Tip of the day number 2 in regards to coffee: When your daughter over turns the garbage can, and fresh wet coffee grounds fall to the floor…DON”T VACUUM it!

In an effort to keep little miss quick hands out of the spilled coffee grounds I grabbed my little Shark Vac, you know those little electric sweepers that look like what we used to call a Hokey? Yeah… well, it vac’ed up real nice real quick… Since I was in a hurry I just set the Shark aside and went back to cleaning the rest of the kitchen (well, after creating a coral in the living room for Vienna!) Then I grabbed the Shark to put it away… humm… some grounds are on the floor, maybe I’ll sweep them up…

The whirl wind of coffee grounds that followed was a site to see. It went everywhere!! Apparently, since the coffee grounds were still damp, what really happened was that some got into the vac container, but most of it settled and stuck in the corners of the brush housing… so when I turned it on again coffee grounds spit out back all over my feet, onto the carpet, all over the kitchen. For now, the Shark sits outside on the porch until I can muster up the energy to clean it out. Maybe it’ll dry out the grounds and be easier to clean… so… lesson learned
