About six months ago I made an observation and startled myself: there's nothing economical about only owning one pair of shoes. For my childhood and growing years this was not the case, as shoes will become too small before wearing out completely and the unworn-but-too-small shoes become "wasted shoe."
Let me tell you, this realization is positively liberating.
Earlier this week I bought a vacuum cleaner. Its a strange thing to buy, something that I had never really thought about before. Would they make cool looking ones? Would they be comfortable at my height? How much does a vacuum cleaner cost? Would it be (unlike every vacuum cleaner I've ever encountered) easy to use, with all the parts attatching neatly when not in use? Would it maneuver nicely on varying surfaces?
I bought a Dirt Devil Vision and I like it. It's tall enough. It's a really pretty blue (sometimes I wish there were more yellow appliances, but it's not a popular enough color in the US). The foot controls are big, easy to activate, and intuitively placed. It even has a soft and flexible bumper on the front so you can run it into the furniture. I enjoy using it. Maybe I'll vacuum tommorow.
