Shaun and I went to visit our families over the long weekend. My little brother graduated high school and we were there for all the surrounding festivities.
It was fun. It really was. We are so lucky to have great family and friends who love us and want to spend time with us when we are around.
We got in Thursday evening and spent Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in full social mode.
By about Sunday morning, I just wanted quiet and a mound of books.
And here I am. Tuesday. Home, where it’s quiet. And (thanks to a thrift store trip with my in-laws) I actually do have a mound of books.
Oh the anti-social part of me is in heaven.
I had this xkcd comic saved on the computer to show you at an appropriate moment, and I think that that moment has arrived:
This Saturday night, me and my book have a date.

I can totally relate to that comic! Friends, husband, and relatives just don’t understand. A great Friday night can be spent with a good book. Good luck finding some quiet time.
Good comic, lol
Others just don’t get it do they. On Sunday I was standing up outside a kids bouncy castle reading while my daughter was having fun. A few people looked at me and said ‘it must be good to be standing and reading’
