Today started out pretty normal... woke up really, really late, during a dream about pushing boxes (damn you Avatar game!). It's really not surprising that I was having dreams about it, though; I stayed up until about two in the morning last night playing it (...even though it's not really all that good ^^; it's like a bad fanfic) and waiting for Haru to show up (you don't actually get to play as him in the GBA version XP).

Anyhow.

Yesterday, on our expedition to Marshfield, my dad bought a new vacuum which is supposed to be all fanciful and special and stuff. And very good for picking up dog hair. So he made me pre-vacuum to get the big stuff off the floor.

My dogs are really, really weird around vacuums. Sarge (the bigger one, almost two) is terrified of them. Not as bad as when he was younger, but still enough to send him fleeing from the room. And Kally (younger, almost seven months)... apparently thinks they're some kind of chew toy. Seriously. When I was vacuuming, she tried to eat it. I'd push it forward and she'd snap at it, and then she'd whine when it didn't try to bite back or whatever she was expecting. WEIRD.

And then, just to add a touch of surreality, my dad put this stuff that looks and smells like crushed lemon Pez all over the floor. I'm not sure why. It's supposed to help with the new vacuum or something. And then... the new vacuum didn't work. I'm not sure why, it just didn't. So my dad had to use the regular vacuum to get rid of all the lemon Pez stuff.

So HA.

Our carpet is very, very clean now, though.

And then, of course, Saddam Hussein was hanged (hung...?) this morning.

Oh, wait, Dad just got the vacuum to work. He loves his toys.
