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 :)

Sound of Eve

  • Happy Birthday Eve to me!
  • Went to HomePlus to go grocery shopping tonight. But first, for dinner I had a donut. And then I bought myself a dress that was on sale :) I got some really good things grocery shopping too, including everything I need to make rice cooker banana bread (which is currently baking).
  • Missed my bus stop on the way home because I was enthralled in The Help (love it!). Once I realized that, I thought I'd thwart the system and get a free ride back from the next stop, but I forgot that only happens if you transfer to a different bus, not the same one (like I did). But oh well, it was only a $1/20 minute mistake.
  • I am now in the process of making rice cooker banana bread! The batter was not as yummy as my BanANNA Bread recipe, but it might be better than nothing...we'll see!
  • I have had a realization about reading books made into movies and watching movie versions of books. I have decided that I really like reading books after I've seen the movies about them. Everyone knows the books are always better than the movies (except for A Walk To Remember...didn't like that book). If you read the book first, you are likely going to be disappointed by the movie (though, in cases like Harry Potter, you will appreciate the effort anyways). But if you read the book after seeing the movie, you will be so happy with how good it is! And the book will probably make more sense. This has happened for me with Pride & Prejudice, Eat Pray Love, and now The Help.
