First of all, hello from a fellow East Central IL college townie! :) I just found you a couple days ago, can't remember from where I bounced.

Vacation is for what makes you happy - if writing and blogging makes you happy, do it...if a break from it makes you happy, take it. I need a break from the "entire social media realm" and, well, from pretty much the world's population, so when I vacate to Florida in a few weeks I am planning to disappear, electronically-speaking. I can't wait!
