Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Tomorrow is a day off. The apartment is a wreck, so I intend to get some serious cleaning done.

The problem is the vacuum. When Kristen and I consolidated belongings, we gave my vacuum to one of Kristen's coworkers.

But Kristen's vacuum hates me. I break the belt every time I use it. It ate a hat and a cat toy. I have no idea how it managed to eat a hat. I was using the extender tool thingy to clean the baseboards and suddenly it smelled like barbecue. I don't know how the hat fell off the bedpost, but the vacuum managed to suck it up. And then the horror.

I really loved that hat.

So now it needs another new belt after going after the cat toy.

I'm so irritated at this vacuum.

I know it sounds like I'm nuts and vacuumed these things up on my own, but the cat toy was several inches away. And the thing just...lurched toward it.

I swear it's sentient.

What I'm saying is, Kristen's vacuum is Skynet.

I'm just going to keep posting, people. I have to make up for like, a year of not posting.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I like your posts, Allyson! I once had a vacuum like this--it made regular lunges for the curtains and they all ended up with shredded hems after a while. Some machines just HATE US.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Some machines just HATE US.

There's still one more open spot in the next Battlestar Galactica game. I'm just saying.

RIGHT? I'm not going to let this vacuum beat me, though.

I want a clean place for Thanksgiving. I plan to make a turkey breast, sit in my jammies, and get the decorations together for chrismakah.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just this afternoon our vacuum cleaner bit off a bit of the couch tassle and snarfled up the remains of Matilda's baloon, ribbon first.

Tassles are the natural enemy of the vacuum cleaner in the wild.

David, awesome idea. Thanks!

I've been psyched to see so much Onerousness dispatched.

Do you think we should do it on something like a monthly basis? Or irregularly?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I took some pictures of my ornaments. I'm trying to figure out pricing. The beads are draped over/around 1 3/8" glass ornaments. I was thinking of $10, $12, or $15 depending on the materials/complexity.
