The post in which absoultely nothing of value is shared

It's Wednesday already? Seriously?

Our house was hit with a virus and head cold last week and this week, forcing Madeline and I to watch way too many Disney movies on the couch and eat Ricola throat drops like candy.

Sidenote: Why does Tinkerbell's skirt have to be practically non-existent? Apparently modesty is not an attribute of the fairies in Pixie Hollow.

Moving on to other really important stuff.

I love Cool Burst Tylenol Cough and Cold. Like, head-over-heels, want-to-guzzle-it-down-all-the-time love. That blue stuff is awesome. (This might be the drugs talking right now.)

That may not be really important to you but I'm telling you, that little container was the highlight of my week.

Another highlight is that I'm currently leading in the family bracket tournament. Since I have Kansas winning overall, I'm pretty sure this will be the only time I can lead but I would still like to take this moment to say "BOO-YAH!" to some people that I love so dearly.

This morning, Madeline and I spent two hours perusing the aisles of Wal-Mart just because it was our first outing into humanity in a really long time.

And we literally perused. We soaked in all the beautiful items in the Easter section. We spent a good 30 minutes in the princess/Barbie/anything glittery aisle. We stared at the fish tanks and watched in horror as one fish ate another. (Seriously, it was hard to look away but, oh, so disgusting.)

I bought Madeline some brightly-colored pipe cleaners for $.97 and she hugged them to her chest like bars of gold for the rest of our persuement around the store. I love that she is so easily pleased. (I believe I just made up "persuement.")

There's really no good way to wrap up a post of weekly highlights that include Tylenol, brackets and Wal-Mart so I'll just say that next time I write, I promise to write something of value.
