This is the second Starbucks bear added to my collection.  I got him from the first Starbucks store at Pike Place Market in Seattle.

Just like Ken, Kris also came from the Mitsukoshi department store in Taipei, Taiwan.

Ken is also in my bear collection.  I bought it in the Mitsukoshi department store in Taipei, Taiwan.

 I have been very skeptical about this cute little thing that claims to do the cleaning for you.  I thought how could this tiny machine suck up all the dog hair and cat hair in my house.   Both animals shed consistently.  It’s terrible.

When Michele came to visit a couple weeks ago, I was complaining about the amount of the animal hair in the house.  She told me to get a Roomba.  Now, Michele has 10 dogs of her own but her house is spotless.  Actually, it is beyond clean.  Indeed, I HATE HER.  She said that she could not live without a Roomba.  She has one on each floor and runs them every other day.  “No more worries about dog hair,” she exclaimed.  I was amazed.  But I was also convinced.  If this cute little round thing can pick up 10 dogs’ hair, it will be a piece of cake to clean my house.

Yes.  I want a Roomba.
