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 :)

Riding on a Bus (Mar 11)

  • We all woke up at varying times this morning (Deanna even got up at 8 and did that stupid exercise we learned at English Village)...I think they played cards before I woke up but, once I was awake, it was Project Breakfast (French toast with caramelized pears). It didn’t taste as good as I thought it would, but it was so fun for us all to work together to make it (well, except Joey). And it wasn’t terrible. Then we played Uno (with VERY interesting/complicated Christian/Aussie rules) and then Jeanette and I watched music videos while they played an even more complicated game (along the lines of Fluxx, but with a regular deck of cards – just didn’t have the brain capacity for it this morning!). It was really chill and relaxing.
  • After that though, we had to head to the bus station. We had to say a quick goodbye to Ruby, Deanna, Christian, Chanda, Joey, and Kyle because their bus was about to leave just a few minutes after they bought their tickets. It was kind of like goodbye at English Village all over again! Just because there were so many of us there and I don’t know when we’ll all be together again. Plus, this weekend was just fantastic. And no one wants to say goodbye to friends that make a weekend fantastic.
  • So Jeanette, Joe, Olivia and I sent our friends on the bus and then went to find lunch. We were waiting for the elevator...for what ended up being more than 10 minutes! So long that Olivia had to go back to the bus station to catch her bus! Oy. So Joe and Jeanette and I decide to find the escalators to lead us to lunch.
  • HomePlus is a store here that is almost exactly like Meijer...so I love it and go there way too often.
  • After I got home (to my pitifully empty apartment), I realized that my guests were awesome on another level! The only thing I had to do to clean up was make my bed and wash a few pans from breakfast. I love my friends :)
  • New Sherlock episode tonight. I really love this TV show – get it, BBC!
