I think there should be a law against posting Amazon sales on blogs. And if there were, I would SO be turning Sarah in to the authorities right now.
Against all the rules of logic, decency and good budgeting (when I should be crimping against the eventuality of buying a few little things, like a HOUSE), I am now checking my inbox every five minutes to when THIS:
… is going to ship.
Yes. I just posted a picture of a kitchen appliance that is larger than any posted photo of my son. I am SUCH a paradigm of Martha-Stewart domesticity. Only I picture Martha as the white appliance type. I prefer jet black, or even a racy red. I like to live dangerous like that.
I am rationalizing my moment of impulse-buy indulgence by the fact that the price has gone up $50 overnight since I purchased it. And I still have a $20 rebate to claim. It’s a baaaah-gan.
And if you ask why a family of three needs a food processor with a 12-cup capacity, you will get the same blank stare you would if you asked a balding, paunchy, middle-aged man why he needs a red Corvette convertible.
Because it’s sexy, baby.

Yeah, but how many HP does it have? How many amps does it draw? Come on, where are the numbers?
April 10, 2007 @ 10:11 amThat is a very sexy appliance. Glad I could help!
😀
April 10, 2007 @ 10:25 amWe have something very similar to that….although that one looks much swankier.
April 10, 2007 @ 10:36 amOoooh. It is sexy. Almost sexy enough to coax me into the kitchen. Almost.
April 10, 2007 @ 1:14 pmI’m almost drawn in. But not.
There’s something about being able to afford a week long trip across country to Los Angeles (and Las Vegas) on the way back, that’s giving me the willpower to refuse.
That, for a girl who’s never been further west than Houston, is something.
April 10, 2007 @ 1:23 pmNot that I wasn”t tempted.
April 10, 2007 @ 1:23 pmOk, I think I might have just died a little from envy, RIGHT here and now. If middle-aged men buy sports cars, does that mean I get to buy a sports appliance??
Oh dear. That sounded significantly worse than intended.
April 10, 2007 @ 8:50 pmBecause it enables you to more easily cook in mass quantities and then freeze the food for later consumption. It’s a KitchenAid, they last so long you can give it to Harry for a wedding present. Plus it looks hot sitting on the counter. Need more reasons to justify it? I’ll be glad to help. I have appliance envy.
