Some people covet distinct pieces of furniture, or art work, or great collections of ‘things’. There is always the most amazing sofa, or incredible artist, or that rare hard to find piece that will make your collection complete. Its not to say its unattainable; you may have to pinch pennies, or move to a new space to accommodate the 12x10 painting, but the hope you have for that most coveted ‘thing’ never dies. Once you have laid eyes on this item, it is hard to let go, and accept that you may never have ‘it’. Well you know what my most coveted ‘thing’ is? Hairless floors. Yes, HAIRLESS floors. And I have accepted that I will never have it.
Currently my floors look like this:
Mind you this is about 6 HOURS, not days, HOURS after sweeping, Swifting, and vacuuming! I swear!
What I covet is this:
Sometimes I kid myself into thinking that if I take them outside and brush them with the Furminator then all the hair will be gone and I will get at least a few days reprieve from hairy floors. Last time I did that I almost brushed the lab bald (seriously, her skin was a little red) and the husky hates being brushed so I only got a few good swipes on his back. That too only helped for an afternoon, er an hour.
So alas, I have resigned that I will never have gleaming-hair-free-hardwoods…at least for about 8 more years. Maybe Ill go look for a piece of art...maybe that will make me feel better. Then I can stare at the wall instead of the floor.
