Suck-it-up

I just got an email from my friend Sara regarding the fact that she thought I was “a craaaazy lady” for buying an $800 vacuum (two years ago). And that yesterday, she also fell to the temptation of purchasing a new and very expensive piece of essential household equipment…a new vacuum.

To be truthful, I got it for our 10th Anniversary. Maybe that makes it even worse or maybe better…you see every time I plug it in I can think of my wonderful husband who loves me so much that we bought a house together, had three kids together and now own a fabulous red vacuum together.

I have owned and operated my fare share of SHITY vacuums in my life. Vacuums, that when you plug them in, make noise but don’t pick anything up or ones that were hand-me-downs from my mother-in-law that are so old they don’t even make the replacement bags for anymore or the one that Adam owned in college, I’m not sure that one was ever used but if it was you do not want to know what went into the bag.

You may be wondering…is it really worth it? My answer is, YES, YES, YES. And if I am ever faced with the buying decision again, I will absolutely save all the imaginary pennies I am making as the CEO of the household and buy another one.
