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!

I am so glad you LOVE your new Kitchenaid…it’s one of the best things in the world. I say that color will look fantastic in your new Tuscan kitchen!
Thanks Cindy for getting Kelli this mixer. We will all benefit from her delicious baked goods.
Look to the right. Why does the upside-down triangle with the looking glass and angry teeth represent me? I like Ann Marie’s pink eraser thingy better.
