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 :)

Asian Delight (June 17)

  • I talked to this awesome Asian woman in JoAnn's today. I helped her pick out fabric and then she told me about her giant greenhouse and the vegetables that she grows. But the best thing, was what she said about birthdays. She was adopted and doesn't know her exact birthdate, so she just pretends every day is her birthday! When her husband asks her why she bought something, she says it was a birthday present for herself. Pretty sure this is my new mantra for my life.
  • I'm watching "The One with Joey's Fridge" because my fridge is broken. It makes both the episode and my current refridgeration situation much funnier. (FRIDGE UPDATE: It's dead. Not really that funny anymore, even with Friends :( But Trudy and Carter are wonderful and I'm so grateful for them.)
  • I experienced sparkly sidewalks, crazy teenagers and Xmen (I liked it a lot) in the bizarre mini-town in North Ridgeville, OH with Jason.
