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 :)

The Happy Mondays (Mar 11)

  • I think I'm going to try to restart the "one-good-thing-per-day-no-matter-what" posts. I feel like I could use those right now. In light of that...
  • New Girl Mondays with Jayme and Nikki have quickly become a huge highlight of my week. First, I love that I have New Girl nights on Mondays AND Tuesdays. Second, I love that the 3 of us have become friends. Making friends is fun and I did it so much in Korea - I'm glad this is something I've "brought back" with me. Plus, it's a really neat experience becoming friends with people I have many things in common with, but not everything. And it's fun when people notice - a few weeks ago, a girl in our dance class asked if we all lived together :) Third, laughing at New Girl, eating whatever snack we've come up with and drinking whatever drink we've concocted is an amazing way to spend Mondays. (If I could bring Chloe, life would be perfect.)
