Oops? Yay? Um...

So I made an impulse purchase today. Kind of. I can't really call it an impulse purchase, as I've been planning on getting one at some point for years, although I had been telling myself that it would be a reward for having a job, or paying off one/some of our debts or... none of which have happened yet.

It was kinda a really expensive impulse (or any type of) purchase. Like, I'm not getting photoshop or the computer components to support photoshop or a better camera for playing with in photoshop in the next year. At least.

You see, I bought a Kirby.

The thing that sold me was the dirt that came out of Page's mattress. Ew. And to think that our mattress has at least twice that amount of dirt accumulation between the biannual cover cleanings... Also, the sofa and loveseat are ooooold. And our lungs are vulnerable...

So you see, I'm still in the justification stage. (It was a lot, though a hell of a lot less than retail.)

*gulps*

Of course, this means I'll actually have to use it. Well, and get Geoff to use it.

*gulps again*

At least I can be sure it will last for longer than it will take to pay it off - those suckers never die.

We bought a Kirby... ten years ago? No, longer than that. Don't regret it one bit. My son, who was still living at home when we bought it, got his own once he had an apartment. In his case, he saw somebody with one in the back of their truck and traded them for it, then took it home and cleaned it up, but he loves his, too.

Dude, that Kirby is gonna last forever and I think it's going to do you a world of good. The having to use it part is annoying- is Page old enough to assign occasional vacuuming duties? :D

Okay, I'm assuming--or desperately hoping--that you don't mean that pink Pokemon thing...

*snorffle* You are correct! Kirbys are (originally) vacuums. Very, very good vacuums. With a price tag to match their quality.

They never die. I have an ancient Kirby passed down by my mother, and it works just fine. It was only displaced by a Dyson Animal.
