He does such a good job of it!

If I’m vacuuming, I just move the vacuum around furniture in swirly ways. I’ll move chairs, but not much else. In open areas, I’ll do short little zigzaggy lines because I don’t want to walk backward and forward all the time.

If he’s vacuuming, he moves every piece of furniture (except for way heavier stuff) OUT OF THE ROOM. Dining table, chairs, and barstools go into our kitchen. The coffee table goes into the entryway. The guitar and my little trunk go on the couch. Then, he goes back and forth making perfectly parallel vacuuming lines, all the way across the room. It’s a beautiful thing to behold.

The other day when we had friends over, one of my girlfriends said, “Oh, you vacuumed. You didn’t have to vacuum.” I told her the guy did it, and her response was, “Oh, and he does the lines!!!” The guy seemed pretty proud of himself when she praised his vacuuming skills (though now he’s pretending not to remember).

I took a video of him vacuuming (it’s so awesome), but I’m not sure how to upload it and embed it here. I don’t want to use youtube or something where people not reading my blog can see it (I dunno, that just seems odd to me). Any tips?
