I’m dreaming of Hawaii.
Warm beaches to lay on. Volcanoes to climb on.
Clear waters to swim in. And plenty more beauty to see.
Over the holidays Troy and I booked our HONEYMOON (holy smokes!) on Kauai island. We’ll be staying on the eastern part of the island in Kapaa at a lovely timeshare resort (my parents gift to us!). Needless to say, we’re pumped!
Now, just have to get through the rest of this school year, both teaching and taking classes. I think my new grad class, a literacy theory course, will be a doozy but I’ve always thought learning about learning was very interesting. (Geek alert!) Which reminds me, doesn’t anyone else completely love the Kaplan University commercial? I mean, geesh, I’d go there after that kind of pep talk. And the “professor” in the commercial is Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince! Watch it here.
On an unrelated note, I saw this online today:
I looove nail polish AND Alice in Wonderland. I’m super duper excited about the upcoming remake of the movie. Ever since I wrote an undergrad paper on Lewis Carroll and Through the Looking Glass, I just love all things Alice.
Some other Alice-related beauties to look at:

Alice says, “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
i’ve been excited for the burton alice movie since 2008, haha! did you know the girl playing alice is from australia? i’m not terribly impressed with the new look for the cheshire cat, but, nevertheless, i’m totally looking forward to the movie. alice is one of my all-time favorites. one of my favorite possessions is a leather-bound book of alice’s adventures in wonderland and through the looking glass. would you be up to sharing your undergrad paper with me? i’d love to read it. = )
