Vacuous Marketing (Now That I'm Back from the Dead)

Some nasty little diarrheafest germ passed through our household, felling me on Thursday and the rest of the family on Friday. The Hubster got to use the emergency frozen pizzas for dinner on Thursday, leaving me to actually cook on Friday; since I was the only one up to eating, this was not the major chore it could have been.

Spending the entire day with a really, really cranky, whiny, teething baby, however, was übermajor. 

Everyone except Divagirl Eight is back in the saddle, which sucks robin's eggs for her because she has a birthday party to attend today. (And she was the only sickling unfortunate enough to spew out the top exit and not just the bottom one.) Here's hoping she'll be better in three hours--make that two; I'm not sending her to a party with vomit in her hair. Her butt-length hair. Yes, it's a much-dreaded, fiercely avoided Hair Washing and Braiding Day.

Which nicely segues into today's vacuous marketing slogan, spotted on our dandruff shampoo:

Active from the first wash ... whereas other dandruff shampoos wait to see if you'll stick with it first?
