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 :)

Looking Down At My Reflection (August 30)

  • I was so distracted about The Phone Call that I almost spit toothbrushing suds into the garbage can tonight.
  • Today when I was wearing my sunglasses, Ella was saying "Hi" to her reflection! She then also did it (or tried to) when they were on top of my head and I was sitting on the floor (I got a little confused when she started talking to the top of my head). It was so cute.
  • I got to see Krystle tonight! We baked cookies and primed her room for painting (transforming it from seafoam/lime green to something more relaxing and tolerable - lavender I think).
  • I'm so blessed to have amazing women like Jen and Liz in my life who care about me and take care of me like my own mother, not because they have to, but just because they love me.
