch of Sugar Cookies (this is the best recipe ever! I promise!)...it worked like a dream!
My plan worked perfectly and once the mister was presented with his own plate of sugar cookies he was happier than a monkey in a banana factory! (It's always good to have a plan, else I would risk another bouquet of plastic roses with fake water droplets from one of Seattle's finest gas stations!)

I'm sure you're sick of reading about this but I need you to vote for me again! The BBQ Ringer in Pennsylvania is ahead of me by more than 100 votes!! Sheesh!
Let's pretend that I know more about BBQ than how to eat it...and let's pretend that I even know HOW to light a grill...and while we're pretending, you should know that IF I don't win this contest I'll be fine...I'll be just fine...oh who am I kidding?!? I'll be dang mad, and darn sad, and I'll be forced to wear a collar of shame!
