How the hell did it get to be Thursday already?? I�ve probably just been busy with my new friends - both of whom work unbelievably well. In fact, I�m convinced that people without Sonicares have dirty and disgusting teeth and that people without Dysons have dirty and disgusting homes. I�m a domestic engineer (a.k.a. housewife) so I generally have all the time I need to clean, do laundry, bake bread FROM SCRATCH, and whatever else it is I need to do so my house never really gets too dirty. I vacuum at least once a week and yesterday, when Miss Dyson showed up, I took her out of her box and put her together and was all excited to do a test run. However, I thought it would only be fair to the old vacuum if I ran through the house with it first just to see what, if anything, was missed. That�s right people - I voluntarily vacuumed twice yesterday - leave me and my overly domestic self alone. After I was done with the old vacuum I got Miss Dyson ready for a test run. What happened next is not for the weak of stomach so feel free to stop reading this slice now if you are such a person. In an area approximately 3' x 4' Miss Dyson sucked enough shit out of my just-vacuumed-with-the-old-vacuum carpet that surely I could have thrown up. As I looked at the rapidly filling canister I couldn�t help but be grossed out. I was thinking to myself, �hey - I walk here - BAREFOOT!� and other such sentiments. I ended up doing another quick run through just through the middle of the house and holy disgusting gross shit! Just doing that little bit had her canister filled to the �MAX� line. I plan to do a more thorough cleaning today that involves moving the furniture and using some of the cool upholstery tools to clean the furniture itself. All I can say about Brushy is that when he�s done having his way with my teeth they feel cleaner than a professional cleaning at the dentist - go buy one!
In other news, one of the only friends the husband and I have here in this city (that we�re not related to) is moving to another state far away just one week from today. We�re getting together on Saturday afternoon for one last hurrah but I�m pretty sure there will just as much, if not more, sadding as hurrahing... |
