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 :)

Voices of Old People

  • I have an interview at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum on Friday! I'm kind of excited for it - the job would be a great and unique way to gain teaching experience this year without actually having my own classroom. Getting this job wouldn't solve all my problems but it would be helpful.
  • NBC's "Making a Difference" campaign story tonight was about a 100-year-old man who is still practicing medicine. He sees patients regularly, has 3 children and also plays the violin. His advice to people was to fall in love and get married, have lots of sex, and (if you have them) make children a priority. His wife is still alive (and is as adorable as he is) and they just celebrated their 70th anniversary. I want to be them.
