Anyone else ever take some time off away from YA?

I have been gone from here for a while and now am back. What did you accomplish when you did this if you did? I finished a crocheted afgan, put on a dessert buffet for a convention at my work... I mean I made all the goodies too. It was awesome.. three buffet tables of desserts...did the decorations etc..I baked for four days... cheesecake, cookies, brownies and bars...even a pie section. But the best part was two chocolate fountains.. one with dark chocolate and the other with white chocolate...yummie....!!!!!!! I got alot done.
