HELP!!!!! I can't stop vacuuming!

After wishing, praying and hoping for several months, I finally bought a Dyson vacuum sweeper.

I had listened to happy Dyson owners rave for over a year. I read in blogs about the wonders of the Dyson.

I didn't want to pay over $400, and I wanted one of the animal-hair ones. My dog, Sadie, sheds like crazy.

So I was Googling around the Internet looking for bargains and suddenly found a deal at Linens and Things, online. First-time customers got 25% off by typing in a coupon code, and shipping was free. Bingo! I chose the Dyson DC07 Animal Vacuum.

My sweeper arrived yesterday, and I've emptied it three times. The first two times, it was mostly dog hair. Now I'm getting a mixture of dog hair and dust.

I have, in my Google searches, learned that not everybody likes Dyson; in fact, some people hate them and have been badly disappointed. We'll see how I feel about mine in a few months.

I think one of the fascinating things about this modern marvel is that you can see what you're picking up in the clear dirt-container. Believe me, it fills up fast, and keeps getting dirt long after I would have stopped, if I couldn't see what I was getting out of the carpet!

I've swept carpets, throw rugs, bare floors, steps, and bedspreads. Every time I park the silly-looking purple thing and sit down, I glance around and see just one more thing that needs vacuuming.

I'm going to have to sleep and eat sometime. HELP!!!!!

I bought a Dyson!

Everyone I've talked to who has a Dyson vacuum, loves it. The price of the things has prohibited me from getting one for myself, but I've schemed, plotted and planned for ages, watching all the sales.

Yesterday I typed the words "Dyson animal sale" into Google and found one ... the D07, animal-hair model... (gotta have that, with Sadie around) for under $400. $396 including tax, to be exact. With free shipping. I got it at Linens and Things; there was a deal where first-time customers could take 25% off any one item.

It's been shipped.

Happy day!

Win a Dyson!
