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 :)

Shopping Spree (Nov 17)

  • After sleeping in (YAY), I got to Skype with Nida! It was such a lovely surprise and it was awesome to catch up with her. She gave me some updates on Korea and her life and we even talked a little about US and South African politics. It was a great way to start the morning :)
  • Then my mom and brothers arrived! I gave them a little tour of my apartment and then my mom and I went shopping, while my brothers got some screws and tools for me (which was quite a task because, apparently, I wrote down the wrong directions...). Mom and I found some fantastic things at Plato's Closet and Kohl's (yay shirts and jeans and boots!) and Collin got a text from my phone that said "Found this phone at Target"...guess I left it there, oops! We had dinner at Tower Inn and finished the night by watching several episodes of HIMYM. Pretty good day :D
  • Happy Birthday to my Dad!
