- Well, Anna and I decided around 11:30 that we needed to start packing the apartment (we actually decided this earlier in the day but forgot until later...). So we ventured to Starbucks, (in all likelihood) scared some U of M students with our blaring Backstreet Boys karaoke, came home and got started. It's now 5 a.m. I packed 7 boxes in the office...and, honestly (and unfortunately), it doesn't look like I did much. Oh, packing. Anna was Wonder Woman and decided to sort my huge collection of recyclables. She's amazing. I'm not sure whether I'm going to go to bed now or do more stuff and wait for nap time later...At least we know we are still capable of pulling all-nighters :)
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 :)
