Huzzah!

I am now the very proud owner of a dyson vacuum! Today we picked up the DC 14 Animal. Let me tell you, this house was gross until I set that baby loose on the carpeting. And yes, as soon as we got in the door from Best Buy with the new toy. I ripped open the box and got cleaning. The whole downstairs, the actual stairs, then all of the upstairs, except the boy's office cuz he's in the middle of rebuilding his computer and there are parts everywhere. And no, the dyson never lost suction, even when that bagless canister was beyond max in it's fullness with hair and carpet fibers. It's a great day! (or maybe it's a very sad day...I'm excited over a vacuum of all things!)

Does this seem odd to you?

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Court: Man can sue over 'surprise' pregnancy

February 25, 2005

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Legal Affairs Reporter

If a woman performs oral sex on a man, leaves the room, secretly uses that sperm to impregnate herself, then sues the man for child support, is that "extreme and outrageous" conduct?

Yes it is, the Illinois Appellate Court ruled this week.

The justices said Chicago doctor Richard Phillips can try to convince a jury that his ex-fiancee pulled that trick on him, causing him emotional distress.

The ex-fiancee, Sharon Irons, also a doctor, says Phillips got her pregnant the old-fashioned way -- sexual intercourse -- and concocted the oral sex story as a novel excuse to get out of paying child support for their 5-year-old daughter.

"It's a pack of lies," said Irons, who says she and Phillips have dated off and on since they were students at the University of Illinois Medical School and rekindled their romance after she separated from her husband.

Well...

So I've set the sweater aside so that I can do something easier to rebuild my confidence in my crafting abilities. I went to Michaels yesterday and got some yarn to try out a Simple Wimple well...It is quite simple...however I underestimated the amount of yarn to purchase and....yeah...I'm out of yarn and barley have the "Si" of the "Simple Wimple" going... ugh... so perhaps today on the way home I'll pitstop at Michaels and get MORE yarn...like a lot more...
