Ahhh... do you hear that? Silence.

My sister just took off with my parents to go looking for yard sales to check out, which means that I have a few hours of blissful silence to enjoy and the only thing bothering my quiet if the tapping of the keyboard and the quiet tick of the clock on the window - the clock is precariously close to going out the window.

It is rare that I get to just relax and lounge in silence without the TV or someone calling me. I usually have to wake up around 4 in the morning to get this kind of restful peace. Today I get a few hours of just being alone and enjoying the time to get my scattered thoughts all reined in and enjoying the silence. It won't last long enough.
