i have the worst luck with vacuums

[xphilehb]

I have been in a foul mood today for many reasons, and I came home feeling like I'd been run over by a truck. So I took a shower and decided to do a few things to start cleaning my apartment, namely clean my toilet and vacuum the carpet. It's probably been a month or more since I've done cleaning of any kind, so this place is getting gross. And if I can get a handle on small things, then I just feel more calm about my life in general.

Unfortunately, my vacuum cleaner had other ideas. Soon after I turned it on, it started making a funny noise, and then there was smoke. So much for that idea.

Preach it, sister. (That said, I ALSO am having vacuuming issues, in that I hate it and don't want to do it, and I am afraid that all the kitty fur is going to just weave itself into a new layer of carpet. But I don't wannnnnna.)

ROOMBA. ROOOOOOOOMBA!

I'm sorry you're in a foul mood. I hope you feel better. Here, have a hug! *HUG*

Have you ever contemplated what a weird word "vacuum" is? Sorry, that's all my tired, cranky brain can muster today. :)

Comment butting to say...did you see the Daily Show last week after Obama's speech, about how Americans are lazy? And they cite the roomba as the prime example? Hilarious. And reminded me of you, as I know you hate to vacuum.

Well, crap.

*hugs you tight*

Yeah, I just turned the sucker off and shoved it back in my closet. I was not in the mood to figure out what was wrong with it last night. But I'm hoping I can fix it versus having to buy another new one.

That sucks, I'm sorry. I had a broken vacuum last year, and it was the pits. Even though I don't vacuum as much as I should, I should at least have the OPTION to, ya know?
