A New Vacuum


Yes I'm excited. DH got me a new vacuum. Why the excitement? I'm OCD with my vacuum. If i could I'd have it permanently attached to me when i walk from room to room. Ask DH and he probably says it seems it is permanently attached. I haven't seen it yet but I sent him to the city with the two i have. They are Rikars, the pimp daddy of all vacuums! The Cadillac baby. Probably would have never gotten the first one i got had i had kids back then. Then a couple months ago I got a used one. That think SUCKS and i don't mean that literally. I have hated it from the first use. So i sent that one back with DH and the guy offered to give me $200, what i paid for it, off towards a 'new' one. My other one, the downstairs one, needed to have a tune up. BIG time!! They always ask me if i vacuum my driveway with it. I said tell him i used it at a min 1-2 times PER day! The cord was just worn out on it, the wheels had broken (well the metal piece that holds them together of which i taped together) and lets see....i think the cord was the big thing. I'm lucky i never got electrocuted!

DH called and said he got me a new one. I'm not even going to ask how much it was/is. I don't need to know b/c I'll have a flippin cow. Right now, and for once, I'm going to revel in it and just relax, i deserve it right!? I have a feeling tho it's going to come with some rules....I think they'll be:
No using it while DH is home
It has to be put away after every use
You may think those should be no problem. Well if i don't vacuum first thing in the AM i go insane and it's part of our decoration to have it out all the time. My BFF says i just don't think twice any more about seeing a vacuum out at your house....its just always there...it's part of who you are:)

So yeah I'll post pics as soon as i see it:) Can you believe i have an entire post about a VACUUM!! See they are very important to me!

Oh on the political front....disappointed in Huckabees 3rd finish but it was what was expected. I have some more thoughts on the entire Hillary and Obama deal that i will post another time. Very interesting, and scary!

Tell me, if anything, are you obsessive about? Can't do anything else till you do this one thing???
