For my birthday, Mom got me a KitchenAid. It’s pretty and easy to clean and it mixes things. I think I love it, despite the stress that was picking out a color. Holy crap, I think that was the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a really long time. Should I go simple, like black or white? Or go with red like everyone else? Or get crazy with the orange? I talked to two friends, in different cities, on the same day; they both said that someday I’ll want my kitchen “matchy, matchy, so keep it simple.” No joke, they both said “matchy, matchy.” Hours of contemplating later, I picked Boysenberry because it was different but still matchable. I guess if my biggest stress is what KitchenAid color I want, I should be counting my blessings.

Thanks, Mom. I love it! And, thanks too for being the bestest Mom in the whole wide world. I baked you some cupcakes for Mother’s Day…you just have to come and get them!
