And you thought this blog post was going to be about Brad and Angelina...

What in the world, you may be thinking.  Yes, that's right.  I have gone off the deep end.  No, not really, I am just now the proud (not-so-stubborn-anymore) new owner of a vacuum cleaner and a steam mop.  Mike has been pining away for this power couple for awhile, but I stubbornly held out.  I try very hard not to buy things we don't need...for so many reasons.  Why spend the money, where will we put this, it will just break and then get thrown away, when I was a kid, blah, blah, blah!  But-finally, the sweeping twice a day (two dogs, people!) just got a little old.  And when I couldn't quite make two sweeps happen in one day and someone thought we had carpet put in, I just couldn't take it anymore.  Mike is off somewhere dancing in the street over my purchase :)
