When I moved, my mom mentioned she didn't have a vacuum at the house in Idaho.  What's that?  Sure!  I don't need a vacuum!  Take mine!
So I was stuck without a vacuum, which I suppose is all right until the floor starts to feel yucky.
I went to Target yesterday to buy a new vacuum.  I just wanted to get something that wasn't going to be too expensive that would last me a couple years.
But Target sells Dysons.
Of course, I have seen the commercials with the British guy.  "The only vacuum cleaner that doesn't lose suction."  I even had a pamphlet that told me all about it.
But they're pricey.  You have to really want a vacuum.
I was standing at the back of the store, trying to decide if I should really spring that much money for a vacuum, when I saw it.  A pink one.  $40 goes to breast cancer research.  I thought, "well, why not?  $40 going to a good cause, I can justify spending that much for a vacuum cleaner."  Talk about great marketing.  A girl will buy almost anything if it's pink.
When I got to the checkout stand it was about $80 less than what I thought it was going to be.  Yay!
Putting it together was a bit of a challenge, and I haven't used it yet (I know!), but I have high hopes.
Now you know what I'll be doing in my apartment tonight.

My boss just gave me a Royal vac before he left for the winter. It is just like the ones we used to use when I worked at a motel, except it has a bright blue bag and hose. It's like a Kirby. All metal. A very rad vac. I'm happy to get it.
That sounds kind of retro!
I wouldn't mind having an all metal vaccuum - they probably last longer.
