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 :)

My Funny Valentine (Feb 14)

  • Happy Valentine's Day!
  • I got to open my gift from Dad and Barbara today - it was filled with chocolate, socks, valentines, tea, glow bracelets and a really pretty card. It was perfect.
  • Spent extra time with Shelby today. We talked about different things, ate a lot of chocolate, and watched some BBF.
  • We also played different card games with new friends. Some people we'd met and/or played with before and others were totally new - it was great. AND everybody loves SET! I mean, they hate it but they don't want to stop playing it. It's so funny!
  • Also, Leon wanted to practice piano but a couple was watching a movie in there. He was like, "I don't have the balls to kick them out...Emily, you go do it!" I took that as a compliment :D And someone else told me that I was a good teacher (after I taught them how to play Set).

    That's a really cool project Emilio! I haven't had a chance to buy any postcards yet but I will try to send one along when I do. Have fun getting more stamps!
