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 :)

Love/Hate

  • Well, today turned into a bust. I hate that, because it didn't really start that way! I blame traffic. Apparition would solve many problems.
  • But I did get my fancy EMU license plate in the mail! And I didn't even have to go to the post office to get it! I'm excited to put it on my car :)
  • And there's a little girl at work with whom I have the following conversation almost every time I see her:
Girl: Is that a necklace/earrings/bracelet?
Me: Yes:
Girl: Can I have it?
Me: No!
Girl: Why can't I have it?
So cute :)
  • Question to ponder (responses welcome): What happens when the thing you love is acting like the thing you hate? When you replace "thing" with "person", the answer is a little more straightforward, at least to me. Any ideas?
