Well.... It's starting to warm up here, which is a good thing. Really going to need a dig-site soon, and with the ground thawing and the landscaping not being completed in the back, this may really be my opportunity.
One of the things I personally really wanted when we moved from a tiny SF apartment to a house was a functional vacuum cleaner.... with the damn dogs being.... damn dogs, the area rugs were really filthy. The woman liked using a silly little dirt devil thing without a brush, so it really didn't do a damn thing.
When we moved here, she didn't even think we needed a new vacuum. I did.
So we looked at some when we were buying a carpet cleaner (also my idea... ) she didn't like the cheap ones, because they were big and heavy. She didn't like the expensive dysons because they were expensive.... She wanted something small.
So I did a little internetting and bought a vacuum cleaner. Nice little thing... hoover linx. It arrived a couple days ago and I set it up.
This morning... the woman literally took time out of her current activities downstairs to march upstairs and start yelling at me while I'm showering.... because the vacuum cleaner didn't have attachments like sticks and hoses.... she is convinced she told me it needed to have attachments.... given that she is also convinced she told me it shouldn't be battery powered (this one is) because she didn't want to spend money on lots of batteries (this is how I know she didn't tell me this, because I would have pointed out the fact that the battery powered ones use their own battery packs) ... there's a decent likelihood she imagined this conversation.
Anyway.... who the hell puts out the effort to march upstairs while in the middle of feeding the dogs, just to express one's displeasure over the absence of vacuum cleaner attachments... at 730am? Someone who's going to be buried in a random suburban housing development before sod is put in this spring..... that's who.
