thoughts on the news of the day: true confessions

hmmm…..
            Today started out like any ordinary day.  On July 21, you expect it to be hot and not really very significant.  But I discovered rather quickly that today my brother-in-law and his twin brother celebrate their birthday, and more importantly, this is National Junk Food Day.  Maybe that means that the twins can have all the junk food they want today – and enjoy every bit of it!!  As a side detail, in conjunction with National Junk Food Day, it is also National Hot Dog Day.  I guess you could say that hot dogs are the granddaddy of all junk foods; so it is fitting that they would share the day.
            I was hungry after my meeting last night, so I drove through Sonic for a burger and tater tots.  I opted for a Diet Dr. Pepper to wash it down – hoping that maybe the calories of the diet drink would assassinate the calories of the junk food.  Junk food can’t be all bad, but I am not sure what is good about it.  Probably by the very nature of the descriptive word, it is by definition not very healthy to eat.
            Last Sunday we went to see the play, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  It reminded me of how much I love chocolate candy – enough in fact to finish off the left over M &M’s from the VBS we had last week,  I did that the day before yesterday.
            So I guess for me, it is National Junk Food Week.
            Now, if only the twins will invite me over for a big piece of their birthday cake …
            hmmm…..
