Decided, decided

It's been slept on, pondered and analyzed. And it's also been ordered. Our very own Manimal (phrase coined by Nabbalicious). It should be here in a week or two. So. Tell me. Would anyone like my crappy old vacuum? I didn't think so. Maliavale suggested I try Froogle before buying anything. Thanks for the tip. I found it cheaper for what it was on eBay but the pricing confused the crap out of me. Then I read some reviews of the seller, Heartland or HeartlandAmerica -- something like that anyway. And of 14 reviews, 9 were very unfavorable. Thank god those reviews were there. I'd have jumped at that price otherwise. We're still saving a ton o money, though -- like $150 even with the shipping. I loves me some eBay. And that seller has a 97 percent good rating. Let's all cross our fingers. I needs to vacuum. Which brings me to a funny story. Our godson, Griffin, (he'll be 2 in July) has quite an affinity for vacuums. And cooking. He loves him some vacuum cleaners. Who knows why or how that happened. He giggles and laughs when his mom, Chrissy, pulls out the vacuum cleaner. And he'll just sit around sometimes saying "vaaaaaaccuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum!" So he got one for Christmas. A toy one of course. But he also loves to play with the Swiffer stick and he drags his little chair over to the counter when anyone's cooking and is just enthralled. His dad, Tom, loves to cook and says this could be a sign that Griff is going to fullfill his own lifelong dream of becoming a chef. Either that or a cleaning man considering his love of the products. Or perhaps a butler.
