I opened up a store on cafepress today, mostly because I was bored.  I am selling t-shirts, buttons, and bumper stickers that say "i (club) huckabee" on them.  It was too easy, really.  Anyway, my profit margins are low, so that the prices are also low(ish)... so you should all buy something :)

I got my new Kitchenaid mixer. It is "merengue" colored. That means white for those with limited palettes. Anyway, it works (unlike Kitchenaid #1) extremely well. I am in love ( Read more... )

In order to start my holiday baking, I ordered a Kitchenaid stand mixer on amazon.com yesterday. I was super excited about it! Ask Dan or Mary Ann... it was going to be great. It was this very pretty blue called Juniper Berry and it had a 400 watt motor and all metal gears. I'm a huge nerd, if you didn't figure that out ( Read more... )
