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 :)

Stepping in Your Shoes

  • Finished my quilt today! I'll post pics after I give it to the recipient, so as not to spoil the surprise :)
  • We watched more HIMYM today, including "Slap Bet"! Love it (and was singing the Mall Song all afternoon/evening). Carrie made fun of me and Cara for calling it "HIMYM", but it's fun to say.
  • Carrie, Cara and I were trying on shoes in Macy's. I put on these really cute green/blue tweed Rocket Dogs and Cara came around the corner with the same pair of shoes and said, "Do you like these?" I said, "Look down" and then we laughed a lot.
  • Wore my bright purple tights today and was complimented by a worker at Macy's. I also wanted to apply my employee discount to my FroYo (which quickly became FYo, and then just Yo) but I don't actually work there yet, so that wouldn't have worked so well.
