Happy Birthday to me.



Looky what I got! Just don't ask me how much it cost. I'm in love- don't worry 301a, I still appreciate all that you do, with your belt free power and cute little handle that is oh, so convenient. I just love this little 221 circa 1951 too. I'm like the cat lady, but instead of cats I find sewing machines and sneak them home. At least they don't pee on my clothes.
And just so she doesn't feel left out, here's my black 301a.

3. Do you own a gun? No. I lease with an option to buy.

4. Your favorite song? Jim Croce, New York's not my home.

5. Do you get nervous before a doctor's appt.? Not only do I get nervous, but I get strangely compliant too.

6. What do you think of hot dogs? Costco hot dogs are my weakness. So cheap and so good.

11. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? Gee, I would say it's my amazingly thoughtfully designed wedding band that perfectly sums up the love my wonderful partner feels for me but....not only is there no band, there's no marriage. After YEARS of hinting. Apparently when I say, "oh, honey, no piece of paper can define our love..." he thinks I'm being serious!

24. Where would you like to go? Japan. Korea. Berlin. Los Angeles.
