I think aprons are awesome, and I am really excited to participate in this exchange. I love my cooking aprons, and find them incredibly useful. My husband, on the other hand, scoffs at them and says all he needs to cook is a beer, a grill, and tongs. One of us is right, and it's not him. He does make a VERY tasty steak, though - it's probably the best one in Texas! *

Our neighborhood has a central mail drop (which makes it easy for our USPS carrier), so when our mailman has to hand deliver things, (we think) he throws them as hard as he can from the street. We baked him cookies for Christmas, but I don't think it helps much. Fortunately, the apron is soft and squishy and doesn't have any breakable parts, so it arrived unscathed.

When we brought the package inside, the dogs dutifully inspected it for bacon. Finding none, they wandered off, completely disinterested. If it's not a meat product or a stuffed toy, they don't care about it at all.

We are in the middle of remodeling our house, room by room. Right now, I'm working on the guest bathroom, so I asked for a DIY apron so I could have plenty of pocket space. The apron is a very cute pink, with Damask print. It has a huge pocket up front, which will hold our paintbrushes, tape, and other things as we work on our house. Since it doesn't have a sports team, beer, or car on it (and it's hot pink), my husband will leave it alone. He has a habit of using aprons and dishtowels as his personal napkin. Not this time!

Thank you for our apron, lisa831! It'll get plenty of use around the house :)
