For the last month we have spent much of our time getting our house ready to be listed. It has been a crazy month of painting, fixing, finishing touches, clearing out and just generally being busy around the house. One of the things that did take a back seat to all of our busyness was cleaning. Sad, I know, but somehow it seemed more important that the tile was grouted, the flower beds edged, and the lights be replaced. So needless to say there was a little more dirt and a lot more dog hair in corners and under beds.
The clean-up started in earnest on Friday when Scott came home with......wait for it.....wait for it.....a DYSON!!!! It was nearly an all out fight who was going to use it first, we were both so excited. Our previous vacuum has suffered along with a very annoying, high pitched scream for the past, oh, seven years! And it didn't do much in terms of picking up the dirt.
Scott won out in trying it first but he did satisfy me with a glimpse of the very full canister when he finished the first one square meter of carpet in the basement. Dirt, sand, dog hair and I'm sure some other nasty things were all swirling around in its see through canister. It's a lovely, lovely machine that vacuums carpet, hard floors, and even has a great dusting attachment (no more do I have an excuse for why my shutters are so filthy!). I think we would've slept with it in our room if that wasn't super weird.
So that's it......my latest "Greatest Thing Ever" is a vacuum cleaner. And I don't care if it is weird that I love it that much. It may even get a name one day.
