So I just took my second Roomba class and I must say it was a lot less painful than my first class!
A couple of years ago, I was at the health club and wandered into a Roomba class that my friend Christina Godwin was teaching. There were 20 or so women in the class, all dancing and laughing and having a great time! Unlike most men, the thought of being the only man in a room full of women sounds fun to me, so I slipped in at the back of the class.
Christina is an amazing dancer and instructor. She had everyone in the class feeling like they could be the next contestant on "Dancing With The Stars," including ME! I was bustin’ a move better than Vanilla Ice! Or so I thought. I was watching Christina and the other women and following their lead. Unfortunately, just as I was feeling the groove, I glanced over in the mirror and saw my groove. Not a pretty sight! I tried valiantly to continue on, but some things seen cannot be unseen. As we Roomba'd around the class in line, I sashayed out the door, a dejected but a wiser man. No more Roomba for me.
Fast forward to last week when I was in Bed, Bath & Beyond (I always like asking the person working there to show me where the Beyond section is located.) and I came across the iRobot Roomba 770 Vacuum Cleaning Robot. Hey, now THIS is a Roomba I can do! With a dog that sheds 5 pounds of fur a week, I figured I can use all the help I can get!
So, I purchased the Roomba and brought it back to the house. When I took it out of the box, I discovered the directions were on a DVD. Wait a second; I have Netflix. I don't use a DVD player! So, being a guy, I ignored the directions and winged it. Now I have a Roomba that "cleans" in a continuous 4-foot circle!
Oh well. I wonder if Christina is teaching no mirror Roomba classes nowadays. I'm tanned, I'm rested, and I'm ready!
