Did you get the License plate number?

Because my mixer has been in a Horrible accident

A hit and Run too... Oh, No!

Coming home started out well... Bing was in the Kitchen waiting

for me. As if he knew how excited I was about my new mixer!

I've been Excited to come home all day since he called this

morning to tell me my new Mixer was delivered. All day I've been

thinking... Will it fit under the cabinet on the Counter, or will I have to

make room for it up here, next to the last anniversary mixer Kitchenaid

put out fifteen years ago? I was so Hoping for the counter!

And, there it was!

Even the Box was pretty!

Ut-oh!

This didn't look good... But I was still Hoping the

damaged box wouldn't equal a Damaged mixer

But it did! Seeing all the chipped Candle-apple red paint

and Crumpled metal was almost too much to take. Kinda reminds

me of the 1968 Candy-apple red VW Bug I was driving the day

that Uninsured 17-year old driver rear-ended me in 1988  

I would have unpacked it Completely to test for under-the-Cabinet

placement, but the bowl is broken too so I can't move it around too much

more, lest I cut myself. It's bad... Even Bing looks devastated by this!

Although I think he's getting

over it more quickly than I am

No, no, Bing! It's not nap-time, we have a Mess to clean up!

Okay! Our poor, Wrecked mixer is back in the box, and Williams-Sonoma

said they will send UPS back tomorrow to pick it up. Looking at the box, I can't

help but think that Perhaps a FRAGILE sticker or three, on the box might have helped

avoid this tragedy! I just called my local Williams-Sonoma store and they are holding

a new mixer for me to Inspect tomorrow. I'm not Risking another home delivery! 

I also received another package today. I found these white,

vintage Fire King cereal bowls through e-Bay last week and just

had to have them. And, look... Not broken! Not these four...

or these Four! All eight bowls arrived in Perfect condition. If only

Williams-Sonoma could have done the same for me and my Mixer today!
