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 :)

Ms. Bell's Song (Nov 26)

  • Today was the Bell Thanksgiving at Laurel and Roger's and it was fun to see the Bell family, especially since everyone (but Katie :/) was there :)
  • It's become a tradition in out family to drink Jim Beam in a toast to my great-grandparents, because we know that they used to drink it when they were young. It appears my tussle with whiskey is over...it didn't make me want to hurl! Phil was proud when I told him this.
  • Jill and Elaine made the polish roses this year. (I don't remember a family event without them, though I've only just started eating them.) They made 335 of them! We found that was past the Bell Polish Roses Intake Point, as lots of people brought the extras home. Not as many next year.
  • I talked with Melissa W on the way home and we are realizing more and more how similarly our brains work, especially when it comes to boys and recycling.
  • When I got home, I hung out with Phil, Jason and Justin. They mostly played video games but it was good just being around them (plus they talked to me every once in awhile ;)). Oh, and I'm supposed to bring home a Korean husband for myself and 10 North Korean wives for Justin, otherwise he'll be mad. Also, when I asked if they wanted to try my Pear Cupcakes, they were all like "Eh, maybe one." When I left, at least 30 were gone.
