The most wonderful time of the year (for blogging)

Here's what to do with your blog while you're on vacation.

Apparently, most bloggers worry about losing momentum or their fan base while they're away from work.

It's funny; I tend to blog more while I'm on vacation. Maybe it's because I'm a student and not actually employed, but I'm extremely busy up until the holidays and barely have time to write. And when I actually do blog during the semester, I can't help thinking that I should be studying or working on that paper I've been putting off rather than writing in my blog.

Now, I'm carefree! And so the blogs abound. Lucky you.

Parting is such sweet sorrow

Just got back from an amazing weekend. Vacations are bittersweet for me. On one hand, I really need a break in the middle of a semester so that my brain doesn't explode. On the other hand, a vacation usually stops my momentum, and it takes me a while to get back into the swing of things.

But the mountains were beautiful. And I saw snow. And I slipped on ice and landed flat on my behind. And I saw (what could have been) fairies. And I bought a peck of apples that ended up rolling down a hill. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend.

Now, it's back to reality.

By the way...

I'm gonna be MIA for a few days. I'm headed to the Blue Ridge Mountains for some R&R. I'll be back on Sunday with pretty pictures and hopefully enough energy to keep me going until Thanksgiving break.

So, Happy Halloween!
