Ya know, it's not often that cleaning supplies send shivers of excitement coursing through my body. (I know, unbelievable, right?) But this... this little piece of domestic equiptment has got me all a twitter. I admit, I even let the kids eat chips in the living room in hopes that a few crumbs would need my eager attention. I simply cannot be in a bad mood with this in my hand. I've tried. It's impossible.

And it's all thanks to my sister-in-law, Amy - who heard me go on and on about seeing it at World Market and remembered it for my birthday. This causes me to think two things. I think I need to draw up a list of appropriate (read NOT INSANELY BORING) conversation topics for future reference, and secondly, that I have an awesome s.i.l. for totally getting me. She's so sweet, especially since I'm sure she got some weird looks while having it gift wrapped. Bless her.

Now if I can just find some kind of amusing laundry basket, my world will be complete. (close, but still looking.)
