Talk About Bad Timing

Last night while my mom and I were in the midst of making dozens of Christmas cookies...... my Kitchenaid went dead. Why couldn't it have waited until after the holidays? Although it would never be a good time, I use it very regularly!! This is not good. I mixed a batch of cookies by hand for the first time in years last night. I was reminded how lazy I have apparently become because my arm was killing me after just a few minutes. At least my mom was there to help!!
