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 :)

Drink of Choice

  • I ordered a Medium Iced Caramel Mocha at McDonald's today and received a Large Iced Mocha. Win some, lose some.
  • Anna helped me write more guard work this afternoon. As such, I didn't spend the evening putting it off and I won't spend tomorrow morning wishing I'd done it last night. Sometimes we actually help each other (instead of feeding each other's procrastinitory habits).
  • I had an interview at Tutor Time in Canton today. It went well and it seems like a good place to work. I enjoyed the people I saw/talked to and the location. Now, I have to wait to see what happens. Then, I have to make decisions - i.e. day care vs. subbing. 
    • Day care: fun, less stressful, consistent, less money, less flexible, more driving/miles on the car/commute time, will miss long-term sub opportunities and subbing in Dexter.
    • Subbing: not always fun, often stressful, more money, more flexible, potentially less driving/miles on the car/commute time, possibility of getting a long-term job that will be more fun and relevant to getting a teaching job.
  • Enjoyed time at Cara's with Cara (her family) and Carrie :)
