when husbands shop online
The doorbell rang yesterday, it was a delivery man dropping off a package. I looked for a box.. he said it was out in the truck.
The "package" was a wooden crate, about 8 feet long, about 600 pounds. (I'm guessing it is not a fishnet stocking leg lamp.)
It's now sitting in our garage, and my husband has a huge smile on his face. Now he just needs about 5 of his friends to come over so they can lift it up.
Anyone want to guess what it is? Here's a hint:
UPDATE: Yes, a garage can be a dangerous thing. Especially if your husband likes tools. The mystery package was a band saw... one made in Italy, because apparently all the ones made in the US are just for amateurs.

You are so funny!! Is this your Christmas gift?

I still can't tell exactly what it is but if it's some sort of wood working machinery I'm sure Jake's going to be salivating and have a new item on HIS wishlist! ***I'm glad I finally saw the button that translated to English because I was trying to spot something recognizeable in Italian from my years of Spanish. :) Looks like SOMEONE is going to have a fun Christmas and maybe all will benefit from this gift?
Looks to me like a woodworking lathe or something? Very interesting.
Wow. I have no idea.
crazy - that site isn't even in english - what on earth could it be? can't wait to find out...

Wow!
Give a man a garage and......
That looks extremely exciting!
maybe it's an italian nanny. let's hope she can cook!
a VESPA!!!
It can be very dangerous to give a husband a garage...
Is it a wood lathe?
No, wait, it's a planer!
I once overheard my husband on the phone arranging delivery of some woodworking machinery say, "I should probably come pick it up. I don't know if you can get your truck here. This is a residence not a commercial building." I'm glad my fabric purchases never result in such logistic issues!
