Don't you just love vacuums!! I don't know if there is a household item which provides more instant gratification!! It's a mom's best friend. Gone are the cracker crumbs, cookie pieces, and other snack-like paraphernalia that somehow "mysteriously" appears on the family room furniture and floors (despite the much asked question--"is this the kitchen?" which is always answered correctly but then promptly forgotten). Is there a sweeter sound then a vacuum sucking up all the "I don't want to know what's in there" objects as you stick the end of the hose into the dark recesses of the couch? I dare you to find one!Gone are the days when you have to actually see the destruction lurking under things; now you simply put on some attachment that allows this wonderful machine to do it's magic almost anywhere and away you go. In fact, I seriously think they have mothers design these attachments with that in mind-- "what is the greatest distance that I can safely eradicate this unknown substance and not witness it in the process?"
Now I do admit, there are times where the blind cleaning the blind isn't the best (under a child's beds for example). If someone could actually make a vacuum that could suck up small animals (or at least giant dust bunnies which multiply at an astonishing rate) think what a joy that would be? Gone would be the clutter, the smelly socks, the items that have long since lost their identity and purpose. In a flash all would be pristine! Imagine if said machine could fit into small storage spaces too!!
Got to love vacuums when short notice visitors are headed your way, and within minutes at least one part of your house can look good! It's great when someone comes to the door and you are still in your sweats, and it's noon...especially if you don't have a spray bottle handy to do the "just got done working out look" (see previous post). Have a vacuum handy and just click it on for a sec as you answer the door and voila....you're covered. (As long as you don't let them past the front door!) Shoot! I'm giving away all my secrets!!
Stay tuned for the next installment of my second favorite appliance, entitled..."a love affair with the garbage disposal!" Do we sense a theme here?
