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. :)

Life Update

After looking at my phone to figure out what day it is I figured I might as well drag myself to my laptop and write a post about my life at the moment. I went home to Atlanta for the weekend, just to get away from this horrible town. I drove over an hour to meet a women who said she wanted to take Rhett (according to my apartment I cant have him any more and I owe them $250 + they might decide to evict me). She changed her mind when she saw that he needed to be groomed.

I went shopping and bought some things for my various blog swaps and a few gifts for some friends, only to come to find out that a check I got from selling a friend some clothing bounced so I only have $60 till the 1st of Oct and I need gas and groceries.

Looks like I wont be going to see Luke Bryan because I cant afford a $20 tix.

I was fully prepared to find a part time job today, I got up early, unpacked a load from my car and checked my mail to get a nice letter from UWG saying they dont want me. After 2 interviews and me telling them all my knowledge of phone centers, they chose to hire someone else. So that dream job Ive been praying for every night and Ive blogged about multiple times, ya, didnt get it. I now have the letter hanging above me desk.

So right now Im sitting in front of my computer, my home is a mess, I cant afford to buy gas to look for a job, I have no job prospects, I have no puppy to comfort me, JAB is at work and doesnt know about the job yet, my parents are "disappointed in me" for not getting the job, I still have no friends here, Im broke, my bff AT is coming to ATL this weekend but cant spare 10 min from her boyfriend to even see me, I keep getting invited to events back in my college town, my college bff JSO is not only married but preggers and due in dec (so much for our holiday plans). To say that Im not having a good day, week, month, year, would be pretty exact.

Oh and to add to my stress, my period is late and Im panicking.

Now im headed back to my car to get my blanket and pillow and Im going to sob in bed for a few hours.

Oh ya - and bc I dont have a job I cant afford to go to the doctor to get more anti-depressants, so things are only looking down.

Im calling this post TV Tuesday

o its Tuesday, and I will admit, I had to actually look up on my cell to make sure I was right, its been one of those days. I HATE HATE HATE being unemployed! Ive had a few leads on jobs but its a sit around and wait game :( I sent the admissions director and assistant admissions director of UWG hand written thank you notes for interviewing me. Im hoping the personal touch reminds them of me and they hire me (please keep your fingers crossed). I also had an interview scheduled with Kids Peace about a month a go, but it had to be rescheduled. The thing is, they never called to reschedule it :( so Im calling them tomorrow to find a time to interview.

but the topic of this blog is TV. Becuase I dont have a job, Im not making any money, so to keep myself from spending $$ I dont have, I am staying in and watching A LOT of TV. I keep losing track of the shows I like to watch, and what night they're on, so I decided to take a piece of plywood and my new found love of chalkboard paint, and created this!

It hangs on the wall and I can change it when ever I need to. I have the show name, the time and the channel its on. It may be ugly but for right now I really like it. Im also going to show you some of the cute stuff I found at Target last night but I DIDNT buy... which was super hard.

 

I love love love this! You can put your own monogram in!

 

I wanted to get these shoes so bad! But even on sale I knew I didnt need them so I passed :( very sad
