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 :)

Memory

  • Baking often isn’t as easy when one doesn’t have biweekly bake sales to contribute to and 2 roommates who will eat the extras. Meh, I made rice krispie treats anyways ;) 



  • It’s amazing how much our memories are triggered by our senses. All my friends make fun of me for how much insignificant smells remind me of events and memories. And when I listened to Mumford & Sons tonight, I was flooded with memories of driving to Farmington, fall sunshine, working at Macy’s, and living at Cara’s/in Ann Arbor from this fall. Despite the stress leading up to September 2011, I actually really miss that period in my life.
