* No matter how hard you try, you can't split a blueberry
* While running errands in a rainstorm is a really poor time to find out one of your shoes leaks.
* Whoever invented bagless vacuums didn't own two cats.
* When just getting back into the normal swing of things after surgery, a solo trip to Costco involving a 40-pound bucket of cat litter is a really bad idea.
* Martha Stewart really wasn't history's most uptight caterer. That honor belongs to chef Vatel, who was supposed to serve a fish dinner to King Louis XIV of France. The fish didn't arrive in time, and Vatel killed himself.
* One can make a really good pesto out of mint, feta cheese, toasted pecans, and olive oil, and if you overdo the mint it clears your sinuses right up.
* If one plans to make mustard for tonight's dinner, one might want to double-check the recipe for such phrases as "soak overnight."
* If one is just coming out of a 6-week recovery period, a smart person wouldn't expect to get all caught up in just a few days.

I have a cat, a dog, and a rabbit, and I love my bagless vacuum! I like seeing the actual results of my labor... unless that is carpet fiber and not pet hair in there. Have you tried a Furminator yet? They are priceless! And take it easy - you don't want to have a setback, do you?
I have two extra hairy dogs (and one pug). We recently got a Bissell Healthy Home vacuum, and other than having a defective on/off switch (now fixed) I love it. WOW does that thing eat up hair. It holds a lot, too, and my favorite part is that the "bag" detaches and I can take it to the outdoor trash can and empty it there. I don't get all the stuff spilled BACK into my house.
I also want to say I am really, really tired of pet hair. My black dog seems to have more hair than the average 6-7 dogs.
I thought of you last night when making dinner, because I realized you could eat it--it was just some meat and vegetables sauteed together with garlic and served over rice. So, there, I made it through ONE meal.
