The Mixer Saga

For the longest time I have wanted a KitchenAid stand mixer. I yearn for one. I would give my left pinky finger for one. I would sell my nieces for one, but I don't think Jessica would like that (or maybe she would).


Enter my dear friend Pioneer Woman. Ok, so I've never met her, I just read her blog(s). PDub has been holding giveway contests where the prize is a...
wait for it...
KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer!
Oh joy! I have a chance to win one!!
This week, she gave away this one:


But I didn't win. And I have a theory on that.
KitchenAid is against me due to an incident from the 70's involving a certain white KA mixer,
my sister Stephanie and myself.
We were two kids with nothing to do. For some reason we took the aforementioned mixer down to the carport where we had previously gotten white paint on one of the workbenches. I don't know which of us did it, but the mixer ended up sitting in a glob of paint and forgotten for a few hours. The paint dried to the bottom of the mixer. The parents were not happy with us, but Momma still used the mixer.
So I guess I am doomed to life without this:
But a girl can dream....

  1. Oh Liz, I feel your pain. I would love a red Aritisan Kitchen Aid mixer, too. I want it as badly as you say that you do. It such a shame that they are so expensive! *CRIES*

  2. And after Momma downsized, I used it. Alas, the paint on the bottom lasted longer than the mixer. I keep trying to win one from PW too! I have another hand me down, this time from Duane's mom. But I dream of a red one. What color do you dream of?
