KitchenAid Stand Mixer (aka !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I've never been so delighted in all my life!!!! Is that true? I don't know, but I'm really happy and excited! I took the plunge (encouraged by the opportunity to save $90) and bought a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Eek!!!!! I'm giddy. Even now, days later I'm still full of excitement. I'm such a dork. And I don't care who knows it!!!! Whew, the joy of the mixer is making my use of exclamation points out of control. I could dance around my house right now from my joy. It almost feels as good as passing nursing boards. Well, the excitement feels close to the same. There is no comparison to the relief and disbelief that you're officially a nurse and never have to face the NCLEX again. Okay, now that I'm thinking about it, they're not really the same at all.

Let's get back to the mixer:


Hello! I love you already! We're going to make delicious things over the next 35 years. Prepare yourself.


First peek!


It's official. I'm too excited.



This next photo is not about the mixer. Look at the bowl. Do you see my legs? In the black pants?



Okay, let's just talk for a minute about the fact that these are supposed to be cropped yoga pants according to the description in the catalog. As in, some skin should be exposed. On the model they hit a good 4 inches higher. On me, they graze my ankles. The moral of the story: Oy vey.
