SUCKERS!

No, I never knew a vacuum would be so desired in my life. Never did I think my request for Christmas would be for a vacuum. If you told me 15 years ago I would wonder how my life could have ended up dull enough to want a vacuum so bad. But folks, my life is not dull. I love it. BUT, I did want a vacuum for Christmas. An Oreck to be exact.

My friend Lisa introduced me to it on fine play-date day. I was captivated by it’s power teamed with its MERE 8 LBS weight. The low profile that allowed it to slip under couches and under cabinet ledges. It seemed so easy. So much easier than mine.

I have some great vacuums so that is where the confusion came in for the Husband. My parents passed on a Rainbow to me that is absolutely excellent. But it also isn’t the type of thing I have time to pull out after every meal when the kids have totally crumified the kitchen floors. And my hoover isn’t horrible. It just really does not excel on my wood floors.

So my sweet husband took a trip to the vacuum store only to find out the top of the line of what I wanted was close to $800. Yikes. Needless to say, I was informed that it would not be a gift under the tree this year.

I did however get money from a couple of different people, and there is always ebay

I bid (and won!) A refurbished Oreck that looks absolutely brand new. It came today!!! You should see my floors Finger lickin’ good.
