Perfect Plug

Of all the house hold chores I get to do, vacuuming is my favorite. In fact, the only thing I don't like about vacuuming is trying to remember how to spell it. Two C's or two U's? (Feel free to share your clever associations) Anyway, we had our home appraised recently for a refinance. The appraiser was talking about square feet and how long our garage was etc... Exciting things I don't get to converse about on a regular basis. I don't know about you, but I really can't picture what 200 yards or even 200 feet look like. So. I think everyone should learn to speak in vacuum terms to me. Instead of talking about square footage on my house, the appraiser should have asked how many different plugs I must use to vacuum the upstairs. Without hesitation I would have blurted out, "One!!" He would have been impressed with my extensive knowledge, had he asked me that. All the same, I recall how excited I was the day I found my one perfect plug. I vacuumed the entire upstairs without the annoyance of switching plugs. I guess you could say we've sucked together, my vacuum and I. I suck at spelling vacccuuum and my vacuum has great suction. May you be so lucky!

Hey! I have to use four different plugs to vacuum my upstairs. No fair that you can get your whole upstairs with only one plug. Lucky. I really hate changing plugs. It's right when you're getting in the groove of things and then bam you have to change plugs.

So, I think that if you were to tell an appraiser guy that you only use one plug to vacuum your whole upstairs, it makes it sound like your place is REALLY tiny. Because I only use one plug to vacuum- and my place IS tiny! That is...if I were to HAVE a vacuum. Ya. We have to borrow my sister-in-laws or parents still.
I guess I should talk to amy about her 'extra' vacuum!

Oh, and I think back in the day, they used to call a vacuum a "Vac-u-um". If I say it that way, it helps me remember there are two U's.
