I'm just sayin'.....

First it was the free Hamburger Helper coupon. Then along came my free Swiffer Vac, which Andi loves for all the cat hair that comes along with having 3 cats.

Well, today's story involves my mixer that I used a LOT making cheesecakes. As I was mixing cheesecakes to go on vacation, there was a distinct noise that immediately resulted in nothing happening. Nothing as in - the beaters no longer beat. The motor would whir, but that was it.

It was a Saturday so without much hope I called the company to see where I could take it for repairs. After pushing about 67 buttons, I finally had the information I needed from the helpful automated voice. It told me to mail it to a place about 100 miles from here, so I thought I would just call back on Monday to see if there was someplace closer I could just drop it off.

I called Monday morning and talked to the nicest woman there who told me that there was no sense in sending it off for repairs, she would just ship me a new one that day. All I had to do was cut the cord off of my old one and throw it away. And they did. So I did. When I got home from vacation my brand new mixer was waiting on me to open. The kids were happy because they got the big box it came in to make into a cool bus and I was happy because - well, I had a brand new mixer. Can't beat that with a stick.
