House beautiful

I Dysoned the whole house for the first time yesterday. That vacuum cleaner continues to amaze me with its powers of awesomeness. Given the amount of hair and dirt it pulled out of our carpets, I'm also amazed that a) John, Seamus and I aren't completely bald and b) that we don't go around perpetually enveloped in a Pigpen-esque cloud of dust. Apparently we've been unknowingly living in an appalling amount of filth. But now my carpets are safe for humanity once again.

Not so safe? All of my bathrooms. But I'll get them next weekend. I can only handle so many hours of cleaning in one weekend, and after the all vacuuming (I even moved furniture!), cleaning the kitchen, and tackling the massive pile of papers that had built up on my desk, I hit the wall and put down the sponge.

In other news, John and I are considering purchasing a second car. He's been using his mom's car to get back and forth to see her, but that may not work as an option for us much longer. We'd already started talking about buying a second car, so we might just do it a little earlier than we had planned. We've talked for years about getting a hybrid, so we're looking at the Honda Civic Hybrid, the Prius, and the new Toyota Camry hybrid as possibilities. John's main concern is that we get a car with a sunroof. My main concern is that we get a car that I like. I don't know. Given how much time I usually put in to obsessing over decisions like these, it will probably take us a while to make up our minds. Got any cars you would recommend? Or perhaps cars that you've owned and hated that you'd like to warn us about?
