25 nov 2010 (th) Thanksgiving day

woke up at around 7:00 on turkey day mommy usually wakes up at 9:00. i got something to drink and ate a banana in the morning. watched the today show and the beginning of the parade. took a short nap and woke up at 9:30. i went to check on mommy. she was awake but was not yet up. asked if she wanted hardee's for breakfast.

scott, glenn, and amanda arrived around 2:30. chatting and watching glenn's cowboys. cowboys doing badly in the first half. we went to williamsburg (ft. magruder crowne plaza) at about 4:30. surprised that we had the place to ourselves.

dinner

small salad
ham w/ gravy
turkey w/ gravy
stuffing w/ gravy
sweet potato
spinach
green beans
rolls w/ butter
iced tea
decaf coffee

huge quantity of food. they brought you a first serving and you could have refills as you liked. first serving was overwhelming. i did not finish everything. turkey and stuffing were especially good. mommy and i had the turkey. scott and glenn and amanda ordered from the regular menu. we had the dining room to ourselves and could see the cowboys game in the lounge. cowboys mad a pretty good come back so glenn was pretty happy.

s&g&a went back to richmond from billsburg. wouldn't make sense to go back to nn for 15 minutes and then re-cover the same drive. nice visit,  if short.

i was groggy from the turkey on thursday night. i remember watching big bang theory for two episoded. fell asleep on the coach at 10:00. woke up at 11:00 when mommy  went to bed. slept well until about 1:30. woke up with bad heartburn. had a little ice cream and club soda. couldn't sleep.

watched origin of wolverine. c- at best. d if i'm being honest. found godfather ii after that. much better. slept again from 4:00 until about 7:30 . fell asleep again and slept soundly from about 8:00 until 10:30.

snack

cheeseburger
iced tea

at hardees in stafford. mostly stopped to go to the bathroom. drove from exit 133 of 95 to 295 to 64 at that stage. wanted to keep going as long as the traffic was clear. got to new kent about 40 miles from nn and stopped partly from hunger partly from thirst and partly from a need to go to the bathroom.

lunch

small salad
steak and cheese
iced tea

pretty good food at a place called antonio's or something like that. alternative was dq. arrived in nn before two.

just me and mommy on wednesday. chatted and watched a bit of tv. mommy usually eats fairly early so we went to steve and nick's at around 5:00. very nice waitress. german or swiss accent. said her daughter was making thanksgiving dinner for the first time the next day.

dinner

salad w/ blue cheese
scallops over rice
french fries
coffee (decaf)
iced tea

scallops were excellent. fries so so. i got fries because i remembered them being particularly good at s&n. didn't really like them this time. lots of scallops though. mommy had salmon and said it was also good.

watched tv and talked until about 11:00. we pretty much stuck with mommy's normal schedule of shows though i did have to veto survivor. i think we watched cold case instead.

slept on the sofa. house very hot. aimed the fan right at me. used the tv as a night light. slept pretty well.
