My life is pretty sad when the highlight of my week is getting a new electric kettle. I've never had one, but my mom does and I have liked using it when I'm there. I consider it a small luxury because, well, a teakettle on the stove works. But I like that it keeps the water hot for quite a while. Like a couple of hours. It was nice making coffee with it this morning, and just now I made some tea.
