the vacuum.

does anyone have a chore that they hate more than anything else in the world? we're talking a hate so pure that you would volunteer to do every other chore in the house if it meant you wouldn't have to do this one thing? if you don't, then you're probably one of those lovely people who likes all cleaning. i bet you do dishes after a night of drinking because you like to wake up to a clean kitchen. i love being roommates with you people. i love you so much i married one of you. oh yes, mister z. wins as the cleanest half of this couple. i'm no dummy.so i'm not one of those people who likes to clean all the time. i'm not a pig, persay, but i see nothing wrong with using clorox wipes as a great alternative to a bathroom deep clean. i'll clean when i need to, and i am the official dishwasher in my marriage. the one thing that i try to avoid at all costs is vacuuming. i hate it so much. i don't know if it's the noise, the fact that i can barely tell if i did anything to make the floor cleaner, or just the repetitive motion, but it's just. the. worst.after our wedding, MM and i had some gift card swag to target, so we decided to use it on extremely practical things like veggie peelers, storage containers and....dun dun dun....a new vacuum! (i keep spelling that word wrong by the way. it's harder than it seems). we did some research and decided that we were going to go for a dyson. not just any dyson though, no. we went big and chose the one built for animal hair. we don't actually have a pet, but i have a shedding problem....there is a lot of hair around the z apartment.this purchase has changed my husband's life. it stayed out in the living room like a sculpture for the first week or so, just being admired for its sleek design. it's purple, so i think it's pretty at least. but when Mister Man plugged that baby into the wall, it was like he had eyes for nothing but the vacuum. the swivel! the tornado canister! the sheer horsepower! "this thing is amazing!", was said about fifteen times during the living room session alone. "it's sucking up all of your hair!" right after the living room session, he turned to me and asked, "do you want to try this out?"no. nope, i don't want to try it out. "why not?" because i hate vacuums my love. "who hates vacuums?" i do. "you're a weirdo." well, you married me.  "..."the other day, as we were cleaning the apartment, MM offered to do the dishes, then offered to go take the clothes out of the dryer. the bathroom had been cleaned, and the only item left on the list was to vacuum the hallway and the bedroom. ugh. of course. the husband is being so nice about doing tons of the cleaning, am i going to refuse to take care of the last thing?i'm not that horrible of a wife. so i did it. i took one for the team. and you know what?that damn vacuum is amazing.
