With a vacuum.
Now before you curl up your lip or immediately go into accusatory mode, you try vacuuming YOUR vehicle with a $1.25 vacuum that lasts 2 minutes. YOU try to fight with the blasted hose that wants so badly to be curled back up and returned to its post. YOU try to run to the other side of your car while throwing the hose across your seat as precious time is a-wastin'.
I threatened it, cursed it, and even tried to put it in a head lock. It wouldn't listen. But I got all the dirt sucked up.
So there. Nevermind the bruised shin from leaping across the back seat to get that one last bit of grass, or the twisted ankle I got from jumping the curb to get to the other side. It didn't do much to eleviate the anxiety of knowing the vacuum would cut off at ANY GIVEN SECOND.
I'm not so sure that $1.25 is worth the mental stress.

All that matters is that, in the end, you showed that vacuum who's boss.
Me thinks you needs a vacation. :-)
BTW... TAG!

I finally gave up and resided to the fact that I just wasn't going to win! To that end: I drive a truck and it's going to stay dirty no matter what I do!!!!! Don't let it get you down!
you are funny. :) so i noticed your blog from rebecca's blog, which i went to after she said to go read her blog. i have recently set up one myself, due to the urging of my counselor-in-cohorts friend John....but tell me, tell me, how do i link my page with yours (as in "other great reads" listings on rebecca's page)? i am soooo technologically challenged. and read my blog...i talk about stuff :)
Rachael,
It only took you $1.25 to vaccum out your car? It usually takes me close to $4 because of not making it to all the areas before the time runs out. I also usually end-up with bruises or cuts trying to run back and pour in more change before it cuts off. This may be why I haven't cleaned my car in months!
