I tried to comment on your blog, but it wouldn't let me. It says there is some form of html parsing error (I tried in firefox, which is what I usually use, and it didn't do anything then I tried in IE and that is where it said the error). I just wanted to let you know!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795668965659926769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-80970945397953474942009-07-20T12:53:26.900-07:002009-07-20T12:53:26.900-07:00@jennifer- yes, with the first week down it has be...@jennifer- yes, with the first week down it has been very nice to get some stuff done that I hadn't had time to do.<br /><br />@leigh- too true. although, the goal I gave myself in my post to spend 4 hours a day didn't quite pan out as I had lots of other things that needed to get done. I think I got a total of 10 hours in, which is better than none. But I've got another whole week out there AND my massive to-do around the condo list is now much more manageable. <br /><br />@charlie- I have a list too (it's 105 things). I think it's great that you are making a list for yourself, too! Although, "freedom" is a relative term. Still had LOTS to do that wasn't optional :-/Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795668965659926769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-33214917535903062152009-07-19T05:04:05.227-07:002009-07-19T05:04:05.227-07:00Hey :) at least you may have a bit of fun, despite...Hey :) at least you may have a bit of fun, despite your & your company's bad luck. If I had a couple of weeks of pure freedom.. I'd make things :) lots of things :) things i don't have time to all the rest of the time.<br />also I'd try to cross a whole bunch of things of my list :)<br />(the list in my blog.. in case you didnt look, haha, it would make no sense)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643728906435388394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-83638125438393701992009-07-13T09:09:53.760-07:002009-07-13T09:09:53.760-07:00An at-home vacation is not a vacation to a writer...An at-home vacation is not a vacation to a writer, but it is a great opportunity. I'm on a nine week vacation from school right now and life has been more hectic than ever. My first book launched a month ago and I've been running around on a busy national tour to promote it. So far so good my book's selling really well, but as for vacation... I've also been invited to blog regularly for two media outlets which is fantastic, but I should be working on my next book which is due out in 2010... <br /><br />If you're online on Thursday please visit my new blog on www.thecurzongroup.com where I'm posting regularly every Thursday. I'd love to have some American visitors there.Leigh Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080517449825380527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-69676269453521365832009-07-13T07:25:01.562-07:002009-07-13T07:25:01.562-07:00Two weeks of freedom?
