This sucks but makes me very happy

Little did I know I could get so excited over a vacuum cleaner…
So after digging dirt of the present bag of  the orange Hoover beetle, as I call her , I finally decided to follow Oprah’s guidelines to prosperity and throw out the old slivers of soap in the shower and go but vacuum cleaners bags when the one is about to explode.
So off  I went to Starks the 78 year old Portland institution for such appliances. Could they have really been making a living selling those for 78 years ? Wow.. So I walk in the door and am stunned at the showroom there must have been 300 models to choose from,,, really? But I was just there to buy a bag ; REMEMBER. So as I tried not to look at the Dyson spaceships, a very cute sales-boy moseyed over to me and asked if I needed help so I chimed right in , yes I need a Hoover a80 bag. He made a face  as if privy to some inside info , how I liked that particular vacuum . And I responded that it kinda sucked , but not very well , it didn’t really suck up Nigel hair very well off cheap Berber carpet. He nodded and asked if it was time to end my obvious frustration and I said maybe …Did I get sucked in that fast? The answer is yes … after a few requirements I gave him he trotted me over to the canister section and pointed to a bright violet colored futuristic looking machine. I immediately thought its so pretty and he so read me.
That kid in 30 seconds had dog hair on the floor had it plugged in and was putting the self-propelled lighted thing in my hand to try .
Wow this really sucked well and it was so quiet …. Not like that cheap embarrassingly loud piece of crap at home that didn’t suck worth a damm . The domestic Goddess kicked in  and convinced
Me  that if I just had that fine machine I would love to vacuum my house and  guess what happened next , yes your right that cute boy loaded into my backseat. But I promise there is more to come about this exquisite machine I cant get over it
