13 + years and a golf ball

and My vaccuum died.  It did give a long life, of LOTS of work.  So today I "got" to go purchase a new "toy". Yes it is a bit sad that something like a vaccuum cleaner makes me excited. Oh well. I'm old and boring.  My new vaccuum is nice, very light weight, less than 20 pounds. THAT is amazingly cool compared to the old beast that weighed in at nearly 45pounds.  The hoses are attached to the vaccuum, I don't have to remover a piece to add the hoses to do the couches, or blinds. YAY!!!   And it's bagless. So I can 'suck and dump' (get your mind out of the gutter).. this will actually save us for those missed polly pocket items I tend to vaccuum.

In other news, the couples shower I'm throwing for my girlfriend and fiance is coming together nicely.  All I really need to get done besides totally cleaning the house, again (why do kids need to play? stop you know I'm joking), is to mow the front and back yards.   For those of you who actually KNOW me, you know our yards are not green grass or pretty. This is soon to change. My neighbor gave me the secret to green lawn. I'm taking it and running with it. I'll post before and after pictures when I get the after effect.

Lastly, I had an impromtu audition Thursday evening for the lead vocalist for a local band. I've no idea if they'll hire me. But today I had lunch with a friend who manages another band, and knows LOTS of others, my name will be getting out there... I should be singing soon. I'm excited!!! It's a totally unplanned turn of events, but feels so very right.

Congrats on the new vacuum!!!  That is a joy, isn't it, to get a new vacuum!!  Yours sounds a lot like mine.  Only mine is old now and I could use a new one.  It's not working like it used to.  Rob brought one home and I think I will switch to that one, if I can get used to it.  I think that is half the battle with vacuums, just getting used to them.  Good luck with the singing!!  Hugs,
Lisa
