DB gave in
After much complains from me and SD, DB finally gave in and bought a new vacuum cleaner, a Dyson Animal DC17.
The first time I saw the Dyson ad on TV was about a year plus ago. I wanted it but told myself that expensive sucker has to wait since we were still trying to restore our credit history. I know DB liked the idea of bagless vacuum (don’t have to worry about buying and changing the bags) and dog hair really bugs the crap outta him.
Our old vacuum, a Hoover Windtunnel, is about 8 years old. The Hoover is good but it is very heavy for me to carry it up and down the stairs. Anyways, who likes to vacuum the stairs. Man, I had doing the stairs.
The Hoover sucks up dog hair but in order to thoroughly do a fine job, I have to vacuum the path a few times. SD said our vacuum sucks to high heaven.
On Friday, I sent DB an email and mentioned we should look into a different vacuum cleaner for upstairs. Since I will be receiving my tuition reimbursement for my previous class this coming paycheck, I told him I will get another vacuum cleaner for upstairs. I didn’t think of getting a Dyson; maybe another Hoover or Bissell. Low and behold, DB said “Let’s get a Dyson and that way we know it’s a good vacuum.”
So we did on Saturday at Sears, his favorite store.
I’m happy with it. That vacuum cleaner rocks. It sucks good :)
It sucks so good it sucked up the threads from the rug and the thread wound around the roller. GD!! Couldn’t believe it.
That’s me…..its something about me using a new toy. At least I got some of it out and the new toy is still working and I’m happy with the results.

Yep, it’s one of those pictures from our trip. Yeah, we don’t mind visiting The Big Sky state again. Their summers are as hot as ours except in the evenings/nights. Free air-conditioner.

For some reason, I always like scenes on trees, mountains, oceans – you know nature.
