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 :)

Funny The Way It Is (Sept 3)

  • Today was a great last day of a long weekend. Katie texted a little after I woke up asking if I wanted to get breakfast. Since I was about to indulge in blueberry buckle and coffee, I invited her over and she was there about 45 minutes later! We talked and got caught up. I miss her and wish I could see her for more than a few hours at a time - but, at the same time, I'll take what I can get and any time we are together is always well-spent :)
  • After breakfast, I went over to the Hammonds' to hang out for a while. Kristin made a yummy lunch, Phil agreed with me about how credit - and the fact that you need it to be financially trustworthy - is stupid, and Jane was adorable and let me play with her. And when Jason came over later and was playing video games with Phil, Jane would go over to his computer and push a bunch of buttons and it was so funny to watch. She kept pushing keys that actually did things and Jason feebly threatened and told her not to do things, while also telling her what to push to help him out. It was adorable and hilarious.
  • Sidenote: I had Maroon 5's "Phone Booth" song stuck in my head all day
  • I engaged in a "sunset chase" on the way to Mom's. I drove on 94, then to 9th street, then to West Main. It was fun and worth it:



  • I'm really lucky to have a best friend who struggles with a lot of the same things I do - we can't solve each other's problems, but it helps to be able to talk about them together.
