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 :)

Last Day in the Mines (Nov 22)

  • Happy 11.22.11!
  • Today was my last day at work. It was sad, but with all the talk of inventory and crazy holiday schedules this week, I was okay with leaving. However, my biggest accomplishment of the 4 weeks I was there was that I was NEVER LATE. Not once. To my 5 a.m. job. Seriously, who can believe that?
  • I helped Carlee edit one of her papers tonight. It was good time "together" and it also reaffirmed my desire to eventually edit children's books...and therefore, maybe getting a Master's in children's lit?
  • Yesterday Carlee got my hand turkey care package! I was excited.
  • Watched X-Men: First Class and White Christmas with Melissa tonight. It was great because Cara doesn't like to watch those movies.

    woah lots to say:
    -I'm super proud of you not being late!
    -I'm still thankful for the fact that you like editing. I hate it. Therefore, Team Grad School wins.
    -HAND TURKEYS (the animation is still on google, too)
