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 :)

Drive Her Home (April 13)

  • Happy Birthday to my "little" brother, Ben! Although I may have to call him my "younger" brother from now on - because, as he reminds me every time I see him, he's definitely taller than me now :)
  • Tonight, I experienced the healing power of driving and angry music. I was super frustrated so instead of driving right back to my mom's, I just kept going. I drove to the end of roads and turned around whenever I ran into a road I knew. This went on for about one hour/50 miles, with Lil' Jon, Flo Rida, T-Pain, LMFAO, Soulja Boy and others blasting out of my speakers. Between that and seeing the clarity of the stars around Mattawan, I felt a lot better. If I hadn't been alone, I would have sat in a field, looking at the stars. But just seeing them out of my window was awesome. I do love that area of Michigan :)
