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 :)

Creative Juices (Jan 10)

  • I started reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes last night and it's pretty fantastic. I love Guy Ritchie even more for the movies he created, and Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law for their acting, because it's so much like the book. Good job, boys.
  • I think I talked with Anna, via Skypes calls, at least 4 times today. This makes me happy :) Also, she updated her blog this evening, and everyone should read it. I love the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants post and the one about her great-grandmother...I mean, anyone who can say "her possessions had been distilled to her most treasured relics" rather than "gotten rid of most of her crap" can just be considered a fantastic writer.
  • 200th post :)
