thank you hubby UPDATED

Earlier this month {last week, actually} my husband was watching television when I walked into the room.  This in and of itself is not unusual but the channel he was watching definitely was.  My dear husband was watching HSN.  Yep, the Home Shopping Network.  He was watching the demo of this {pictured} computerized sewing machine.

I sit down next to him and listen intently to the host and expert regale the show's viewers with all of the machine's features.  During a commercial break, he asked me if this machine looked like something that I'd like for my birthday.  Yep, the big 4-0 is in April.  He said that he would purchase it if I did.

Heck yeah!

Of course, the machine was a Today Special Value and thus available at a special price for a very limited time.  Now, I await the arrival of this nifty machine sometime this week.
