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 :)

The Hostess With The Mostest

  • Spent lots of time with Lucia today :) We made brownies, played with the Bananagrams tiles and Set cards, took pictures and she told me stories. We also all (Rolando, Maria, Carmen, Lucia and I) ate pizza at a very yummy pizza place. It's been so great getting to know them :) (Oh and boy can Lucia is scream...)
  • Carmen made a fruit salad (banana, mango, cantaloupe and kiwi) today, and then put mozzarella cheese on it. It was very interesting - I liked  the flavor that the mozzarella gave the fruit (esp. the cantaloupe) but I didn't really like the fruit flavor on the cheese, if that makes sense.
  • Carmen kept trying to apologize tonight for not being a good hostess, because she didn't take me anywhere in Austin...but I wouldn't (and won't) let her! I have had a great time, it's been a mini-vacation and has somehow managed to relax me about going to Korea. (Although I still have to go home and pack...) Plus, it's nice to have someone to lounge around and read with :)
  • Okay, I may be watching too much Korean drama at one time because I am seriously starting to fall for the main actor guy...

    Foreign dramas are the BEST, did I ever tell you about the Indian soap operas we watched in Senegal?
