Everything, including your creative muse and love of writing, can burn out if it never gets a break. LOL of course, my head knows that, but that pesky guilt comes along no matter what I tell myself. Luckily, I'm getting better at ignoring it ;-DMichelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110160045151463659.post-45348288535858310522009-08-06T12:44:55.534-05:002009-08-06T12:44:55.534-05:00Time away? *she pumps fists* We can do that?:) Sou...Time away? *she pumps fists* We can do that?:) Sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Hey, come to NC and you can be on this REAL farm. I'll give you some jobs to do. We'll start with cleaning the chicken coup. :) Then take the stuff you just cleaned out of the coup and spread it on the gardens. Oh and there's horse poop to pick out of the pasture and stalls. I'm tellin' you, where would I be without all this poop? Take your time off and be refreshed my friend. Oh and help poor Frank out some. Okay? :)Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110160045151463659.post-75290668945004251002009-08-06T10:51:28.015-05:002009-08-06T10:51:28.015-05:00It's so true!

Woo-hoo. I just noticed a bunch of posts lately about people taking 'time away' and thought I'd do a post about it. : )<br /><br />Marybeth - are you going into withdrawl since BB is down . . . again!<br /><br />Elana - I never could get into the whole Sim fad, but I love Farmtown!!
