We gained a very valuable addition to our household this weekend. Our old vacuum has become more of a tool for pushing the lint around the carpet, causing great frustration, than for actual vacuuming. I have pushed the vacuum back and forth one, two, three, four,... I'm sure it will work this time, five, arg! Only to admit defeat and crawl around the apartment with my lint roller, painsakingly going one foot at a time then unwinding the spent sticky-paper. But those days are now gone. Thank Heaven.
We stopped into Bed Bath & Beyond in the hopes of finding a vacuum that would work and not break the budget. We had researched them online and it seemed that those two goals were mutually exclusive. Not to mention that some of the vacuums out there are just plain ugly and I didn't want to get them no matter how cheap they were. We were blessed to find a vacuum that not only works and isn't too expensive but isn't ugly. And there was much rejoicing.
Upon exiting the store we were skipping with joy in anticipation when we noted a flock of seagulls loitering in the parking lot. Then we got an idea! An awful idea! THE GRINCHes GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be that our heads weren't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that our shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all is that we had ... no reason at all.
