Oh Connecticut, when are we going to become friends?

This weekend I decided to try staying in Connecticut (stop laughing). My stuff had been all set up in the hotel from the week, I knew I was going to have a late night at the office on Friday and some work to do over the weekend. Plus I made plans for a training session at the gym Saturday and brunch with the girls on Sunday, and all flights out anywhere that I wanted to go were over $500.. so I decided to stay.

I’m always complaining that I never have time to relax, so I thought that I’d take this opportunity to give it a try. Well, turns out I’m really bad at relaxing and really bad at being alone. I desperately tried to fill up the time and call everyone I know in CT to make plans... mostly unsuccessfully.

I ended up going to REI garage sale, working, having brunch, and exploring the trails around CT. Over the weekend I think I ended up hiking around 15 miles.. (which will be a nice warm up for our upcoming trip to Norway!)


I really shouldn't say that it was a bad weekend by any means, it just was a clear reminder to me why I decided to become homeless.. So I could have the freedom to go anywhere and wouldn’t ever have to find myself wandering around CT wondering how to pass the weekend.
