Eureka! Part III

When we first moved to Texas, we were in desperate need of a new vacuum. Our old vacuum was left for a friend in MD and well, even before I would get pots and pans, I wanted to have the more essential house item: a Sucky Vacuum. My eyes were set on a Dyson, but after many a consumer report no nos, I opted for another more highly rated wonder. For about the same price I could have bought the Dyson, I was stuck with a suckless wonder. (well, it only was good for about 6 months and then went down hill from there).

This Christmas, with our needle dropping tree, I decided the Dyson wanna-be had to go. A few days before Christmas I picked up the Eureka Smartboss as per my sister's recommendation. Fernando was a bit devistated. I guess the vacuum idea was his big gift to me. Oops!

He wrapped it up anyway and Mia made an adorable book to go with it. Hopefully I can figure out our new printer so you can see the pictures but here are some of the words at least:

Once there was this osm (awesome) robot
He would clean everything
The was only one problem though: His smile was attached to his nose
So nobody bought him.

In the end, the awesome robot found its way into my arms. And as much as I love my new sucky vacuum, the book was the best part of the present.

Okay, I totally panicked yesterday because the hose on my vacuum suddenly stopped sucking as well has it had. In other words it had become a "non-sucky" vacuum in your words.

I mentioned it to Chris today before I began vaccuuming.

Well, the bottom line is that your vaccuum should work just fine, and if it seem less powerful you might have a gluestick stuck in the hose.

Glad you like :0)
