Home Alone

This weekend my sweet hubby left Mr. Bennett & I home alone... He had a pretty tough week at work and needed to get away to enjoy one of his favorite things... FISHING :) The weather was beautiful and so far he says he has been having a blast!

As much as I dislike being away from my hubby, I think this weekend came at a perfect time. As I mentioned in my previous post about needing a "makeover", I also feel I needed a little "re-charge". Lately I've been putting off my to-do list and have been getting really burnt out on my school work. I also make myself too busy doing "other" things... Even when I was single I never let myself enjoy quiet time to myself... I used to make myself anxious if I didn't have plans or didn't have someone to hang out with... but honestly I think I really crave a little time to myself... so that's what I decided to do this weekend...

I worked yesterday morning and then came home to plan the rest of my quiet weekend (yes a little strange, but I just like to have a game plan haha) I started to work on some homework (only 2 weeks left of this class so I'm trying to stay on track!)... Bennett was a good boy and enjoyed his new treat of peanut butter inside a kong... best purchase ever!

After a couple hours of studying, I wanted to get out and enjoy the beautiful evening so we went on a nice, long walk. Then I went to church :) Always so refreshing! Another great message... I most certainly left feeling recharged. Next I went to target (always a favorite!) and just took my time looking around... even though I probably have everything in that store memorized I just love going there... I think I bought two small things (a magazine & pretzel m&m's <-- yum!)... I picked up a salad from Bread Co & headed home to my puppy...

After finishing my dinner and taking Bennett on a short walk, I put on my sweats and headed to bed! I turned on one of my favorite "chick flick" movies, Failure to Launch (that would normally not be chosen if my hubby were home) and cuddled in the blankets in my amazing bed!

Bennett did not hesitate to take over Dan's side of the bed...

I woke up this morning with so much energy and was excited to get the day started! My hubby should be home around 6 so I have a lot I want to get done before then :)

My plans for the day are:

• finish hw for the week
• run with bennett
• finish all laundry
• clean the whole house
• get Dan's car cleaned
• treat myself with Starbucks :)
• run to the mall for a few things
• grocery shopping for our meal plan for the week
• make dinner for tonight
• bake! (wish me luck)

Here's to a productive Sunday! :)
