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 Song That Jane Likes (Sept 21)

  • Jane Cecilia Hammond was born this morning! Yay, I'm so excited for Phil and Kristin. (They should feel honored: this is probably the one life event of other people that has not made me bitter since I don't know when.)
  • I got to sub at Wylie today and the 4th grade class I was in was great, not even counting the fact that I had two of my favorite kids from last year in it as well. They were quiet, smart and didn't give me any issues. At the end of the day, the students do "Celebrations," where they celebrate the positive actions and interactions that they see each other engaging in throughout the day. One student said she was celebrating the fact that I wanted to and could come in to be their sub today and she hopes I come back. It was so cute!
  • I was left the following voicemail from a principal with whom I had only spoken once before: "Hey Emily. It's Chuck Haskin, callin' you back. Phone tag is on. Your turn! I'll wait for your call. Bye!"
