Happy Friday everybody! (Click the image above for more information.) This week flew by for me, but I'm glad because I'm excited about a party we're going to Saturday and next week is MY BIRTHDAY. (does a little dance)
When people ask me my favorite holiday I always say "my birthday!" Only the ones that don't know me well reply with "um.. birthdays aren't holidays." That depends on how you celebrate, my friend.
Last year I celebrated with a giveaway. Who knows, perhaps there will be a repeat this year? It was fun to spread the birthday joy!
Before I share my first I have a confession to make. I was in line for the deli, holding my little ticket (number 19 if you were curious) when I spotted it. Head cheese loaf. I walked closer and stared at this fascinating selection, with hunks of all different shapes, colors, and textures, floating suspended in a clear gelatin of sorts. With a determined act of bravery I thought "that's going to be my Friday Firsts this week!" As I waited for the clerk to slice the orders I'd already given her, I leaned in closer for a look at the ingredient list. Oh. Em. Gee. Tongues? Brain? May contain feet??? I guess I expected cheeks, which are good. But what do you want with a name like "head cheese" anyways? (shudders) So I chickened out.
Instead, my first for this week is my new (to me) KitchenAid mixer!!! Last weekend I spotted it in a thrift store for $39 and pounced! It's pretty grimy and I haven't cleaned it yet, so it hasn't been used but still - it's mine! Mine, mine, mine! I never thought I'd own a KitchenAid mixer of my own. Perhaps if I were to get married I could put it on a registry as a long shot, but really, who buys somebody a $400+ wedding gift?Now it's your turn to tell me about your first! To participate in Friday Firsts create a blog post featuring a "first" of yours. Next, link that blog post below and tell us about it!

Incredibly jealous of your stand mixer, and already liked you. Would love you if possible.
That sounded wrong. Sorry. But you know what I mean. ^ ^
holy cow Sophia! haha it's up 15 minutes and you have 3 firsts! Thanks!! :) And your comment cracked me up - out loud. I got a wierd look from J. (not that that's anything new)
Your mixer looks gorgeous - I love vintage things! It reminds me of one my Mom had and it was wonderful.
I have to confess, I would have chickened out on the head cheese too...
Happy Birthday in advance!
Morning Christina!! Have a great day!
Nice stand mixer, Christina! Not everyone can say they got a KitchenAid for $39 ;) And about that head cheese - eww. I'm pretty adventurous, but not THAT adventurous ... :O
I'm so sad I don't have a Friday Firsts this week! In fact, I've been pretty boring for a few weeks now. I'll have to spice things up soon! :)
I can't believe you even thought about buying head cheese...*shudders*
:) Happy Saturday - I'm going to check out that show today!
oh head cheese...I'm not sure what to say about that! But I do know that I'm happy that I found your blog tonight...it is a real treasure. And so is your kitchen aid mixer. What a great deal! I hope you have a great Sunday...I'm looking forward to checking out all those firsts!
