The things that make me happy

We are having a big party here tomorrow afternoon and part of my goal today was to clean the house. But our vacuum has been not working well for a while. Joe came home with a new vacuum - a cheapie - and it was awesome. I vacuumed the entire house (three floors) even though I was planning on waiting until tomorrow because it worked so well. When I was done, the entire canister was filled with dirt, dust, and dog hair. I was sort of shocked because I hadn't realized how much crap was on the floor, although I should know after living in a tile floor house for three years.

The only bad thing - I dropped the canister on my big toe and now the nail is turning black.
