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 :)

Theme From The Apartment (Aug 31)

  • My week at the day care has been an adjustment, but there were some highlights: 1) The playground has one of those mushroom fountains and, since it was 95 degrees this afternoon and one of my flip flops broke, I got to wander around in the water barefoot with the kids. 2) I was in the 2.5-year-old room, which I love because they are cuddly, relatively easily consoled and take naps. AND 3) One of the boys I played with on Tuesday put a taco and cheese into a coffee maker and said he was making grapes. True story. 
  • Tonight, Cara and David were awesome enough to try one of the Korean restaurants I found on South U this week. I got 냉면 and it tasted like "home" - I mean, until I actually tasted the noodles and they tasted like a box. But the 김치 saved it...eating that reminded me of with my Korea loves :) 
  • I have an apartment! It's not fabulous yet, but it will be when Cara and I are done with it. Chloe (my lovely kitty) and I will enjoy all the closet space but we hope for lots of visitors because it might get lonely sometimes. There will be lots of movies, baking and sewing that will happen there - at least after marching season is over :)
