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 :)

Beer For My Horses (Oct 8)

  • Today, I had to explain to one of my kids today that beer is not for children, after I asked him what he was doing and he said "sitting here watching the cars, drinking beer". I had to repeat "Beer is for adults, not for kids" at least 10 times and try to appropriately answer the resounding "Why?"s without laughing. It was quite a challenge.
  • I met Erin's equestrian instructor and her husband - we talked about band and I found more proof of the 6 degrees of separation.
  • Hung out with my sis - whom I haven't seen/hugged since Christmas and haven't just hung out with in I don't know how long. I also helped her start writing a letter/proposal to businesses to be a corporate sponsor for the MSU Equestrian Club...I pulled out stuff from TBS and it reminded me how much fun TOTW with Anna was (and good we were at it).
