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 :)

Bloom, Lily, Bloom

  • Happy April!
  • When I'm sitting on my couch, I can smell my Easter lilies. They are about 5 feet from my couch and it's like I'm right next to them :)
  • I got invited to buy Mumford & Sons tickets! But for their Berkeley, CA show :/ Can't afford that trip :(
  • Carlee helped me fight with Amazon until we got access to the Downton Abbey Season 2 Christmas Special...it was wonderful! So cute and in many unexpected ways. I almost don't want to keep watching because I know season 3 was surprising in a bad way...I don't want things to change!
  • And, finally, when one of your former guard girls messages you the following, how can you not smile?
"Emily! Please come to the performance at UofM on Friday. Please, please, please. I want you to see how fantastic your teaching has made me."
