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 :)

Banquet Scene (Dec 14)



  • Last night was the band banquet and it was great! Very fun to see the girls - I missed them - and make good speeches. Plus, Mr. Liska's video was fantastic - it made me remember all the great stuff and forget all the crappy stuff of the season.
  • Tonight, we had our guard dinner. Lindsay's mom picked a great restaurant - finally! I got there a little late and the girls called me over to sit with them right away :) I talked a lot with Lindsay and Leah, which was wonderful - I will miss them so much! I also got great pictures with all the girls, thanked all the parents who attended one-by-one, and loved the gift that the girls got me (LONG FUZZY SOCKS!). Plus, Molly's dad said these super heartfelt things to me about how much Molly loves guard and how much that is thanks to me. It was a great way to celebrate the end of our season.
  • After the dinner, Jackie was hosting a sleepover for the girls at her house, so I went for a little while. Jackie's house was awesome! It was painted crazy colors, had tons of interesting furniture, and contained a home theater and tiki bar in the basement! It was exactly what a grown-up house should be - whatever you want! :)
