Confession: I discovered this weekend that I have not balanced my checkbook since Sept 2007, nor do I plan to start.
Confession: Mendel was a topic in the class I was AI-ing this morning. I got this weird "awww Mendel" nostalgic feeling. (Yes, it's weird. No, I can't explain it.)
Confession: My feet are in love with the new space heater under my desk.
Confession: I hate apartment hunting. I also hate moving. And packing. And unpacking. However, my dislike of my upstairs neighbors overrides all of these.
Confession: There is an open word document where I should be writing a conference abstract right now. The blinking cursor is mocking me.

Thanksgiving
In a nutshell...
1. Grandma's Thanksgiving dinner. Mmmmmm. Best ever. She made my favorite cheese potatoes AND mashed potatoes. And turkey and noodles. My stomach was so happy and already looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.
2. Dinner conversation. My favorite quote: "Man, you googled the hell outta that, Grandma!"--my cousin, after my grandma disappeared for 15 seconds and came back with the answer to what years JFK was in office.
3. Nap time. Dozing on the living room floor, barely conscious enough to hear the Patriots come back to win over the Lions in the 4th quarter. Boo. Also occasionally interrupted by my brother and cousin talking football and/or pelting me with pillows.
4. Dominoes. The game, not pizza. 9 family members, occasional trash talk, competitive sides surfacing. Made it through 5 rounds with everyone still speaking, we quit while we were ahead. Grandma wins, I got 2nd.
One of my favorite Thanksgivings ever I think. :)
