The 3rd Trimester is HERE!!!!! Plus, the 3rd best day of my life!!

The 3rd trimester has arrived!!! WOOHHHHHHOOOOO!!! I am so excited!! I mean besides the fact that I can't bend over and sleeping has become impossible everything is going great! Plus now I can rest my plate on my belly while I am eating in front of the TV. It is so sexy!! I am stooping to new lows though . . . like eating a stale donut from Thursday's dozen talked about on the blog. Jeff could not believe I had eaten a 5 day old donut . . . I couldn't believe he thought it was odd. Apparently, I am a bunny snob but would be more than happy to eat out of a dumpster at Dunkin Donuts.
Well apparently the 3rd trimester started on the 3rd best day of my life!!! The first being of course marrying Jeffy!! The 2nd being the day we found out we were having a little girl. The 3rd best day . . . the day a dream came true . . . the day my wishes were answered . . . the day I got my DYSON ANIMAL. Let me explain that I have wanted this vacuum for 3 years . . .I watched my friends buy them one by one and dance around the house in glee cleaning like children on Christmas day. I watched people's shocked expressions when they found out I did not own one and contemplate if I was homeless because, I mean who and what type of sociopath did not have a Dyson??? Alas, Jeff said NO! Over and over again. I was working . . . so we had splurged on a housekeeper and Jeff said he was never buying that expensive of a vacuum cleaner for the maid to use. Then we moved and I stopped working and suggested since I was cleaning myself we should get one and he said NO! Now that I wasn't working we couldn't buy that expensive of a vacuum cleaner. I couldn't win!!!!!!!!! I even put it on my wedding registry hoping that one of my friends would win the lottery a couple of days before the wedding (or start stripping) and decide, "what the hell!" So, I kept buying the 2nd and 3rd tier runner ups on consumer reports and year after year they broke with Cooper's dog hair laughing in their face and calling them "WEAK Suckers!!" So for 3 years every time someone mentioned they had the Dyson Vacuum I would lean in and intently listen to every glorious moment of praise they gave it and knew someday . . . just someday I may get to know what they have experienced! Jeff said all those people just gave it glowing recommendations to make themselves feel better for spending that much on a vacuum. At moments like this I wondered if we should get an annulment because how could I love someone who didn't understand.

So the other day when Jeff was cleaning the handle of old vacuum flew off and he announced "this thing is a piece . . . we need a new one". I was like "well there is thing called the Dyson . . ." it was met with a glare. BTW, I heart Bed Bath and Beyond. We wheeled our 1 yr old broken vacuum in there and no questions asked they gave us 100% of our money back . . . then we had a 20% coupon which took $150 off, then we had 2 gift cards from our wedding!! My mind was racing . . . this might actually happen, I might actually become one of the lucky ones!! Jeff said "wow, we really won't be out of pocket to much!! Lets get it" Thus began the 3rd best day of my life! As we drove home, I kept looking in the backseat wondering if it would really be all I had imagined!

It is . . .Below are the pictures of me and my new baby, Donna the Dyson. I promise you I am already that person. I called like 20 people begging them to go buy it right away. We vacuumed with our vacuum right before we left and came home and ran the Dyson on the seagrass rug and literally 1 inch of dirt filled the canister! I was gagging to think I thought it was clean before!! Buy one . . . sell something . . . even one of your children if you have too . . . it is worth it. You know maybe I shouldn't be blogging because every time I finish one of these stories I realize I have less and less of a life. Oh Well just call me a loser . . . because I am a loser with a DYSON!!
