Better than a turquoise box with white ribbon

AJ's asleep. DH is at his fantasy draft, as I'm sure many husbands are this weekend. (At least I hope I'm not the only one abandoned for buffalo wings and Peyton Manning.) I have set the oven to clean, and now... what do I do for 2 hours?

Tick.

Tock....

Tick.

Tock....

What is this strange quiet? The stillness of TIME? Nothing's moving. No one's head is spinning. No large appliance is whirring. Everyone's fed and watered. Church? Obligations? Appointments? Nope, not 'til tomorrow. Not even one to-do list item jangles in my mind. I'm totally available to just... sit here and, I don't know, stare out the window for a while.

This. Is. Awesome.

Silence is hard to find, I know! Enjoy it in all its splendor!
