When I bought my house, one of the top selling features (there were a lot) were the floors. I have hardwood throughout the whole house, except the spare bedroom and I love it. I just feel as if the house is a lot more clean looking Anyway I use to have a Shark that I used to "vacuum" the floors but it broke : ( I then gave my vacuum a try and it just blows the dirt back at me.....ugh not fun.
Now I'm looking to replace the Shark and buy something new. I loved the Shark - It was a Groupon find and was well worth the $35.
What are you using? I'm looking for any suggestions on what you use. I hate, hate, hate using a broom. I feel as if it's a lot of work and not that great of a return. I want something that I can plug in, pull out, clean with and put back away.

Tired!
For the last year I've been tired, all the time! And not the normal "I went to bed late and need two more hours" tired. I'm talking I can't get out of bed, lift my head kind of tired.
About a month ago I had an ear infection and went to the doctor, my normal P.A. (who I love) wasn't available and I was sent to see a new doctor and I love her. She asked all the right questions. Symptoms that I thought were due to stress and "old age", pointed her towards a bigger issue.
My doctor sent me to have blood test done and they found that I have a vitamin B12 and D deficiency. They started me on a B12 prescription supplement and an over the counter D vitamin. I can't even start to tell you how amazing I feel.
For the last year or more, I've been struggling....I was always tired. There were days that I didn't and couldn't get up. I wanted to get up but I just could not physically get out of bed. When I did (a girl has to work) I just felt awful. Not anymore. Two weeks later, I have 100 times more energy. I'm sleeping my eight hours and waking up feeling like a normal person. A few other symptoms have vanished or become less noticeable. It's simply amazing at how wonderful I feel. While out the other day, I had a "flashback" of my life a few years ago, I felt joy, I felt the "old" Carrie.
Finally after five years of not feeling like myself, I'm starting to feel like we are finding answers and taking steps in the correct direction to finding my old self.
I wish I had pushed a little harder over the last years but as of now, I'm pretty happy that I'm able to get out of bed at a normal hour (7am) and not feel as if I'm going to smack my head off a table as I fall asleep.

Am I old and cranky or has TV turned extra trashy?
Honestly! When did it become acceptable for shows to curse every other word....or at all!?
TLC use to be a great channel....In the last year, it's gone downhill in my opinion (along with a lot of other channels). The other day I was watching TV, it was a Saturday and I had been watching, I believe, Say Yes to the Dress....The next show on was something covering a washed up "singer" from I believe, TLC. All I could hear from the other room was....beep, beep beep..Really? Isn't the name of your channel The Learning Channel? What am I learning? How to be trashy?
I've been going back and forth as to if I should cancel my cable and move over to Hulu and stick with a movie rental service (not that the movies out are all that wonderful). The only channels I NEED are ABC, HGTV, FX and Lifetime and LMN!
Maybe I'm crazy but I just don't want to support trashy TV!
