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 :)

I'll Make a Man Out of You

  • My kids LOVE watching Mulan. The 3rd graders even cheered for her after the "I'll Make a Man Out of You" scene. 2 stickers to Winter for starting that with them on Monday - it will definitely last all week.
  • Dinner with Abby :)
  • Walking home from the bus stop, an upper-elementary boy stopped up the street and waited for me - it was the son of Garden Lady! We talked in English until I got to my apartment. It was soooo cute. I swear, sometimes the older ones are more adorable than the ones in grade K-2. (In fact, the first grade girls who called "Teacher! Teacher! Teacher" at me during lunch just to say "HI!", when I was both eating and talking to another teacher, were downright annoying.)
  • Lazy, lazy night. I blame the weather. And loved every minute.
