Well, I did it. I got the mixer. You all talked me into it. Got it for a
good price, too- $226. Yay! I almost went crazy and got the red, but I
stuck with the chrome. Looks perfect in my kitchen.

Now, however, I *need* the food processor. More than I did earlier today.
I can't explain it, but now that I have one, I need them both. I'm
actually pretty interested in the kitchenaid FP, now that I've done a little
research.......
