DD2 took my vacuum to the repair shop and it'd motor is shot and it's motor housing is too. They said it would cost too much to repair it and advised I buy a new one. Waaaaaa...I don't want to buy a new vacuum!! They're waiting for a call back for permission to throw it in the trash because they cannot even use it for parts. Boo Hoooooo!! Bless it's little heart, it has served me well for a lot of years.

To make matters worse, it's still raining and gloomy and dark and I am sooooo sick of it!!!

The good news is that the forcast says that it will be nice tomorrow and the sun will shine for the next week or maybe more. Hooray!!

DD2 is coming over in a few minutes with Kyra & Conner and she's bringing her vaccum with her to vacuum for me. Hmmmmm...maybe I shouldn't buy a new one..LOL!! It will be so good to see them though and be with people. I feel like almost a hermit!!

So that's about it for my day. I'm messing with laundry and got the dishwasher started. I know..whoopee..LOL!!

Hope your day's going well. I'm going to start reading the posts now and see how far I get before DD get's here. Take care everyone and enjoy your evening.

Oh yea, anyone else watching the "Martha Stewart" movie on TV tonight?? I'll be glued to my set for sure, sounds interesting.

Of course I'll be watching "American Idol" tonight too. :o)

Hi Susie! You sound like you need a hug too, losing a trusty cleaner, What brand was it? Now you can get a light weigh one like other's have, the Orack. When mine gos kapowie, I plan on getting one! We are not suppose to get nice weather all week, at least it is suppose to get warmer tomorrow! Big deal hah? It's only been in the upper 50ºs all day!

I stayed in all day, wearing sweats! and made some cookies! My DH took a vacation day, told to actually by company, he went to the Doctors this morning and they cleared out his ear! Now he can hear better. It did not sound like fun though, I said that I'm glad I did not have to see them doing that to him!

Yes I'm planing on watching that movie about Martha! They said this morning on the View that Jen and Bachelor will be on there, Thrusday Morning, I do not have to work then so can see them. That is so sweet of your DD to come and clean for you and all the other nice things that she does for you to! Such good girls, you have! {{{Hug}}} SusieK

Poor Susie, you won't be able to vacuum your cupboards now (see Janet's post).

I watched the Martha Stewart movie and was disappointed. I don't think they pointed out what in her childhood made her so aggressive. I think that is one they could have made into a two or three part movie. PBS had Doc Severensen on at the same time and a local station had a "tour" of Milwaukee's oldest cemetary which was very interesting. So I got a lot of milage out of the remote control.
