Cuisinart 9 Speed Hand Mixer for Mother's Day!
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want!
I have an announcement to make! The kids that I spawned are good kids after all! What started out as a tease by me was taken very seriously by my kids, well three out of four of them anyway. You might remember my post with me singing the Spice Girls Wannabe song ~ "Yo! I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want"? Not only did they and all their friends see the post, all of my peeps here saw the post and then it was plastered all over the internet by TasteSpotting! I got over 500 hits on my blog that day!
The box came in the mail on Wednesday. John was supposed to keep it quiet until Mother's Day but he knew I was working so hard trying to get some articles written, that he showed it to me when he got home. I nearly bust a seam when I read the card inside, "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! LOVE, THE KIDS YOU SPAWNED!" This mixer came from Williams-Sonoma! I wonder if the folks at WS had as big a laugh as I did!
Look at those dough hooks!
So, I'm here to publicly proclaim that my kids do adore their wacky, nut-job mother. So much so, that they thought enough to send the very best. Thank You Kerri, Erika and John, I'll love you forever!
I decided that I liked the looks of the Cuisinart 9 speed Professional Hand Mixer way more than the KitchenAid. It's got a futuristic sci-fi look to it. Kind of like a robot with whisks attached to it! AND, it came with two beaters, a whisk, spatula and dough hooks! What hand-held job comes with dough hooks?
The moral of the story? If you tell your kids what you really, really want, don't stop there. Plaster it all over the web via your blog, TasteSpotting and anything else you can think of! Tell their friends, send forwards to relatives. Do some shameless advertising. In the end, you'll get what you want, what you really, really want! You deserve it. You know you do!
Well, good for you! I'm so glad you got what you really, really wanted! :o)

Happy Mother's Day Donna! That mixer looks like it could do no wrong. I am also anxious to see your future baking creations. What wonderful kids you have!
Because of your post I was also inspired to ask my my family what I really, really wanted and I got! Thanks Donna!

Well, congrats to you!! I'm glad your shameless ploys worked out! You didn't mention getting two of them, though, so I'm guessing I won't have to be checking my mailbox anytime soon. lol
I can't keep up with all the fun stuff in blogland like I'd like to, but I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your blog -- your recipes, your pics, and your sense of humor keep me coming back whenever I can find the time. tfs!
