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 :)

Vegetarian Mumbo Jumbo

  • More awesome rehearsing today :) I'm excited for the girls (and everyone) to keep getting better this week. But it's only Tuesday and we already know 3 numbers!
  • Anna and I were goofing around with the rifle today...I REALLY wish I could learn it for real.
  • Orlando is going to help me find flag sets to borrow for the season. I love having connections and amazing people who help.
  • Anna had a yummy-looking veggie option at dinner...and then we realized it was stir fry made with this morning's eggs and yesterday's peas...I wasn't jealous after that.
  • Maya pulled out some sassiness today and it was so funny and unexpected! Can't wait for her to come out of her shell more this week :)
  • Dave (Burgess) is amazing. There was a washer stuck in a pole cap so I asked if he had a pocketknife to get it out. He said no but then he took it, threw it on the ground and it popped out! It was so cool. I asked him how he did it and he was like, "Don't worry about it, I'm an engineer." It was awesome.
