'Glad to hear that I'm in such good company. I thought I was the only one to get so excited about being home alone. DH goes ona fishing trip 4 times a year for about 10 days at a time. I prepare by getting the house really clean, stocking up on foods that I like and can fix quickly. Then I make sure my sewing room is in perfect order. When he leaves, it's straight up stairs to work non-stop for 10 days. I agree that it's like a mini retreat just for me!
'Got one coming up next week. WooHoo!
