Domesticity, Friends Are Swell

This Totally Sucks

While at work the other day I got a phone call from a woman in Summerland whom I’ve known for quite some time. She confessed, “I was reading your blog and saw that you needed a vacuum. Want ours?”

Moments later she dropped this off:

Turns out it had been collecting dust in her closet for the past few years since they had hardwood floors installed and they no longer needed the powerhead for their lack of carpet. I was dumbfounded by her kindness and am so thankful for this new upright beast of a machine. She cleaned it up all nice and included a bunch of refill bags and all the nifty attachments. Thanks, Patti! I’ve vacuumed two days in a row since receiving this motorized gift.

  • You are just too cute (and skinny!)! And I love the necklace by the way.

    Random kindness… it’s a beautiful thing.

  • Um, lets just say I can more easily see you wearing a tiara and eating bon bons (weight watchers ones of course) :)

  • Wow! That is so cool!
    I just saw an Oprah about paying it forward. I bet she is just as rewarded as you, for doing something nice for someone. See? Humans can be nice!

  • hmmm….you’ve given me an idea. I will write a post about how i really need a new ipod. I wonder if someone will give me one. Probably not…but it’s worth a shot!

  • Hee! I never get tired of the “my vacuum sucks” play on words.

    See you tomorrow, you hot woman of domesticity, you!

  • That’s so nice! Enjoy every minute of your domesticity!

  • We had that vacuum for years, and loved it.

    Then, something terribly went wrong…

    We smelled something burning, and the vacuum went kaput!

    I haven’t bought it’s replacement. I simply don’t have the heart yet.

  • People are so nice. keep your yes and ears open for someone in need and pay it forward!
    You look great in your picture! Keep it up!
    My goal (ww) this week is to drink all my water everyday. You?

  • You look very domestic! Very nice!

  • That rocks!

  • Yeah I love the necklace too….

    Hmmm…. oh, and the vaccuum is totally awese! You’re a hot momma! Fo Realz!

  • Wow, that is super nice! What a blessing. And, I’m sorry, but you do NOT look like you need to lose any more weight. You look like a domestic goddes!!
