It was a strange feeling to wake up today and carry out my normal work day on Thanksgiving. I survived working on the US holiday but still abandoned my desk at 3pm so I could finish my day by thinking about all of the things I am thankful for from my couch. The move-out activities have begun and the rental company is taking back my flat screen and DVD player on Saturday morning. It will leave me without a tv for 20 days and a true challenge. I haven't decided yet what I will stare at when I am drinking my wine on the couch. It is not on the top of my list for things I am thankful for.In honor of the holiday I rounded up all of the ingredients and baked a few pumpkin pies in order to introduce the joys of Thanksgiving tradition to my UK colleagues. The act of finding canned pumpkin was a major victory and the reaction to my baked goodness was a success. I'm not sure I totally convinced them on celebrating turkey day, but I definitely introduced an appreciation for pumpkin.
