My boyfriend and I exchanged Christmas gifts yesterday (we wanted to have a special day to ourselves away from family to enjoy this special time). Our gifts to each other included (for me): clothing, earrings, a crock pot, Sixteen Candles movie, and the original Willy Wonka movie...and (for him): Steelers pullover and emblem, James Patterson book, Reese’s peanut butter cups (his fave), face care lotions, and a DVD/CD shopping trip.
After we gleefully and oohed and aahed at each of them, my boyfriend surprised me by saying he had one more gift to give me. With a big smile on his face, he brought out a huge, shiny wrapped box from the family room and carried it into the living room.
I gave him a huge smile back because I knew immediately what it was...it was the gift I had on top of my Santa Wish List...the thing I had been wanting for a long time...A vacuum cleaner.
Now, not many women would consider a vacuum a great Christmas gift, but this woman does. See, we needed something more convenient than a broom and dustpan for our new place, so a few months ago, I ordered a stick vac I thought was the most awesome thing ever... but it broke down after a few uses and turned out to be a waste of money. Ever since then, my b/f and I had been scouring the store ads for a good bargain on a vacuum cleaner. We didn’t have much luck, though. Most of the vacuums we would see were too expensive for our budget. Then lo and behold, a few days ago, we see one on sale at Target...we almost ran to the back of the store where they were displayed--that’s how eager I was--but after looking around for awhile, there were none to be found...we had been beat to the punch by early bird shoppers.
Well, I kind of resigned myself to the fact that I’d be using the ‘ol broom and dustpan for at least a few weeks more, and thought maybe another bargain would come up some other time. Then my boyfriend brings out that shiny package, and gives me one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten...and one of the best surprises I’ve ever gotten. I open it up, and there stands a pretty and brand new Dirt Devil vac ... I asked him how he managed to get the vac, and he said that the day after we had gone to Target, he went back again, and a whole new set of vacuums on sale had been put out. He even decided to get the vac the same color as our carpet (he thought it’d be nice that they matched). I gave him a huge hug and kiss...how very thoughtful of him to have done that for me.
I put it together last night and tried it out today; It works great, and the carpet has never looked spiffier! Thanks, honey...for making this girl happy with your special gift...I only hope my gifts brought you as much joy.
