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 :)

Only In The Movies (Oct 19)

  • Making movie trailers might be one of the coolest jobs. You get to make movies look super fantastic, even if they don't turn out to be that great. You match the action with music and introduce, but don't give away, all the characters. It seems kind of like making movies except not the same kind of hard.
  • When I "settle down", it will be in a big city (like New York) or in/around a small city (like Kalamazoo). I love both settings so much. Mostly though, I can't stand a commute or fighting traffic. It does NOT work with my impatient personality.
  • Rachel McAdams is in the new Sherlock Holmes!!!!!! I'm beyond excited because she wasn't in the trailer that was released this summer but she's in the new trailer. GAH SO EXCITED!
