Daily Newsie

So far today, I have eaten the following:

* A slice of Entenmann’s raspberry cheese danish
* Three servings each of stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes, baked corn and green bean casserole
* A slice of pumpkin cheesecake
* A slice of apple pie
* Various and sundry snacky-type vegetables
* One forkful of shoo-fly pie, which I did not like
* Three bowls of popcorn while watching Wall-E at my brother’s house

My poor stomach is groaning at me while I write this, because it knows that as soon as I figure out where my father hid the leftovers I’m going to eat one more time before bed. I seem to have developed a head cold over the past few days, and am doing a serious scientific study to see if the “feed a cold” maxim is really true. OK, I just made that up. I really do have a head cold, but I’m just a pig who likes to eat a lot.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! More tomorrow.

EDIT: I almost forgot – a few colleagues and I submitted a panel to the Central States Communication Association on family communication, and it was accepted! I’m going to St. Louis after all! It’s not until April, so my thesis will be written and I’ll be the world’s foremost expert on family communication and cancer, and hopefully I won’t make an idiot out of myself. Whoo!
