In my family I have this crazy aunt who insists her carpets have perfectly lined up vacuum marks. She even vacuums on her way out the front door so as not to leave any footprints behind in her perfectly manicured carpet.
I have become that crazy aunt.
Because internets? I GOT A DYSON.
It was a culmination of gifts for surviving law school. my birthday, mother’s day, putting up with Cody and of course my all encompassing awesome.
It feels completely natural to hug it. And I do, regularly.
I need to get a house so I can have more square footage to vacuum. (And no, I’m not kidding.)
Want to be my friend? Come through my front door and throw glitter on the floor. Not only will it give me an excuse to vacuum, can you imagine how awesome glitter would look swiriling through the high impact polycarobonate canister?
NaBloPoMo for May here at moosh in indy has been foiled by my intense love for an appliance that sucks.

Made me smile. What a break from the drudgery of the real world.
Still, I’m thinking that maybe I didn’t get the same attachments for my Dyson that you might have received.

Been lusting after a Dyson for YEARS. Maybe someone will see fit to get the family to team up and make it a birthday present to MEEE.
OR, you can haul it here to GA and vacuum up the skunk hair – she’s shedding.

You can come sweep my carpets! I might even PAY you! I’d love a Dyson but we’re trying to eliminate carpet in our house. So far the first floor is carpet free but there’s still that nasty second floor.

I actually have some glitter I need to get rid of. I was planning on throwing it out, but maybe I’ll just mail it instead. In a booby trapped box that will explode in your living room.

I recently started housecleaning for a lady who has a Dyson. It really does do a great job, but wow, it’s HEAVY! I think her’s is yellow – the pet one? Seriously heavy – not for the frail.

Congratulations on your new arrival – I’m sure you two will be very happy together
I read some ****ty reviews on Dysons a few years back when I bought my current vaccum. Looks like everyone here loves them – maybe I should consider a change? And maybe “accidently” throw the other vaccum down the stairs?

My mom did that thing with the vacuum lines too! And then we werent allowed to walk on it until it was absolutely necessary. Then she got berber carpets and we are all much happier!
For the record, I got a dyson for a wedding gift from my inlaws, and I give it a hug almost every time I use it. They are truly awesome, especially when you have kids or a dog!
