- Winter and I met up with Ashley for dinner tonight - we tried to go to the restaurant owned by the Garden Lady's sister. We had loose plans to eat dinner with them tonight, but we didn't see the Garden Lady after school (though Winter and I did get walnut ice cream instead - mmmmmm), her sister wasn't at the restaurant when we went and it turned out the restaurant was just a place for drinking! Oy. So we went downtown for chicken and ice cream and a little shopping instead. It was yummy and fun to just hang out (and pretend Winter is out of "jail"). Plus the whole evening was basically a Korean lesson, Ashley and I exchanging phrases we've learned and Winter making sure we say them correctly, and teaching us a few new ones.
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 :)
