So my back got a lot better and I didn't need to use them very much anymore except when I felt lazy and didn't want to vacuum (as vacuuming is a household chore that I actually somewhat enjoy doing!) I'm down to one roomba, which is downstairs, which I tried to use last week as I was feeling lazy. However it was over a year since I last used it and I had left it in its charger that whole time so the battery pack is totally shot. (If you're not going to use it for a while, you have to take the battery pack out, which I did not do). I'll need to buy a new battery pack.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074339341919661384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-13544445329470412402015-12-15T23:13:20.382-05:002015-12-15T23:13:20.382-05:00Thank you for sharing the whole story -- it has be...Thank you for sharing the whole story -- it has been a while since I heard it, and even then I don't think I heard the whole story all at once.

And, around here, lots of people DO "vacuum" their lawns -- with their lawn mowers, collecting leaves in giant bags to dump on the street for the city to pick up (and to blow back into their lawns, or their neighbors' lawns, and cause car wrecks, etc.) or to dump in giant piles at the back of their property and compost.LinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201009126846898608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-84320906092186889232015-12-14T12:36:36.907-05:002015-12-14T12:36:36.907-05:00I had that conversation with you on MPB Day!

This was so interesting!<br /><br />My blog name (Happily Caffeinated) has a similarly convoluted backstory, none of which is related to sewing, and obviously, as a sewing blog, my blog's name doesn't have anything to do with sewing. I haven't changed mine either, largely because I couldn't come up with anything better.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234279501973005511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-2557644709077448882015-12-13T22:36:12.303-05:002015-12-13T22:36:12.303-05:00Awww thank you James!

I imagine a lady teaching a class of very attentive ladies willing to learn the right way "and now, ladies, lower your pressed foot..." and everyone would do so and start sewing orderly. This is what I picture each time I read your blog name. I love that mental image ;-). But what is the real story behind that name anyways ? <br /> And I love reading your blog too by the way !
