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 :)

Bells And Whistles (Jan 9)

  • I had dinner with Melissa at a Korean restaurant near work tonight! It was pretty yummy - but it was definitely Americanized Korean food...hehe I'm proud I can tell the difference :)
  • I went to my first handbells rehearsal tonight! It was good :) There are some awesome people in the choir and everyone seemed so excited to meet me. The lady I'm sharing a stand with was the head librarian at the EMU library until last year; now she's at UofM-Dearborn. And the man who is ringing on my other side used to be the dean of EMU's College of Ed! Like, relatively recently. He has a great Southern accent too. I'm ringing the E4/F4 position right now...a good one to do reentry with because it's pretty "quiet" - at least, the parts in the songs we read are pretty easy. At first, I was like, "Oh no, I won't remember anything!" But it got easier very quickly and the director (and some others) seemed impressed that I had rung for 10 years and in several of the positions. It was weird being directed by someone that wasn't my dad though! But it was really fun :) AND I got to see my friends from Wesley afterwards. I, along with Marshal and Dave, successfully taught Sarah and Jon how to play Euchre! It was awesome :) A good Wednesday night.
  • I hate throwing away chocolate! Especially the yummy Lindt/Lindor kind :(
  • I still have my Christmas decorations up. In fact, I keep adding ornaments to my tree. On the 15th day of Christmas...
