we are officially old

the big news here is we got a new vacuum today. before today we had a vacuum that was purchased over 5 years ago from a salesman at sears who was clipping his fingernails the whole time we talked to him. that's all i really remember about the experience. i'm pretty sure we bought the vacuum because it was a cool color and a brand that we had heard of. not too smart. from the instant we bought that vacuum home we hated it. i mean really hated it. it sucked in ways that we could never imagine. (*insert vacuum "sucking" pun*)
so it was no sad day when the thing finally blew up. i inadvertently got the string to my sweatshirt sucked up into the thing and something started smoking a bit and it made a horrendous sound. and the vacuum is history. D took it apart and gave it a very brief once over because we all knew that nobody wanted it fixed.
mere hours later we came home with this beauty. and life is good.
