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 :)

Stop Smoking Because It's Not Good For You

  • We had a field trip to a very small farming community today. I'm not sure if it was an actual village or not, but their community leader was really excited that we were there and wanted us to make sure we shared our experience there with everyone we know. We were supposed to rotate through 4 activities, getting an hour at each one, but for some reason we got really rushed through all of them and even ended up leaving early. A little disappointing, because the people seemed like they took a lot of time to prepare for our visit :/ But nonetheless, it was a great day and the activities were pretty cool.
  • I didn't realize how "spoiled" I've become, with the Smoking Ban in Michigan. It's terrible being in a place where people can smoke inside and near doorways into buildings! I can't imagine how anyone can smoke anyways, and now, if I go out, I have to smell like it once again >:(

    bummer about the smoking! This post reminds me of a restaurant that I ate at while in Italy... seriously, it was so smokey inside that when anyone opened the door it would pour out into the street (gross)
