Certain outlets have gone dead (Breakers all in tact)

My wife was using the vacuuming and what seemed like a simple act of
circuit breaker's just doing their job has turned into a mystery to me.

All circuit breakers are on. The outlets that are affected are NOT even
on the same circuit (i know this from the breakers go off in the past),
and some of the outlets that I know are on the same breakers as the ones
that don't work are working fine.

I have two GFI outlets (one in each bathroom) and one works fine and one
does not. I am truly stumped.

Any help would be appreciated.
