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 :)

Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) (Aug 13)

  • Woke up at 8:30 (after going to bed at 4:30) and packed and moved stuff for 6 more hours. My dad is awesome. He moved most of my heavy things, let me have breaks (even if I didn't need them) and didn't complain/was really positive all day. He even unloaded most of it back in Kzoo, because I arrived after him.
  • Stopped at Wesley Woods to get my Starbucks mug, en route back to Kzoo. On my way there, a huge storm passed over and I just kept thinking that a coffee mug is a really stupid reason to die in a giant thunderstorm. (It didn't end up being that bad.)
  • It was weird to be at WW without going for camp. And since I was just there last week, it was definitely a deja vu moment. But it was fun to see Mitch and Jon. I love the people I know through camp. Ken even found me before I left to see if I'd found my mug.
  • Learned that boys are not necessarily very good at code-talking, especially when the girls they are sitting next to know exactly what they are talking about.
  • Jason took me to dinner at Fandango and one of the thing we ordered was (get this) rabbit and rattlesnake sausage! It tasted okay, but my brain just kept thinking, "WHAT ARE YOU PUTTING IN YOUR MOUTH?" We got ice cream afterwards.
