The time I had nothing to say but typed anyway

Ah, the comeback post. Leaving the blog for a couple of days = mounting pressure for the perfect, most hilarious return post.

Yeah, that's not going happen.

I think I have so much to say about our trip to Dallas, leaving Madeline behind for the first time and surviving without my top five People.com stories on my Google home page.

But every time I sit down to write, nothing comes.

So I added a few photos from the weekend. And the only captions I came up with were:

hanging out

the sisters minus one

love this girl

Gripping, I know. Where's my Best Writing blog award?

So then I think I should talk about how much Madeline missed me after leaving her for three days. But since I called at 10 a.m. one day and heard she was watching Winnie the Pooh in Grandma's bed while eating popcorn, I think I'd be lying to say she really missed me.

Maybe I could mention how nice Dallas was considering it was in the 70s on Saturday. But it feels like a distant memory after shoveling five inches of snow yesterday.

Well, I could mention how exciting today was since I was going to finally, FINALLY see Emily's new baby girl. Oh, but then it got postponed.

Then Jaime asked me to go with her to hear Kate Gosslin from Jon and Kate Plus 8. That should be super-exciting and so blog-worthy.

Until Madeline threw up in the car seat on the way. Massive amounts of vomit. Sorry to be graphic but my afternoon was graphic.

So in the end, all I can say is I spent my afternoon cleaning Madeline's car seat while watching "Ever After." But that would make me lame so I won't.

To save this pathetic post, I will pull something out of my arsenal. Whamo!

Is it sad it makes me think of Jenny? Which if you made it this far, reward yourself by reading her post on Wal-Mart. Unlike this one, it's hilarious and well-written.

I had a New Year's goal to post every week day. So don't ask me how I'm doing on pilates...
