The KitchenAid Candy Apple Crazy Arrival

I had been tracking my parcel with DHL and it got into Manchester, UK at 5am.  I only live 10 miles outside of Manchester, so I was certain it would come today.  I sat all day on the sofa looking out of the window for the delivery man and I had a hospital appointment at 3pm to have my stitches taken out.

It didn't come =/ So I left for the hospital.

The stitches really hurt when they took them out, which surprised me, but they had been in 3 weeks and 1 day, so I think they had started to irritate. It was 4:30pm be time we drove back from the hospital, it was dark and I was losing hope of getting my mixer today.  As we got to Lowton, my home village, my husband says "KT, there is a DHL van behind us".  At first I thought he was teasing me, but no!  We drove home and so did the DHL van behind us, along with my mixer!  I was so happy I could have kissed the delivery man!

I was dancing on my crutches (well poorly attempting to), Ste had to unpack it for me and take it through to the kitchen.  Where he proceed to install a power point where I wanted it to go.  The first thing that hits you when you see it is the colour, it's so glittery and shiny.
























So, I had two positive things happen today, my stitches out and my KitchenAid delivered.  Now the thing is both of these things represent a path in my story.  My stitches are part of my disability / career halt and the KitchenAid is part of my housewife trial.  Funny that at this point things have come together.

Well here she is, what shall I call her?  Something to do with red, candy apple, KitchenAid, 90...I don't know.  I'm thinking of calling her Stitches, for obvious reasons, well it happened on the same day and my stitches are pretty red and memorable.  Or do you think that is too gory?  I supose if you didn't know about my stitches the name wouldn't seem so bad, as normally stitches is associated with making or fixing something.  Well with the help of my KitchenAid I will be making food and fixing me in the process =)

So the next step is what do I make?  It had to be something quick as my foot was hurting and swelling. Roll on the dinner rolls!
