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 :)

Irony In The Shadows

  • Today, I picked up my mail (and other things) from my dad. A few months ago, I ordered a necklace on ModCloth and asked for it to be delivered to me in Korea. About 6 days later, I got an email saying my package had been sent back because they couldn't deliver it to my house (Really, ModCloth? The package got to Korea and back to America in less than 6 days?), but they couldn't tell me why. So they sent it to my American address free of charge. When I opened the package today, I found the necklace and an adorable pink striped bow! It was labeled with 2 sticker: "A Free Gift From Us!" and "Made in Korea". That MAY be the most ironic thing I've experience in quite some time.
