It's too late for me to be up writing, but before I go to bed, I just need to say something about the insanity that decorative pillows represent. I told Stace that I wouldn't stay up to blog about this, but I lied. I knew I was lying at the time, and Stace at least suspected that I was lying. Here I go.
Why, oh why, do we have decorative pillows? It's hot in Switzerland right now, and we don't have air conditioning, so I wanted to clear a corner in the bedroom for the fan. Unfortunately, my way was blocked by a 300-foot high pile of decorative pillows. That's decorative pillows. You can't sleep on them. You can't use them for anything. I didn't realize that we had so many. Why do they exist? I didn't know where to put them. Stace informed me that I couldn't put them anywhere on the floor because they would get dirty. I ended up dumping them on the rug in Tanner's room because he's sleeping in the guest room on the sofa bed because he thinks that's a cool idea. Ugh.
It was while dumping a metric ton of decorative pillows in Tanner's room that I realized I'd been outmanned by Stace. I should have put a stop to this long ago. I didn't realize that she had spent all of our retirement savings on decorative pillows. This is just like the excessive coin thing with her. She amasses coins for no reason, and I've now realized that she does the same thing with decorative pillows. If I don't put a stop to this, in several years, she's going to be one of those people you hear about in the news who has 375 cats living at her house who hasn't had the carpets cleaned for thirteen years. I must draw a line in the sand. No more decorative pillows.
Wish me luck.
My parents were here for the past week, and I'll say something about that soon, but I just had to get this issue of my chest so I could go to sleep. Needless to say, I'll be resting my head on real pillows, not decorative pillows. Real pillows have a purpose. Decorative pillows are like doilies: all fluff, no substance, and no utilitarian value whatsoever.

Oh you are treading on some dangerous territory! Don't you go knocking the pillows.
Have you really stopped to think how sad and meaningless your life would be without decorative pillows? You don't even want to know!! Really. It's true!
You may think they are useless and a waste of time, space, money, the energy it takes to put them on the bed and then take them off - but they are a little pieces of beautiful fluff that make life just a little bit more worth living!
True story.
I can say all this becuase I have 9 decorative pillows on me bed. And four more to cushion my pretty little head.
(Stace, I've totally got your back on this one!! But I'm with Ethan on the air conditioning)
