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 :)

Ain't That Good News

  • I got the job at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum! The hours aren't consistent and I won't get to be back in Kalamazoo this year :( But the experience will be good, I can still do Farmington and I won't be in Kansas :)
  • I was also asked to interview for the Tutor Time center in Canton, and set it up for after band camp. Maybe that will work out too?
  • I called Kansas to follow up with my interview. The principal was very nice and said he hadn't called me yet because somewhere between my interview and him calling my references, the job was offered to someone else (I'm guessing, internally) and they were waiting for that person's response. I told him that even if he had called me, I would have told him I couldn't take it this year. He said thanks for my understanding and that my references spoke very highly of me. I asked him to keep my resume for future job searches, and he said yes and asked me to keep them in mind when I'm searching in the future. Good connection made I think.
  • Nate Karnemaat is going to be my minion at camp next week! So excited :D
  • I saw a Google Street View car today in Ypsi! It had this huge waterproof camera on top and a California license plate. It was so cool! (I love Google, so I'm probably way more excited than I should be, but I don't care.)
  • Watching Lady Gaga on SYTYCD, especially on Wednesday, reminded me of my new love for her. She's so crazy but she seems so real too and she has real thoughts and ideas about stuff; her critique of the dancers was so authentic and helpful. Plus, her voice is amazing. If I ever had dislike of her before, that's just totally replaced by love now.
(Thanks God!)

      I'm so happy for you!!! Just means I have a good excuse to visit A squared.

      BTW, there should be no doubt about Lady Gaga's awesomeness. Seriously. She's awesome.
