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 :)

Not the Doctor (August 25)

  • I got a call from the principal at Amberly Elementary (in Portage) and have a job interview set up for tomorrow! It's crazy. I think I'm excited. I know I'm frustrated that I had a plan and it might not be what happens now. Oh well. I'm going to the interview. Worry about other things later.
  • Took my car to the doctor today and it needs a new alternator. HOWEVER, the best part about today (including the getting the interview) was that my car reached 200,000 miles!!! It was very exciting.
  • Cara and I saw a fender bender happen today. It was crazy and we just kept remarking about how dumb the car that caused the accident was.
  • Tonight was our first football game/performance. The girls (and the band) did a great job. I always expect them to get everything right (it's perfect in my brain, why isn't it perfect in real life?) so it's disappointing when it's not completely together and right. But that is an unrealistic expectation. They truly have shown an amazing amount of growth and learning this summer and I'm very proud of them. :) Also, I love them a lot. (I also love the band kids too.) It was a little bit sad tonight because I had this feeling that the season was already over. I know that's not true but I think that the recent developments in job prospects made me feel like it could be over (for me) at any time. I don't like that. I did like the drive home tonight though; there were other cars on the highway but no jams and few stupid people.
