Kim, Really great blog post of yesterday, but I feel I must take issue with one thing you mentioned.

It is not critical that you have an intimate relationship with your vacuum cleaner. Trust me. Occassional dalliance perhaps. Maybe a casual fling, but anything more just takes time away from important stuff. Like needlework.

I've always considered that with all the yarny bits on my floor, I'm extending the life of the carpeting.

You've had a wonderous year. Allow me to be the first to ring your New Year in with thunderous applause.
