Spending Money

So Jim broke the vacuum.  Well, it probably would have broken if I had been using it so I guess I can't really blame him.  Which means that in addition to going down to Richter and Phillips yesterday to get my ring re-sized, grocery shopping and enjoying a delicious dinner at Eddie Merlots, we also had to go to Target to purchase a new Bissel.  Lots of money headed out of the Hanke bank account. Oh well.  Anyway - we bought the product you see at left and it works like a dream.  I broke it out this morning after breakfast to give it a test run and HOLY SHIT!  You can't imagine the amount of crap it sucked up.  Watching all that hair and dust swirl around in the canister is kind of disgusting.  While I did that, Jim did a bit of carpet cleaning using his shop-vac...he has a technique that beats a steam cleaner but take longer so he does a bit here and there.  He did the stairs this morning and the area next to his side of the bed where Bubba likes to sleep.  Smells very clean in here right now.  Not that it smells "dirty" normally but you know what I mean.

 

So the plans today:  I'll do my ab workout here in a bit and then shower and get ready for Shooters.  It's been a couple weeks since we've gone and we're due for a treat.  I need to get the cubed steaks in the slow cooker as well (trying a new recipe).  I don't know that Sami will get her walk in today because it keeps raining here and there. Maybe when I get back from the bar we'll try and go. 

 

And that's about all I've got.  Have I mentioned how excited I am to get my ring back?  I miss wearing it and it's so pretty.  When we dropped it off at the jeweler, Artie, one of the owners and the guy who actually sold us the ring said, "This really is a beautiful ring...I remember when you picked this out...a really good choice."  Not to toot my own horn but it is gorgeous and so unique.  Hopefully by Tuesday I'll have it back. 

 

K - well...guess I better quit procrastinating and get my workout on. Happy Sunday.  Ugh - I can't believe I have to work a full week this week.  YUCK!  Later!
