30 Days of me - Day 4



day 4- a habit that you wish you didn’t have


 My worst habit I have is I eat when I bored. I try and chew gum so my mouth is busy but so often I just wonder into the kitchen, grab a snack and much without thinking. During college this was my favorite pastime and I have gained a lot of weight from it. I wish I could kick the habit but its really hard.

30 Days of me - Day 2

day 2- the meaning behind you blog name

so the name of my blog is Atlanta Yankee Belle

I guess it comes from living in Atlanta for 6 years then on and off for another 5 years. Its the place Ive live the longest. I was born in Greenwich CT, so I am a Yankee, especially because my mom is from upstate NY and my dad is from Michigan, so between them I am very much a Yankee. But Ive lived in the south for 9 years, plus 2 years when I was younger, and I really get the southern way of life :)

on another note, I want all of my reader to go visit Preppy Pink Crocodile and give her some love. Shes having a ruff half birthday and she needs some support!

A daily scoop of Chaos

Oh my goodness, I now follow 106 blogs and today it took me almost 2 hours to read them all! lol I'm grateful that not everyone blogs every day, or I should be turning this into a full time career.

It looks like I will be doing 3 blog posts today (is that a little excessive?) I sure hope not!

well my new found friend over at Flip Flops & Pearls tagged me with this

I am not gonna lie, I've seen this on a lot of blogs recently and I was hoping someone would tag me :) and now that someone has, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that I answer these questions for you, my dearest readers :)


1. What's your signature color? 
I guess it would be pink. If I buy something, and it has the option to come in pink, 9/10 times I will buy the pink one. But I don't wear pink as much as I used to, but then again my nails are always hot pink. So I guess its pink :) sorry its not very original, but it works for me :)



2.What's your most embarrassing moment?
ugh - this is the only question I didn't want to answer. I know this may sound bad, but nothing really sicks out in my mind for this. I have been embarrassed plenty of times, but I guess I just choose to forget those memories. Wait - one just came to me. I was a junior in college and I was turning 21 so I decided to have a nice party and print up some invitations. I just found one so I will type verbatim what it said:
PINK CHAMPAIGN ANYONE? 
raise your glass and give a cheer
Bridget's 21st is here

if you didn't notice the massive typo, CHAMPAIGN should have been champagne. I have a learning disability that makes spelling very difficult for me, so I'm thinking out of kindness no one pointed out the error. So we're all out to dinner and my DAD of all people points it out! needless to say I wanted to die!



3.Would you ever get anything besides your ears pierced?
I want to get my belly button pierced but that only looks good on a tone tummy, so that will never happen. And I'm thinking of getting a small diamond stud in my nose.



4. Are you a social butterfly or a homebody?
I'm a little bit of both, I can get shy around new people so I get scared about going and meeting them, but once I do I'm a total social butterfly



5. Are you done having babies, or do you want more?
I don't have any but I do want to have at least 2



6. Do you remain loyal to your hairstylist or do you try every new one in town?
I used to be the most loyal girl in the world. I went to Shelia the 2 years I lived in Atlanta, then every summer for the 7 years I lived overseas (yes, I would travel 3000 miles to get my hair done) then all through high-school and college.  In college I started to try a local girl, Misty and she was amazing, but now I'm 4 hours from her so I'm looking for a new, affordable girl .



7. How many times have you moved in your life?
well let me count... 13 times



8. If you could plan a vacation with just you and your love, where would it be?
 Australia

and now I need to tag 5 ladies  -

1. Holly at A Cajun Belle
2. MKH
3. Mrs MFC
4. My dear friend MRM at Preppy Girl Meets World
5. High Heeled Life

5 on friday

 
 
1. How many pets do you have?
none - but Im hoping to get a dog from a friend of mine in 2 weeks and Ive very excited!

2. If you could switch places with anyone in the world for one day, who would it be?
My friend Julie's hubby. that way I could spend a day with her :)

3. What is your favorite money saving tip?
Shop at goodwill and other local thrift stores!

4. What do you want your kids to be when they grow up?
I dont have any kids atm but I want them to be college graduates and be happy

5. What is your favorite quote?
If you dim your light so someone else can shine, the world gets darker
