North Carolina, Day 3

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was a pretty low-key day, as a holiday should be. K and J went to Raleigh and illegally ran in an 8K Turkey Trot. E and I were supposed to go to yoga, but we slept in for too long. Not a bad alternative, really. Mom made us breakfast -- ebelskiver filled with your choice of Nutella, peach jam, black cherry jam, or lemon curd. I had all 4 kinds, and they were all delicious :-)

E's boyfriend B came over and we started working on a puzzle. B wasn't too interested, but the rest of us made some pretty good progress throughout the course of the day. It's a picture of a castle somewhere, and all that's left to do is the sky, which is, of course, the hardest part.

K worked on her paper all day and made lots of progress, but needed to take a power nap with E's dog -- whose claim to fame is day-long power naps -- for her final motivation.

Dinner was delicious, if somewhat nontraditional. We had a Mexican Thanksgiving, which included Mexican rice, enchiladas, frijoles, cerveza, and pumpkin cake. After dinner we watched Chocolat and worked some more on the puzzle before calling it a night.
