The Dyson is Hard Work
Friday, November 02, 2007 at 01:35pm
The Dyson is destroying me. I am now compelled to vacuum once or twice a week, whereas before…well, nevermind before. I am fascinated with how quickly the bin fills with dust and cat hair. I cannot stop myself from yanking furniture away from the wall, getting down on my hands and knees to clean every corner and nook, or from vacuuming furniture and even our bed. I am working up a sweat while cleaning the house. When I have to stop and empty the bin into a bag, I need to go and vacuum the entire area again because I want to pick up any dust that might have fallen from the bin when I moved it.
Is there some kind of support group I can join? Because I don’t like being this person.
In other news, come on over! It’s clean here!

I use the hose attachment of my vacuum to clean any dust stuck to the actual vacuum. Is that weird?

My favorite evening entertainment is having a cocktail while watching the Roomba work for about 20 minutes, so let me know if you find that group.

I’m thinking of renting myself and my Dyson out for housecalls.

Is the a support group for people who dream and obsess about getting a Dyson? Jealous you own one! I try to break my vac just so I finally be a Dyson owner.
Now, they just came out with something called a Halo, which kills mites, and other creepy crawlers in your carpet!!! I’d go apeshit over that. It’s 500 bucks though…wah.
Those bagless vacs are a danger cuz you can see all the crap that it’s sucking up. I’m the same way with my Hoover. Such a dorkus.

I have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on mites. I know they’re in my house; I just don’t like to think about it.

oh my. seriously, when my boyfriend asked me what i wanted to do yesterday while he was working, i said - what the roomba and make sure she’s clean. hehehe it gets better.
he was having some of the guys over for a football game of some sort (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz). when they got there, i was watching fatal attraction and doing a thorough cleaning of the poor robot. i had her all taken apart and i was screaming - NOT THE BUNNEH! NOT THE FREAKING BUNNEH! and umm….they thought i was a crazy person. i quickly got booted into the bedroom where i continued my roomba-ing and giggled every time i emptied her.
