I am overwhelmed today. The day before Mother's Day and I've already been inundated with gifts. It was totally unexpected and completely unnecessary, but my husband has surprised me ... absolutely surprised me.
First, I was impressed that he even knew the name of the perfume I wear ... secondly, I was impressed that he bought me the perfume, powder, and body lotion. I love to layer my perfume, and somehow he paid attention. Kudos to the Lindquist.
The second overwhelming gift would normally be taboo on Mother's Day ... but this time I've made an exception. As you can see from the photo, it's a Dyson. I know Will is looking at it and saying to himself, "It's a freakin' vacuum." Some may think that, but I know there are those out there who KNOW what a Dyson is. I've yearned for one of these things for years ... that is, if one can actually yearn for a vacuum ... and now I have one. When we took it out of the box we did so very gingerly because if it didn't live up to the $500 price tag, we were going to pack it right back up.
Well ... lemme assure all of you. IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. I can move from tile to wood to shag carpet ... back to tile ... all with ease and the same great effect. C L E A N. It is lightweight and very manuverable. I LOVE IT! Having a larger house has been nice, but cleaning nearly 4000 square feet of tile, carpet, and wood ... has NOT been nice. Now ... I look forward to cleaning the tile.
Who'da thunk I'd be excited about a vacuum? I'd expect my sister D.D. to be as excited as I am! I must give her a call!
Happy Mother's Day to all my friends and family!

I know what a Dyson is, thank you. It's the equivalent of a Mercedes in the broom world. Now you can cruise Thomasville in style.
I'm impressed, Mr. Johnson. So ... the big question is ... are you going to buy one for Stacey? She needs one picking up after all those damn boys you impregnated her with ...
;-)
Hell no. I duct taped 2 Hoovers together and they get good mileage.
