I might be gloating

Or just praising the Lord for the little things. Take your pick.

I am always teasing Warren about how much time he spends perusing Craigslist. I don't think he actually does spend inordinate amounts of time, but he checks a few categories every day. Thanks to him we have an extra fridge for eggs (free!). We have a meat slicer that is super handy for making deli meat. We have a food dehydrator that came new in the box and the person just wanted to get rid of it because she wasn't on speaker terms with the friend who gave it to her. (?) I could go on and on.

Over Christmas I joked about needing a new vacuum cleaner, and wanting a Dyson. Warren had never heard of the pricey suckers (he knows outside tools better) so it was quickly determined that would not be happening any time soon. No worries...my old vacuum still works, so it wasn't a need anyway.

But then lo and behold, what did he find on Craigslist, but a Dyson for $80! The man was moving back to China and needed to sell all his worldly possessions in a short timespan. I knew I would love it, but I would gladly do commercials for that company, for free. I even used the brush attachment to clean the boys off after their haircuts yesterday. I just sucked the hair right off their back and heads! The hose attachment reaches all the way to the top stair from the bottom of the staircase! I can't use too many exclamation points! We vacuum all the time now, just for fun!

Even the baby likes it.
