Sinister Vacuum Cleaner Suspected Of Foul Play
Mon Feb 06 2006


I am playing catch up.

Too many days of working for me. 2 days last week and I was away from 2 in the afternoon until 11 last night, so the projects are piling up around here.

I am going about my day in a most haphazard way. Fly Lady would be appalled.

I have done laundry, am felting a wool bag, I cut my bangs, sprayed the peach and apple tree for leaf curl, made the bed, emptied garbage, cut down a huge lavender bush that was taking over the back yard, pruned the orange tree, and generally gone flitting from one thing to the next until my head is spinning. I think I have done all that other stuff to avoid running the vacuum, which for some reason today I have developed an aversion to. Don't ask. I have no idea what that's about.

I have a skirt cut out and ready to sew up. I'm holding my breath that I cut it large enough. I cut off the bottom part of an old dress that was too large for me. Wonderful Laura Ashley dress. But hey, it was too big! The skirt has 6 gores in it and it's hard to tell if I will be able to get it around my waist. But it sits in a pile on my sewing table tut tutting at me. We are out of cookies and I really should bake some, but realistically if I don't get that vacuuming done, I won't have time. I talked myself out of going out to go shopping. It wasn't hard to do. But I have a list with several odd ball things on it that have to be gotten hither thither and yon. I'm just not into a four wheeled excursion today.

I was going to clean out my car and vacuum it too this afternoon, but due to the vacuum cleaner aversion, that's not getting done.

Maybe it's the noise.

That could be it.

I need a quiet vacuum cleaner.

(What you NEED is to fix that hole in your head.)

I wonder if I could vacuum ( ) up into the dust bag?

Hmmmm.....

    But you did get a lot done.

    About the vacuum--if I want to get rid of a pesky cat, all I need to do is pull out the vacuum. Don't need to turn it on. Just drag it out of the closet.

    But I really need to turn it on.

    "I wonder if I could vacuum ( ) up into the dust bag?"

    Most people's () might find that threat intimidating and run for cover, but I suspect your ()is not so easily silenced and would probably keep talking even from the depths of the dust bag with a bit of wheezing thrown in for the guilt factor. LOL

    If it's any consolation I don't care much for my vacuum either. ;o)

    You were busy today! I hope some of it rubs off on me for tomorrow so I can get some things accomplished.
