The Dream Machine.

On Saturday I shopped with my mother-in-law. We played the game of “Don’t let me buy this” in HomeGoods and Marshall’s before we stepped into Kohl’s.

Kohl’s was having some 2 hour sale, and this bad boy to your left— the KitchenAid Ultra Power stand mixer in Imperial Gray— was on sale for $169.99. This retails for $299.

My mother-in-law, bless her heart, tried to keep me strong. “Um. You’re not old enough for it. Don’t do it.” So I didn’t.

When we got home and I mentioned to my husband that it was on sale really cheap, his eyes bulged. “Why didn’t you buy it?!”

So back to Kohl’s we went— me, driving frantically— and grabbed the last sweet, sweet discounted mixer.

My obsession with this mixer has been almost 10 years in the making. I used to make batches and batches of cookies in my mother’s white Artisan version while my dad happily advised me on their saltiness and texture. I registered and did not receive one for my wedding, and my mom just forgot about me when she gave hers away. Neale, being the primary cook in our house (I’m the baker) has been wanting one forever as well.

And here we are. Neale took it for a spin tonight with pizza dough, and we are pleased to report that it was easy, clean and painless.

I just realized there was a section called ‘the Tumblettes’, apparently ‘featuring’ the women that use tumblr. Funny, I don’t see a section featuring all the males on tumblr.

Who knew that tumblr was designed to be used by guys.

This is a really good point. It’s like it’s as if it’s cute for women to be using it or something. While I’m usually not one to raise a fuss about political correctness, I agree that something about that just ain’t right.

I call shenanigans! Have you looked at any “Top 100 People” tech lists in the last 5 years? The majority are men.

While the phrase “Tumblette” implies small, dainty Tumblrs, ~~I do not agree~~ ~~that~~* it also implies that the majority of Tumblrs are probably men. I think it’s just saying, “Hey, here’s a different way to explore the various blogs on this platform.” As a woman in the tech world, who works with mostly men, I think it’s pretty cool.

*edited to correct my glaring contradiction.
