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 :)

Like A Professional

  • We had professional development at work today, no children. I was expecting it to be a little boring but it was actually pretty great. The lecture that we had in the morning was a lot about communication and I felt quite comfortable talking with everyone and expressing my weaknesses - which is hard to do at work, I think. I was also able to ask a lot of questions about curriculum and planning. One of the teachers has been really helpful in explaining a lot of things to me, and this continued today. A lot of the teachers are very helpful :) And everyone is so nice. It's been great getting to know everyone. And I'm excited to be going canoeing (yes, CANOEING!) tomorrow for more PD :)
  • Panera bagels for breakfast and a Brown Jug quesadilla for lunch made me very full into the evening soooo...cake and ice cream for dinner!
  • Watching Mary Poppins! I was planning to watch Sound of Music too but I forgot how long both of those movies were...
  • I miss shopping in HomePlus. The ladies who work there are so friendly. And I loved the discount produce shelf.
  • After working on my personal records of my check register for an hour or so tonight, I compared it to the bank's online records...the totals match! Woohoo!
