Our new vacuum... totally SUCKS!

You can tell that I must be a married lady... I'm writing about vacuum cleaners. Thanks to free shipping, an additional 10% off, Macy's Home Sale, and multiple gift cards, I'm now the proud owner of a new Dyson.

When I first moved to New York City, I remember how much buying my first vacuum made me feel all grown up. That little dinky Eureka upright is now our "backup" and lives downstairs- hopefully it will start to suck again, now that I changed the filter. Even more than buying a condo and becoming a homeowner, it was the simple principle that I OWNED A VACUUM that made me feel like an adult.

But on to more important things! It's like I went from a rusty Datsun to a Lexus. I'm now a married lady and pushing around the Lexus of vacuum cleaners.

It arrived yesterday, and naturally, the first thing I did was vacuum our entire upstairs. No hoses, just the floor cleaners. The nice thing about my old vacuum was that I only had to empty the canister a few times a year. My new vacuum? I filled the entire container JUST vacuuming our rugs upstairs. Inspiring that our vacuum sucks so much, or scary that there is just so much dirt and dust to suck?
