Traditionally Thanksgiving is on the third Thursday in November, also meant I had two days off work. Naturally being a 'temp', I didn't get paid for those days, but it was nice to have a 4 day weekend.
Being the English guest, I thought it would be fun to bake the Pumpkin pie. Here is my effort. I shared making it with my Wife.
We had a big dinner at my sister in laws. There were nine of us!
On the Monday night, niece Julia took part in a local School parade around the town of Winchester, several schools and clubs took part, and it was awesome to see Julia at the front of her school. It started at 7pm, and we were lucky to arrive on time, driving all the way from working in Reston / Herndon.
On Friday, I had two interviews for the job I am temping in. First was with my boss, who was 25 minutes late, and the second was a telephone interview with a manager from another office. This chap was 50 minutes late. Not the best preparation I have had for interviews.
This weekend, we're putting up the Christmas Tree! There will be two. I've brought in the large one from the garage, this will go in the main front room, and Vicky and I have our own Christmas Tree. I am especially looking forward to putting this one up, as Mom bought us a personalised bauble last year.
Last Christmas, Vicky and I were separated of course, and we spent a lot of time with each other over the webcam. I watched Mom and Vicky set up our Christmas tree, and it sucked. It was nice to watch, but to not be a part of was awful.
