OH MY--I am so sorry for your DD, Sunny. sadly I too would have bought the sharpest knife I could find...But I understand what you are saying completely. I hope she heals quickly. I also hope that GG is completely well now. How are you and your DH ???

Sorry for the northern part of CA, Tina. But I am glad that you and yours are doing ok. I think of you often.

We have another decent day here weather wise. "THEY" say it will be back to winter weather here this weekend, but then back in the 50'd next week. Soon we will all be sick in bed here as well. This constant changing weather is NOT a good thing.

I will be soon off to run a few errands. It is always something it seems.

Junie, did you post a picture of your new mixer. Years ago I had a stand mixer and gave it away because I wanted to declutter. Then a few years ago I bought myself one for Christmas. Nice to have when you need it.

Sunny, I did the same thing when I got a sharp knife. Wonder if we're hitting our fingers with the old dull ones without realizing it but when we do it when the sharp ones it's an injury. Ouch.

It's almost 11:00 and I'm sitting here in my jammies having done nothing. Got to get in the shower.

Yes..it is 10 after 10 here and I too am, in my jammies w/ my 2nd cup of coffee.

NO I did not post a photo of the mixer..my camera is at Valarie's...I am assuming that Sunny looked it up online.

I got the willow Blue Artesian Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer.

Hi all.

GG seems to be better and I am on the mend. DH is another story....working while sick takes a toll on a person.

There is no school today...meetings of some sort. We will head up to town so I can give grandboy a bath...I would have taken him here but we can't chance him getting sick. DD gets her stitches out Wednesday.

The weather has been milder, it is calling for freezing rain tomorrow...and snow for Sunday. Time to run errands today.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning. I am glad you are better, Sunny. And sorry your DH is not so much. Yes, get your errands done before the foul weather.
I need to do that too. It is supposed to rain again on Sunday. I will need more eggs, milk and bread and some fruit and veggies in. We are so easy to feed.
I hope everyone has a good Friday.

I looked it up and it's very pretty. The Pioneer Woman has a flowered or paisley one. I've never seen anything other than black, red, chrome in my stores. Did you have to special order the willow blue? I'd love a colored one.

Good Morning. coffee

It is good to see all of you do your errands while "the sun shines" so to speak. I was beginning to think it was just me who did not like to go out in foul weather.

Sunny, you are so good to help your DD. I am sure it makes her feel good to not have to worry about bath time.

Thanks, Sheri. Yes, I did have to special order the mixer. They had them at Kohl's and at Penney's but only certain colors. To get a true choice of colors one has to go to say, The Kitchen Aid web site, or Kohl's or Penney's site (I am sure amazon has them too).

While my first thought was to order from Kitchen aid direct....I had decided to wait until I got a 30% off coupon from Kohl's, and then order from there. That move save me a LOT of money. to order from Kitchen aid, I would have been charged around $100.00 more dollars than from Kohl's, plus I got a good amount more off with my 30% coupon.

I need to clean house today...why is that job never done why LOL

Good morning. I am cold. It is cooler than I like it. They are calling for showers on Sunday for the Oscar's but lighter than they were. So that is good. We are out of the extreme drought but still in a moderate one. We'll still need to watch our water consumption. I wish I had the energy to give my yard the attention it needs. But it is what it is.
Today I think it will be laundry and some hair cutting. Got to get the hair out of my son's eyes.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Hi all.

I plan to cut my own hair tonight as well Tina, great minds think alike.

I can't believe you used your mixer already Junie....it is too pretty to get dirty lol

I have laundry and baking to tackle today. The roads are too slippery to venture anywhere. It is strange how the weather can jump from minus 34 to plus 34 in a few days. No wonder everyone in the area is sick.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Well, We are home from the party--and have eaten supper.

Well, Sunny, I had to use my new mixer to make sure it was in working order before I sent in the warranty & such.
Plus it looked to have Rod see that I had used it. AND funny story----The instructions say that one is not supposed to use soap when cleaning it..so a wet rag is all I will be able to use on the Mixer proper....

There must be quite a few dirty mixers out there if one followed that advice.

We are covered in ice....I am amazed we still have power. What a mess out there...I plan to hide in my house like a hermit lol

Good morning. I like hermits. They bother no one at all as little as possible. I do not like ice, however. Stay safe, Sunny.
I am waiting on the rain. Until then I have plenty to do.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Take care in the ice, Sunny. I too hate ice.

Also, it is the mixer proper that they do not want you to use soap on.
The beaters, bowl & spatter guard are to be washed with soap.
I even think that the stainless steel bowl can go in a dishwasher, not that I will do that.

WE have had a quiet lazy day here.

I have a hard time not thinking it's a new month yet.
Good morning. Happy Monday. It's cool again and may rain. But I might go out anyway for a couple of things. And maybe gas up my car. Mondays are like that for me and make me want to move.
I hope everyone has a good day.

It's raining outdoors. I did go out this morning and got sprinkled on but no real rain. I've got real rain tonight.
I hope it clears up tomorrow and I can get other errands run.

well I had to argue with a little girl that works in the customer service area of my medical insurance----BUT after an hour I found out what I was missing so now it is a waiting game for me to get what paperwork that I was missing. One more job done. thumbup

The dishwasher is running and now if I can talk myself into doing the hand-washed dishes it would all be good.

Good morning. It's chilly out but is to be the last cold day . And then we warm up for a few. I'm looking forward to the warm. Looks like March is coming in like a lamb this year.
I hope everyone has a great Mardi Gras.

Hi all.

I just sent DH to deal with the vehicle insurance. We have never had an accident or even a ticket yet they raised it over $200 again.....I am so fed up with the way things increase for no apparent reason. I was getting nowhere with phone inquiries...and I have zero patience for their excuses. Time for him to deal with it thumbup

O.k. rant over lol ~~~Laundry to tackle today...and a mess of tape residue from Grandgirl taping things everywhere.

Junie my mixer instructions say not to put anything except the bowel in the dish washer and to only wipe down the appliance itself. It doesn't mention no soap but "wipe down" makes me think it means no soap.

Johnny has been subpoenaed to court because the of the drunk driver who hit him. So it's not enough that he's been inconvenienced in not having his car and having to go to the doctor because of this drunk guy, now he has to take his personal time and go to court. Just doesn't seem right.

I am so sorry for Johnny, Sheri. I hope his time in court is short and good for him. And no, it doe snot seem right to me either.

My instructions do not mention "no soap expressly, it just says to wipe it...so I took it to mean no soap...still seems odd...but oh well I will do as it says.

back from ceramics......now to make supper.

I do wipe mine down with a soapy rag, Carol. Just don't use a very wet one because I don't want a lot of water in the works. I also keep it covered in plastic when not in use, for both moisture and dust.

Thanks Tina. I am thinking of having the kids buy me a cover for a gift. (the next time they ask me)
But a bag in the mean time would be a great idea..thanks so much for the idea.
And of course you are right--it should be protected.

There is storm and tornado watch warnings for her for most or all of the night......YAY....NOT !!!
