I thought that today I would vacuum, my house.  And as I thought about it, I remembered the last time I vacuumed and how poorly my vacuum sucked.  So, I thought I should replace the bag.  When I opened the vacuum up, much to my surprise, there was no bag.  I have been vacuuming for the past 7 months without a vacuum bag.  What greeted me was a condensed mass of cat hair, dust, litter and general disgustingness.  I have always thought of myself as smart.  Today proves just how wrong I am.
