My Hermit Long Weekend

Brad went to his friend's house in Pemberton this weekend. So everyone was asking me what I was going to do. When I would reply "I'm not leaving the house" I got nervous laughter.

But I'm serious!

I love spending time with friends, family and of course my husband. But often I just need to be alone. I don't mean for half an hour. I mean for days. So when Brad announces these trips to the mainland, I mentally mark my own calendar too.

Friday night I stocked up on all the groceries I needed, made sure I had enough food and littler for Ziggy etc.... I shut the door and knew I wouldn't leave again until Monday afternoon when I pick Brad up at the ferry.

I've done lots of great stuff! Slept in, read tons, listened to copious amounts of music and tonight I'm planning on curling up in bed with a Jane Austen movie.

I also bought these earrings and this necklace. I wanted something really simple and found this fantastic shop.


I remember seeing this great quiz a while ago so I just took it and I'm Elizabeth Bennett! Woo! Hoo!

I think it would be interesting for someone to take it who isn't familiar with the characters. Here is the link if you're interested.

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend!

Oh gosh, I need a weekend like that soon. I've been go go go all summer and around people so often. I hope I can have at least a hermit day. I'm glad that you took advantage of your time to yourself!
