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 :)

Learning To Add Is Fun (Dec 21)

  • Was able to get some Christmas shopping done today. I'm getting a little better at the gift-buying thing.
  • One of my kindergarten girls hugged and said to me, "Thanks for helping us learn." It was so sweet and made me feel both great and guilty - as this morning I was more than a little cranky with them (not her in particular, but the group in general).
  • Got to see Phil and Jason for like 2 minutes in a dark parking lot. Phil gave me money and Jason wondered aloud how safe it is for me to be going to Korea at this time...it was all very sinister.

    In response to Jason, I was wondering if you may actually be able to see N. Korea now that they are leader-less. That would be so exciting!
