Trying to figure this blogging thing out is downright painful! Spent a few hours researching what all of these terms mean and truthfully, all I figured out is that it takes two Tylenol approximately twenty minutes to knock out a stress headache.
I still haven't figured out how to set up for people to follow my blog, but you can push a button and follow me on Google+ now. I also have a little bar that will allow me to share to Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter etc. Think it might let my blog readers share my scintillating musings with other victims!
Of course, the only logical thing to do was share to Facebook and then try to pin it to my blog board. The next obvious course of action was to look up blogs on Pinterest. This led to several other people's boards which was quite interesting but still not helping me figure out the design and layout facets of Blogger.
The downside to looking at other people's boards is you see all the things they have pinned and I noticed a vacuum cleaner. This reminded me that my Gen 4 Kirby has been acting up quite a bit lately. After 18 years and a couple of rebuilds not sure if I should keep this or post it to the yard sale site and move on. Like a good wife, I trot myself outside (it's not raining and Saturday so we all know that means Joe is working on mowing the yard) catch his attention and ask him what he thinks. Like a good husband he says, "whatever you want dear" and goes back to mowing. At this point the best course of action is to sit on the bench for awhile and enjoy the hummingbirds.
By the time I go back inside all thoughts of blogs and vacuums have disappeared and I then spend a few hours on those pesky day to day activities that we must engage in if we want a clean house, combed kitties, clean clothes, a balanced bank account and dinner.
My version of Sheperd's Pie (ground beef, creamed corn and mashed potatoes layered in a Rachael Ray purple casserole with plenty of salt, pepper and garlic powder) is one of Joe's favorite meals. We sit down to eat and somehow conversation rolls back around to the vacuum cleaner...
Off to Facebook I go and now the quest for information and opinions begins. The contender for now appears to be the Shark Navigator...
Open to all suggestions, ideas and feedback! The must have items for the new vac are:
- Lighter weight than Kirby was but still durable
- Works on carpet, tile and wood
- Attachment for blinds and window sills
- Hose that gives short people ability to reach ceilings
- Picks up cat hair but not cats
- Not from Sears (long story)
- Easy to empty with minimum dust
- Only costs an arm, want to keep both legs
