My world has changed
I hate vacuuming.
I would much rather clean a disgusting, poop-crusted bathroom than vacuum.
This presents a problem because 1) Ross also hates vacuuming and 2) we have two huge dogs who shed tumbleweeds of fur year-round.
I’ve always said to Ross that if anything ever causes us to get a divorce, it will be vacuuming (That and how he never locks the doors. Ever. In fact, that won’t cause us to get divorced. Instead I’ll be murdered one day by a crazy, sick lunatic who has wandered into our house because SOMEONE didn’t lock the door, leaving Ross a widower).
Anyway.
When it came time for Ross’s mom to ask us what we wanted for Christmas, he made a very specific request with an added note: If you get us this, it will save our marriage.
How could anyone refuse that?
So, on Christmas Eve, Ross and I received something that made our dreams come true. Because not only does it vacuum for us, it’s basically a robot.
Yes. We have a Roomba.
She (because she’s obviously a she) lives under the chest in our living room and comes out to clean the floors after we’ve gone upstairs for the evening.
There’s only one problem. Roomba might actually be the end to our marriage. Because I’m swiftly falling in love with her.

How does it do with the dog hair? Do the rollers get all fouled up with it? Do you have to empty the bin every day? I’m in the same position with vacuuming.
Does it actually work?! Is it worth the money? I have SOO been thinking about getting one, but have wondered if it is truly worth it.
Yes! It works wonderfully and it really easy. It even lets you know when it needs to be emptied by making a sad “bleep bloop” sound.
I spent 45 minutes vacuuming yesterday. I’m jealous.
Justin thinks I’m silly for locking the door when I’m home alone. I tell him that I’m a female and don’t feel comfortable being home alone w/ the front door unlocked.
