Silence is Golden

I wish I could post a clip of how quiet it is in my house right now.  This is the first time in - well, ever - that hubby and I've had the house to ourselves for an extended period of time.  The kids are gone for a fortnight, and I bowed out of watching the NBA Finals at my in-laws.  I am officially alone.  To mark this occasion, I'm enjoying a virgin screwdriver (also known as orange juice), watching The Kingpin, and basking in the sweet sounds of silence.  Ahhh.  I'll miss my kids in a day or two, but not just yet.
