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 :)

Girl on the Roof

  • Today was Day 1 of Painting a House with Carlee and Kristin. It's a good thing that we are doing it for someone we know (Kristin's uncle) because we were quite the spectacle, attempting to power-wash the house and connect the hose to the power-washer and use the sprayer, while it was raining...I think anyone else would be having second thoughts about our abilities. Also, I got to be the one who climbed on the roof to wash the siding above the garage...it was scary!

  • I'm drinking water out of a color-changing cup!
