alone time

36 Hours

by Kay~Kacey on 4/25/2008

So, what would you do if you had 36 hours. ALONE. In your house??

Well yesterday I found myself in this position! SuperGuy was out of town. The male offspring are gone. So what does a woman do with 36 hours to herself?

Well, I work from home, but I can tell you this, I did NOT do a minute of work!

violets growing in the woods

I went out to the woods and discovered violets spreading through the woods behind my house.

I cooked grilled panini cheese bread. I played music way too loud and sang along. Then I turned everything off and enjoyed the quiet. I pulled out my guitar, unused for YEARS and played it. (couldn’t find my bag with all my sheet music in it though, have you seen it?? ) As an aside, I did find a folder of snippets of quotes that I’ve had since my teen years and some old photos from when the boys were little. Stashed in a drawer, not with the other pictures where they belong. 🙄 Had a great time looking through them.

I researched macro lenses online and browsed through some new to me photography forums. I knit some on a bright red cotton dishcloth. I messed with photoshop.

Here, you want a close up? You’re welcome.

I danced like a ballerina in the kitchen.

So I adore SuperGuy and my boys. :love: Really I do. I miss them. Sort of 😉 But 36 hours alone in my house is such a luxury! I stayed up late, slept on SuperGuy’s side of the bed…with ALL the pillows.

So if you had 36 hours alone in your house, what would you do??
