If I ever decide to sell my house, I think I will invest in one and bake bread as buyers are checking out my place. I just love bread so much, I can't imagine being able to bake it. I'd then eat it. All. <br /><br />Your kitten is adorable. I can see why you love all those things.<br />And your electric pencil sharpener. I didn't know anyone else loved them as much as I do. A great thing to be thankful for. I just wish I had created them and received the royalties for every single sale. A girl can dream, can't she?
