I found a new type of adventure

*disclaimer* there are no pictures and just me reflecting, so if that is not interesting to you now is the time to stop reading.

Seriously you can still stop.

OK...if you're still here: 
Finishing up a much needed week long fall break and I discovered a newish type of adventure. I can't remember the last time I stayed home for an entire week of vacation.  The furthest I went was Wal-mart, Tucson, and Tubac. 


I am the first to admit that I am not good at sitting still.  I like to DO ALL THE THINGS and take advantage of the times I am not asleep at 8pm and working for hours on the weekends by traveling and visiting loved ones. This vacation I stayed home for a couple of reasons and wasn't really sure what to expect.  I had no plans except for me, myself, and I spending some time together (and yes I realize how corny that sounds). 

I knew it was something I needed to do and here is what I learned/did:
1.) I finished three books and am working on a fourth called Reconstructing Amelia that I am having a hard time putting down.
2.) Fell in love with the Great British Baking Show on Netflix and finished the entire 10 episode season.  FYI: biscuits are cookies, you whack the temperature up on ovens, and I will now be using the word fiddly to replace cuss words.
3.) Made some art...which I feel very successful at doing

I really didn't know what to expect going into this, but I did learn that sometimes the greatest type of adventure starts at home with me.

If you are still reading I challenge you to spend some time with just yourself and see what happens! What is your great solo adventure?
