I'm not unemployed anymore - I actually have a very fabulous job as a preschool teacher with the University of Michigan child care centers. But I'm still posting, albeit a little more irregularly, and I don't want to ignore the personal progress I've made since starting this blog by renaming it.

Blog inspiration: I read 48 States in 48 Days by Paul Jury in the summer of 2011. It was fabulous...although he planned way less for his roadtrip than I would have. And at the same time, my lovely Anna was constantly reminding me that our lives were awesome, despite the fact that we didn't have job prospects, new cars, boyfriends/husbands, houses, etc., like so many people we knew. So, in an effort to appreciate my life and the crazy uncertainty that it is, I started writing this blog about the little adventures I have. (And by "writing a blog," I mean "making a list" because I make lists, not narratives.) Even if there isn't a BIG adventure that happens every day, I try to find at least one thing to list :)

This Dress Kills

  •  Annie told me that I was her role model, which made me feel so amazing.
  • I got my Teaching Certificate in the mail! It's the most expensive piece of paper I've ever owned.
  • I had to mail a some of my camp forms today. Anna and I pulled up to a stoplight and there was a mailbox at the bank on the corner...so I hopped out of the car, ran to the box and back, and got in the car before the light changed.
  • We were serenaded by some hobos outside the library ("Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful").
  • We found a great consignment shop in Canton and the women who own it are so much more pleasant than anyone who works at Plato's Closet. I got black, pin-striped dress pants that are LONG ENOUGH! And found an AMAZING dress that I will wear to future fancy engagements with my rich husband:

  • We got free food at IKEA, part 2!
