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 Great Day Has Arrived

  • Bank tellers are quickly becoming my new favorite type of people...today, mine (a girl this time) asked me if I was a dancer. I said, kind of, that I started taking classes in college. She was like, "I knew it! The way you walk and stand, and your hair in that braid thing, you just had to be." It was so awesome. I secretly love it when people tell me that because it's my dream, in another life, to be a dancer.
  • I found this sandwich shop on 4th St. in Ann Arbor and the sub I got was so good! And the sandwich shop girl said I made her day, just because I gave her $21 (my bill was $6) so that she could give me change in fives, because she was running out of ones.
  • I got to eat lunch with Cara before practice.
  • Because of all these great things, I had a ton of fun at practice (a lot more like I used to, I was realizing...not sure what has changed...but that's a different, more somber train of thought that I'm not going to investigate right now), even with the crazy weather. Got lots of hugs from my girls and had fun watching their animal interpretations of the dance in Fur Elise. Told Jackie I was going to make her a sash that says "INJURED" so the judges don't get confused about why she doesn't have a flag. Made Mike laugh, which is always fun, because sometimes I don't think he does it enough. Talked with Laura about the transition out of HS and HS band. It was a great afternoon.
  • I love my guard girls and my drummers. Yes, they are MY drummers :)
