I have a decision to make, and it's not an easy one. Part of me thinks that if I read about someone else struggling with this same issue somewhere, I would probably say they have way to much time on their hands. So before you comment, realize I understand that this may not be the most important decision for some. However, it has been a struggle for me. My issue?
What color to get for my Kitchen Aid mixer? They don't break. So whatever I pick, I am going to have for a LONG time. I have a small one now, that I have had for almost twenty years. It's never given me any trouble, but I have always wanted a bigger one. (Who doesn't?) Rodney made the suggestion (with birthday right around the corner), why not replace it. I could give the smaller one to my mother who doesn't have a mixer and wants one, and I could get the larger one that I have been wanting. I have thought and thought and thought about it. I have looked at every color possible and find it one of the hardest thing to commit to. I think, I could pick a wall color for every room in the house without any problem, but decide on the color of a new mixer and I'm completely stumped. You have to remember, it's not going to break. If I decide in a few years that I'm not really crazy about the tangerine or pistachio mixer anymore, I'm stuck with it.
The color of my current mixer?
Cobalt blue.
I do like it, but I feel like now is my chance to do something different. I just never imagined I would be so stumped by what should be a simple choice. Maybe if I had picked the first one I might be more inclined to stick with the same color, but it was a gift a very long time ago. Of course there's a story to go with the gift, but not necessarily one we need to get in to right now. So now is my chance to pick the color that best represents me. But what is it? What am I? Am I Empire Red, or maybe I'm Pear or Boysenberry?
Maybe I'll just go pick a color to paint the bathroom.
