STAYCATION

 So after a lot of thought I've decided on a new swap theme:

STAYCATION!

I dont know about y'all, but I need a vacation! Like a "far away from my life" "run away to the far corners of the earth" kind of vacation. 

 

`I wish I was here:

 

or here

or here

or here

Le Sigh. I wana be on a beach, swimming, drinking fruity drinks, just relaxing with a good book. 

Keeping in mind that I am living at home, trying to save money (and not succeeding) and dont have the extra cash to just fly away for weeks at a time, I stuck with just googling photos and wishing I was there. 

So Ive decided that I need a staycation. I need to take a saturday and just relax. And I think my readers need a staycation too!

Tagged!

Hey y'all

so one of my favorite bloggers - Pearls Curls and a Southern Girl got tagged with 8 questions and she tagged all her readers, so Im gonna answer her questions :)  

1. Why did you start blogging?
I started blogged in high school, with live journal and xanga because it was the it thing to do any everyone else was doing it (terrible reason I know, but I was young). Then I got introduced to twitter in the summer of 2007 I think, when twitter was still very new. I noticed some people were blogging so I figured Id try it. I didnt stick with it though. My last semester in college I came up with the ATL Yankee Belle twitter name and thus my blog was born. :)

2.  What would your dream career be?
