The Difference Between Dan & I

Well, there are many... but here is just one example from today: 

I told Dan last week that I was thinking about buying a sewing machine. A friend of mine has one and she inspired me into realizing that they are not lame as I previously thought. This excited Dan a lot as he has been trying to get me to buy one since we moved into our house. Why? Who knows. 


He once bought me a learn-how-to-knit kit too. But, guess who ended up teaching himself how to knit? That's right, my manly husband. Except that he couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, as soon as I told him that I was now considering a sewing machine he started researching them. I knew he would, but this is the machine that he found and wants to buy.

This is not exactly what I had in mind... 

It is ancient.

No, seriously, if you google this sewing machine this is one of the first photos found. Maybe he's trying to tell me something?

Tonight, in hopes of really "closing the deal" in his attempt to win me over, he shared with me this YouTube video. The man was seriously giggling with delight as we watched this video. The foot pumping? Yep, that's his favorite part.
