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 :)

Pandemic by Nature (Nov 23)

  • Today was an amazing day of seeing friends-who-are-family. Plus, I started the day with baking/cooking (sweet potato casserole), so that's awesome too :) Oh and no crazy Black Friday shopping :D I'm cool with that.
  • We had a BKC Thanksgiving get-together at George and Linda's house. First, it was all cleaned up and there was new old furniture. It looked so great. Didn't get to see the upstairs but...someday :) Not too many people came but it was wonderful hanging out with George, Linda, Greg, Ben, Reese, Katie, Amanda, Jason, Justin, Charlie, and Krystle. We had some yummy food, too - though, mostly sweets, so around dinner time, we went to Panera for soup and stuff. And after THAT, Krystle, Jason, Justin and I went to Phil and Kristin and Jane's, where we were later joined by Mandy and Alec. We played Euchre (haven't done that in forever), got and ate ice cream (YUM), watched a weird movie (that I, apparently, should be very familiar with), and played Pandemic - an AWESOME game that Mandy introduced us to! It was a fabulous day :)
