IF you wake up at 6, work out with Jillian, pharm all day, and feed and bathe two little ones, THEN you will fall asleep while holding your precious laptop and trying to think of funny-enough comments for your favorite bloggers.
I have also discovered that working out in the morning can eradicate any time you may have previously used for flat-ironing your hair. I have worn a ponytail three times this week. I've got to work on that.
Another casualty has been my manicure...or lack thereof. Do you ever look at your nails and raggedy cuticles mid-day and think, "I WILL fix that tonight!" only to pass out on the couch and find yourself looking at even more decrepit nails the next day? This may or may not have happened to me this week, but just between you and me, I am going to hunt down my Sally Hansen cuticle remover today.
Now for a quick, informal, and unscientific survey...
What kind of vacuum cleaner do you have and do you like it? Lipstick, why would you ask such a thing, you may be wondering. Well, Mr. Lipstick wants to buy this.
This benign-looking device with its friendly little face is actually a commercial-grade vacuum cleaner. I think it is too expensive and that it looks heavy and unwieldy. Mr. Lipstick is painfully frugal, but paradoxically prefers to have the commercial version of all normal household items. He mounted a vigorous campaign for the Numatic Henry yesterday and was genuinely shocked that I wasn't...um, on board.

First, I have not been on the treamill in two weeks! bad me. Also, I told hubby this week that the first thing I want to buy with our income tax refund is a new vacuum clearner.
Sweetie,
I think Pretty Girl will think it is for her. I use electrolux. And it looks more "grown up" Sorry Mr Lipstick, but I have to go with thumbs down. But I promise to keep an open mind.

I come here through Ashley.Unscripted .
That vacuum is certainly 'cute' but I would go with a Dyson . If you are going to go pricey then Dyson is the way to go , IMO.
Hey there Lipstick! My boyfriend Kevin is a carpenter, and he is in love with the Henry vacuum cleaners. I think it's a boy thing. I've got a Dyson that I love. But if having Henry around will get Mr. Lipstick to vacuum (f he doesn't already), it might not be such a bad thing :).
Found your blog and love it! You crack me up! I love the way you write and I am so jealous of the dvr full of house! I too love House-my husband and I get a kick out of it-all the time!! :)
I wanted to ask you about Jillian-is it really that fantastic? I am wanting to get on a program-it is way too cold and way too much snow for me to go outside. My body really needs all the help that it can get!!!
So-please let me know what you think. Honestly and if it's worth the money.
Thanks so much.
PS-if you don't have a dyson vacuum-you should get that instead of the smiley one. It really makes vacuuming a joy! (almost)
Please, stop by and say hello!
Have a fantastic weekend!
If getting this one means your hubby will do the carpet cleaning, then I say go for it... :) Otherwise, it does look sort of unwieldly to me, but I have never seen one in person.
I have a Dyson and LOVE it. But, I do agree that if Mr. Lipstick is the one doing the vacuuming, he should have whatever he is comforable with. If, however, he expects YOU to use it, YOU should get to make the choice.
And for what it's worth, even my kids use the Dyson.
whoa, Henry looks like a lot of vacuum cleaner! Is it a wet/dry vac? if so, buy!
and you took the words right out of my mouth - ponytails and bad nails. I was thinking how I couldn't run into any kind of self-respecting female friend with these nails today.
my vacuum cleaner sucks... or it doesn't suck enough, I should say.
Let us know what decision you make!
Sweetie,
Having been "called on the carpet" by Mr Lipstick, I am keeping that open mind. Since you only have hardwood and tile, you don't need a Dyson. Oh, let him get it. It's red and would do for Valentines!
Mommy Lipstick
Dyson...Dyson...Dyson...Dyson, I have the purple animal hair and I am in LOVE with this vacc.
I left you a blog award on my site. Still lovin' your blog!
I am totally with you on the manicure thing! I don't even have any kids yet and I still look down at my nails and think, "Wow, that's pretty haggard."
Anyway, I just found your blog from Preppy 101's blogroll and I'm really looking forward to following it!
Don't listen to Mommy Lipstick! My aunt, who only has hard wood and tile, was borrowing my Dyson so often that she finally broke down and bought one for herself. She loves hers, too.
