And in the end…there is love.

Picture if you will…

Posted on Sunday 9 March 2008

I feel like the most random things happen to me. I think I would make a pretty good reality show. Or a sitcom. Except, I’m kind of boring. Except when I’m being an idiot.

An example, you ask? Why, of course.

I just bought a KitchenAid mixer. Which was easily the highlight of the month. Which tells you how sad my life is. The other night, my roomie and I were doing dishes. So she is putting the bowl back on my mixer. And I see her doing this Superwoman turn to get it in there nice and tight. And I remember thinking “Wow, I hope I can get it off.”

Fast forward to Thursday night. I was doing some midnight baking (b/c that’s how I roll). I was falling asleep standing up, but trying to get the kitchen all tidy before heading to bed. And it comes time for me to remove said bowl from said mixer. But it won’t move. Oh no. Not a bit.

I tugged and grunted and swore, to no avail. Finally, I had one foot on the counter, to brace myself, my arms wrapped fully around the slippery mixing bowl, and my cheek pressed against the cool metal mixer. And finally, release!

Oh, but with that release came pain. The pain of my foot flying off the counter. My cheek smashing into the speed lever. My shoulder screaming in agony.

That’s right. I mortally wounded myself on a KitchenAid mixer.

Wouldn’t you watch a show that involved that?

    Brandy! You seriously crack me up! I’m sorry for the injuries. . . you don’t have to tell people that your mixer attacked you. Make up some fantabulous story.
    BTW, congrats on the mixer. I wish you many happy, injury-free baking experiences!

    I don’t need the show (though I would watch it) because I can totally picture it all in my head. This is one of the many things I love so much about you.

    HA!! that’s hilarious, I wish someone’d had a camera. You could then be vlogging instead of just blogging to show us your escapades in live format. I would watch it. A far less funny person sells her MADE UP funny moments for $20 a pop: http://www.happyslip.com
