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 :)

The Art of American Football (Sept 10)

  • Game day! We won! The visiting band (from Alabama State) was fantastic. Definitely different from anything we do up here, but very cool. And the EMU band sounds and looks pretty good (PP and I were a little persnickety but there's really not too much to complain about).
  • To celebrate PP's birthday, Cara, PP and I wandered around Ann Arbor while most of it's population was at the Big House. We ran across a Notre Dame fan who looked directly at PP's EMU football shirt, raised his hand for a high five, and said "Go Irish!" I high-fived him but did let him know that we weren't Notre Dame fans. He looked incredibly confused, probably because of his high level of inebriation.
