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 :)

Temporary Visitors

  • I really loved having my mom and brothers visit. Collin drove Ben (and put up with my poor directions) to get me some things to put shelves up in my apartment - and bought me tools to go with it. My mom helped me find tons of great things at Plato's Closet and then bought them for me. Ben helped me attempt to put up my mirror. We all watched HIMYM and played Bananagrams. Mom gave me a flu shot. She did my dishes, because she knows I hate doing them by hand, and her and Ben trimmed Chloe's nails. Every time we left my apartment, they warned me not to look at the pile of vomited Ramen outside my building. Plus, just having them there was wonderful. I'm really lucky to have had a lot of visitors at my place. And this weekend was another great one :)
  • Hurray for days that are sunny and 50 degrees!
