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 :)

I've Got Plenty To Be Thankful For

  • Today has been a great day:
    • First of all, I got to stay in my sweatpants, moccasins and AAHOM t-shirt all day.
    • Because of my Macy's sleep schedule, I woke up early enough to watch all of the parade. I love the parade and someday, I will be awesome like Krystle and be in it. I have come up with several ways to make this happen, so one of them is bound to work.
    • Me and Erin hung out and made hand turkeys, which also turned out completely adorable. I was really excited that she made them with me, because none of the boys would (plus it meant we got to hang out).
    • In addition to the parade and football, I (we) watched the original, 1947 version of The Miracle on 34th Street. It is quickly becoming one of favorites, just like White Christmas.
    • My dad and Barbara and Barbara's mom made fantastic food for today, everything that Thanksgiving should have.
    • Because today was nice and relaxed (and I wasn't consumed with EDMT projects this year), I spent some of my time making more fabric flowers. I love it, they turn out so cute!
    • I got to hang out with everyone in my [immediate] family today.
  • Barbara's birthday was today and falls on Thanksgiving every few years...how cool! (since those are 2 of my 3 favorite holidays)!
  • Macy's Justin Bieber Black Friday commercial > Kohls' Black Friday "Friday" commercial. (I actually really love the JB one. And, yes, I purposely did not attach a link for the "Friday" one.)
  • And to think, I could be one of the crazies out shopping RIGHT NOW. Instead, I'm curled up in my bed, ready to watch HP7.1 :)
  • Happy Thanksgiving!
