Dumbest Purchase

Okay, Dawn at SAL has issued a challenge to blog about our dumbest purchase. I honestly can't think of anything dumb that I have purchased besides 2 certain marriage licenses. I sure hope the 3rd doesn't turn out to be a dumb purchase!! The jury is still out on that one right now. He's totally being a man today!! Grrrrrrr.

I really don't fall for the things on the TV because I guess it is the anal part of me coming out. I don't trust anyone!! That's really bad sometimes. Oh!! I just thought of one!! My rainbow vacuum cleaner!! Okay, I really loved it at first but come on. $1,500 for a vacuum that you have to dump and clean after you have cleaned and OMG, the sludge in the bottom was enough to make me gag. For any of you that don't know me, I am a total gagger. I had had it for about 2 years and my son decided to use it one day when I wasn't home (total shocker!) and didn't dump it out afterwards. A few days later I couldn't figure out what the horrid smell was in my house. Everyone says I have a hound dog nose!! Well I finally found the source of the smell. You guessed it!! I just about puked!! The $1,500 rainbow went to the dump!! I have a Dyson DC17 absolute animal now and I LOVE IT!!!!

Lesson learned....don't let anyone talk you into something until you have done a ton of research. Hey, maybe that is why I don't trust anyone!!

I almost bought one of those darn rainbows too, but I hate to sweep and wouldn't spend the money or something I detest to do.

OMG Tammy...I almost spit my drink when I read your marriage license purchases. LOLOLOL!

And man do I understand! I regret the first one, but I'm happy about the second one. :)
