This round’s Blogkadahan theme is “Beginnings.” I started off the round with the piece “Memoirs of a Former Party Girl”. Would anyone like to share stories over Cosmopolitans and tequila shots?

I’m on vacation. *please join me in this giant human wave… woohooo!* This short rest will be the perfect opportunity to reconnect with my family (who I hardly see), my pet fishies (who I hardly talk to now, but they are well-fed in case you’re wondering) and our home (which I’ve been decluttering little by [...]

Let’s play our second caption game! Think of a caption for this picture and post it it in the comments section. Get those creative juices flowin’! Here’s the pic:
