farewell, giant dust bunnies.

m's mom graciously gifted us with a dyson (upgrade!) after mistakenly giving away our $39.95 dirt devil to her cleaning lady (i wasn't kidding when i said upgrade).

so of course like the brand whores we are, we opted to buy the target-branded version of the dc07. i know, i know. though it could be worse if we had bought it at urban outfitters or something.


anyway, the two big wins to this vacuum (besides the fact that our embarrassingly large dust bunnies are now chillin together in the canister):

1. m wants to vacuum A LOT in order to use his new toy. i ♥ novelty factor, especially when it forces someone who doesn't feel any natural inclination towards cleaning to clean.
2. the next piece of our yuppie lifestyle jigsaw puzzle has fallen neatly into place, in addition to the granite countertops, west elm furniture and wine rack we added this fall.

next stop, wardrobes consisting solely of cashmere and $200 jeans.
