Fish in My Hair

What, no iPod dock?

I don't know if I can take the pressure.

When I got married, there was this unspoken assumption that I would acquire certain small kitchen appliances. As if that weren't enough, I was supposed to actually know how to use them, and then I was expected to produce real, edible food! Good golly, it's a wonder I didn't have a mental breakdown.

Twenty-one years later, I can say that I've mastered the acquisition part. I'm really good at buying stuff. And I'm usually pretty skilled at figuring out how to use my appliances (as in, how to turn them on and off). It's the food production step that still gives me fits.

Well, now there's another expectation. Apparently it's not enough to have a state-of-the-art mixer and all the attachments. Now I have to bling my mixer, like these folks have done.

But after giving this a little thought, I've decided how to customize my own kitchen. I'm going to put some of that yellow "CAUTION" tape on my oven door. Lord knows I don't need flame decals - I've got the real thing going on.

Lol the second one looks like a bomb. :P

If I had to choose what to put on our oven when I bake something, it'd be one of those Radioactive Material signs.

Kinda like my blog has. xD

Good golly, those people sure take their kitchen appliances seriously!
I think they need to paint one all hippie. Big flowers and peace signs, now that'd be sweet!

When we were married I received three mixers as wedding presents....34 years later I still don't have a kitchen aid!

LOL. I can manage the kitchen fairly well, but I may need to get some of that caution tape for the grill outside. I pretty much leave grilling to Bill, b/c anything I try to fix outside, ends up being burnt offerings.

Blessings,
Lori

Wow, those are some creepy mixers!! I think I'll just stick with my nice little white one that has been in the back of our cabinet for 6 years...LOL. But then, I guess a flaming mixer like that might help me remember that something's in the oven, before it turns into a flaming mess!
