I got a new KA today, and I'm afraid to use it! It's so pretty and shiny, and I don't want to get it dirty or mess it up. It is a 5qt. professional, and my other one is an old classic 4.5 qt. The new one is just so pretty, and Soooo much bigger than the other one.
Yep! It's a fact...You ARE crazy!
Just teasin' ya! I did the exact same thing. It's like getting a new car, isn't it??
Congrats!
mkerton, my mom bought me a KA for my bridal shower. I acted like it was awesome but I was really thinking "what am I going to do with this thing" It took me a LONG time to use it (way over a year) now I can't go a week with out it being used and I swear the poor girls motor is going to burn out from me using it so much 
I love my KA!
Shoot-a-mighty, Y'all!
You're not crazy. I talk to mine, and she has a name!
I talk to her as I bathe her...my DH is calling the health professionals to have me carted off!
I feel your angst over getting her "dirty."
Just talk to her as you bathe her, though. It seems to help...

LOL you guys are cracking me up.....glad to hear I am not alone! Yeah my Mom also bought me mine (she had an ulterior motive wanted me to take over making her cinn rolls--but nope mine are not as good as hers).......my Mom is just happy I am finally using it!
I talk to my KA too! my kids even like to wipe her down with a cloth, my DH says I'm making them as crazy as me. Mine is the almond color since my mom liked the color and she bought it for me. I really want to add another one in a color I could choose, like black or some funky color, but it has to look good with my almond one since it will be her mate for life. 
I hear you but there is nothing more satisfying than watching powdered sugar swirl up in that shiny silver bowl or seeing cake batter as it splashes around. When I am done with a project, I look over at my splattered KA, which looks no worse than my kitchen, or ME for that matter, and I feel proud. I know we did something good together.
I'm dying laughing reading this....as I thought I was the only one to talk to my KA (her name is Beth) while cleaning her up! I was horrified tonight when I pulled her cover off to discover my daughter (age 16) had used her and NOT cleaned her off before storing her! OMG!
WE'RE ALL CRAZY....CRAZY IN LOVE WITH OUR KA'S!
I totally understand. 3 years ago my DH bought me my first KA, a artisan, and paid WAYYY to much for him, poor guy doesnt know a good deal when it bites him. Anyway, Black Beauty and I are in love, I buff her like a car. place of honor on my otherwise barren counters.
I think I have you all beat. I sent out birth announcements via e-mail for mine (her name is Mixxy)!!!
thats a great name. not too sure about the emial though.
I know it was a bit much,but I was really excited.
I could understand if it was a bunch of Cakers that would understand the bond and love and reason for the birth announcement or close friends that understand the love of a KA lol but for some people that wouldn't get it they probably were ready to commit ya 
Congrats all of you on your KA's I'll be settleing for a Cook's mixer in a few weeks it's more watts for the price of the cheapest KA and is higher watts then the most expencive so I'll settle for that and hope one day I can get me a KA lol
