My Vacuum Cleaner Died

...seriuosly the thing just coughed up a big dust ball

and quit on me!

So now in the midst of Christmas shopping I find myself

checking out vacuums.

I simply must buy one soon, not only because

I must vacuum daily,

two cats and a dog make that a necessity,

but mostly because

I do not want my family deciding to buy me one

for Christmas!

I have a thing about getting appliances for any

occasion,

don't ever want one for my birthday, anniversary

and certainly not for Christmas.

Seriously, if anyone ever finds me on the floor looking all

misty eyed over a vacuum

I hope they'll have the decency to put me out of my misery!

(disclaimer: I found this add on google quite some time ago

and had planned on pulling it out for just such an occasion

when of course I found it posted on someone else's blog!

So  I must give credit to 'Cozy Home Chronicles' at

She has posted some great vintage photos today so please

go and pay her a visit. I hope she doesn't mind my using this image.)
