I am thankful for Hoovers.

I just have to write a quick post about my vacuum. After 9 1/2 years of faithful service our Hoover died.. It really was quite sad. A belt in it shredded and left little black specks all over the carpet and of course when that happens you want to vacuum up all the little black specks.... and then you realize what a predicament you are in. :) So after a little reflection we decided to buy another Hoover since our 9 1/2 year old Hoover must have been like 105 years old in vacuum years when it died. I'd say that's a pretty good run.

I got up early and went to Target before Adrian went to work so I could look at all the vacuums sans children. (It was actually really nice to get up and out by myself even if it was only to go to the store.) First I saw all the Dysons....which are ridiculously priced....but look so neat. Then on to the Hoovers. The Hoover right next to the Dysons, the Wind Tunnel 2, was also outrageously priced so I moved on to the Hoover Savvy. It was a little more than I hoped to spend but seemed to have all the features I hoped for and hey its almost Christmas right?! So I got it. And I'm so happy I did - it is sooo cool! This vacuum makes our 13 year old family room carpet look semi-okay and that's a feat! It has this mini vacuum head attachment for the hose so you can really clean couches and hard to reach spots. It's also bagless, which is a first for me. No more vacuum bags to change - yay! And you can see the dirt collection compartment. I was amazed by how much dirt it picked up the first time I used it. It also has a hepa filter and a dirt sensor. It will turn on a little red light in the front if it sensed you haven't picked up all the dirt from an area. Isn't that cool?!

I know it might seem silly to blog about a vacuum but I really am thankful for my new vacuum. I figure it may be a small thing but life is made up of all these small things and I should remember to be thankful for them. I must be getting that Thanksgiving spirit!
