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 :)

Rocking at Hogwarts

  • Happy September!
  • I watched Ellen today. It was a rerun but JG was on (and played/sang), there was an HP preview (Jen made fun of me for being excited about it, even though I've already seen it), plus Ellen gave $ and a car to a woman who really needed it (it made me almost cry! And Jen stayed in the kitchen because she was crying). Also, Halle Berry told a story about how she thought she lost her daughter in the department store, so Ellen gave her a life jacket with a 5-ft flag on it and "If found, return to Oscar-winner Halle Berry" on the back. Hilarious.
  • I saw a Sherwin-Williams paint delivery truck. Their current ad campaign is "Cover the Earth". Somehow, I don't think it's a good idea to promote covering the planet in paint (even if they do have sustainable practices).
  • I listened to HP7 on CD, in order to honor the students boarding the Hogwarts Express and returning to school today. (Okay, not really. But I saw a friend's status on FB and stole the statement because I was already listening to it.)
  • I did not get the Portage job. I am disappointed, relieved, apprehensive and grateful all at the same time. I have great friends and family who say all the right things <3
  • Staying at Anna's tonight to wallow and watch Morning Glory :D

    I freaking wish I was spending my birthday at Hogwarts. That would be awesome.
