Hey, speaking of robots, we bought ourselves a Roomba yesterday!
I'm in love with a robot!!!! This thing is GREAT. It really vacuums well,
and does everything it says it does. I charged it overnight and turned it
loose this afternoon. It only got itself stuck once, and it lets you know
it needs help by "singing" to you!! LOL
Sorta like a flat little R2D2, with less vocabulary.
Thank Bob for this thing- I can't push a vacuum anymore, and Ross
doesn't have time for that nonsense. He does enough as it is. So I got
the great room in tip-top shape today, and thanks to this little robot, I
can keep it clean with ease. Thank Bob! That dirty carpet was stressing
me out something fierce.
(For folks who might not know what a "great room" is, it's what we
call a living room that is open to the dining room, and also serves as the
'family room' or den. So folks see a LOT when they walk in your front
door!)
It's so cute- when the battery charge is almost gone, it goes back to
its base and starts recharging itself. What a wonder.
