Birthday Reveal

I had quite a few requests to find out what was in the box. It was this beautiful, made-in-America sweatshirt from American Giant (aka "the greatest hoodie ever made").

It's the most flattering hoodie I have worn. This means I will feel less guilty about wearing it every single day this winter. I'll just pop the cute little hood over my unwashed hair and carry on like I'm a super model. 

Also, I would never in a million years have purchased a sweatshirt that costs $89.00. This is why my husband has to wait for special occasions to buy me nice things. My only non-clearance, non-goodwill, non-borrowed-from-a-friend clothes have been gifts.

But that wasn't all. He bought me a new dyson. The one we got as a wedding gift was barely alive and we had been talking about trading her in. The attachment tube ripped, so we could only use it for vacuuming the floor. That just doesn't cut it with an old, dusty house.

Ahem, you may be thinking that a gift like a dyson is too practical or perhaps too sexist? Would it change your thinking to know that my husband cleaned the house top-to-bottom as a hint at the gift. What if I told you that he is the primary house cleaner in our relationship. What do you think now? Not a bad gift, eh? 

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
