Default I’m screwed aren’t I?

My better half just let me know she received a text about a package that needed to be signed for at the Post office. She’s excited about it because of Valentine’s Day approaching... It’s a Solix 15 that I didn’t mention buying after surfing the web while drinking a little bit ago. Anyone know of something similar in weight and dimension that could save me from impending death?

It needs to sparkle and the receipt needs to have several zeros in it.

Bling that "bad Girl" up with some sparkly stickers and tell her she is the only one on the block with her very own.....then prepare to do some "vacationing" on your couch.

Kitchen aide mixers are shiny right?

Good luck.

I always run the idea by her first. Not for permission but to judge the reaction. Then I know what it will really cost.

Seriously, you might have jokingly hit on a good solution. Could she use a KitchenAid mixer? It WOULD be about the right size, and there are some pretty nice ones out there. Think about what color would best go with the kitchen and its other implements, hunt that down, and make sure it has whatever features and accessories you think she might like. Don't skimp!

Couldn't hurt to hide a pretty, expensive bauble in it, too. That would cover all bases.

Congratulations on the new sonar unit!

Yep, buy her something to make you food with. That's the exact move I would make. Hahahahah. I like it.

Greetings,

I worked many years ago with a young man that gave his wife a waffle iron as a Christmas gift. I'm pretty sure that he did not repeat that mistake with his second wife as they are still married.

Kindest regards...

Regardless of the color of your kitchen, if you're going to buy a KitchenAide mixer, get the meatgrinder and sausage stuffer attachment.

As to color, you should probably get the red one....it'll match her eyes...
