Today is my first day back from the Social Media fast. I took a break from this site and Facebook for about a month. In addition, I gave up my games, to the chagrin of my boys as well.

It went by fast. I really didn’t miss it all that much to be honest. I think sometimes it is good to get away from things...to unplug.

One social media I did not take a break from was LinkedIn. I am currently job hunting and am hitting up my contacts on there to ask for employee referrals. They have some pretty good articles on there too.

I didn’t miss the games that much either. I played a few rounds of Candy Crush this morning. I don’t think I’m as good as I used to be, but I’m sure with practice, I will get better.

I am glad to be back and hope everyone has been doing well.

Love it

  I quit playing any games online when I started working full-time. I decided the games (I was a serious farmville addict) took up too much of my time. And my daughters were really starting to make fun of me. “Sheesh, she can’t remember her dentist appointment, but she knows what time she needs to harvest her fictional asparagus.”
