Ahhh-lone!

Darin went to Atlanta for work.

G&G Lowe took the girls for a few days of fun.

Guess what this meant for me?

You got it, Home Alone!

I had a wonderful time.

First, I went to a (slumber) party at Jennifer's for a wine tasting event.

She lives on a horse farm.

It was magical!

(the wine pro told us, wine was the closest thing to magic, so maybe that explains it?)

When I returned home,

I did yoga for the first time since my neck fiasco.
It was 70 minutes of beautiful reconnection to the sound of my own breath.

Then, I went thrift shopping.

Next, I watched a girly movie.
Then I got crazy and

I washed windows, weeded the yard, and cleaned the whole house.

The following day I went
super crazy and
started training for a 1/2 marathon.

I enjoyed the silence and stillness of my home.

I realized, I really like hanging out with me.

These few days were a precious gift.

I used to live alone and hated it.

Now, I treasure the time and space, with only me.
My family and my life returned to normal at the right time.
Or maybe just a day early?
I probably would have gotten to the cleaning out cupboards and training for an IronMan if I had any more time.
And that would be beyond crazy.
That would be insane.
