I'm about to head to Afghanistan, where it will definitely be easier to be on Sabbatical from Twitter, Facebook, and the blog world. Unfortunately, my job involves me being on a computer for at least 12 hours a day! I think mandating "No Technology" nights in our house makes for a better relationship between me and my husband!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889719452365396763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-52070605568073160902011-12-11T16:46:49.996-05:002011-12-11T16:46:49.996-05:00i TOTALLY agree with you!!! i just took one (was n...i TOTALLY agree with you!!! i just took one (was not on Friday, sat, and just got back on today!) i def try to do this every other week or so. i def notice a HUGE diff when i am not so depended on what i need to blog about or what is on facebook. def a refreshing thing to do! i def will be doing it again in a few weeks (maybe even next weekend!!)<br /><br />http://infinitelifefintess.com<br /><br />http://mscomposure.blogspot.comms.composurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635319552787315251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-39251433904362266842011-12-11T04:56:51.844-05:002011-12-11T04:56:51.844-05:00Very gutsy - I so need this.
