I’ve had a Roomba on my Amazon wish list for eons, and since none of you have bought it for me yet I started nagging The Mc.
With two cats and hardwood floors, every day is like coming home to Hansel and Gretel gone wrong. Instead of a trail of bread crumbs, it’s little bits of litter. The kind that force me to wear socks – which I hate – rather than deal with the alternative: said bits suck to the bottom of my sweet tootsies like barnacles.
Last weekend while we were nesting, we each went our separate ways for a few hours and my wonderful man (clearly worn down my my whining) brought this home. She’s no Roomba. She’s different…better than what I thought I wanted.
I’ve named her Rosie, and have taken her dancing multiple times a day since she joined our family. She’s a beaut.
Is it bad that gifted me with an appliance, and at that, a vacuum? Is it bad that I love it?

So long as it’s a nesting gift and not a birthday, anniversary, or major holiday gift, I say it’s okay! Now, if you can only teach the cats to push Rosie themselves…

She’s gorgeous. I feel the same way about my cobalt blue KitchenAid mixer, a birthday gift from 8 years ago.

One year my dad bought my mom a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. That didn’t go over so well, and I chalked that up under “important life lessons”…

Dead sexy! It’s not a Dyson, but it sure has better looks.

She’s a beauty, eh.

That’s prettier than a new set of snowtires.
