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 Paddle My Canoe

  • Our canoe trip today was awesome! It was so fun to do something as a staff outside of the center. It also honestly helped us with the communication skills we discussed yesterday. And we were in boats based on our teaching teams - so I was with Maya and Cindy (other subs) and we were the "Super Subs" :) Plus, I finally got some BEAUTIFUL fall pictures! I'm very excited to get caught up on my picture-posting...
  • Anna reminded me that she was staying over tonight and I was so excited - a visitor! We ate yummy popcorn, watched the debates and fixed my yoga pants :)
  • Oh and I reported an attempted car theft on my way out of the parking structure. Ahh! It was kind of scary, even though I just passed by. I have no idea if it was real or if they caught the guys if it was. Good thing we had our "Active Shooter" training this morning!
