3 things

There were 3 things that made me happy today:
1. I was working with a kindergartener today giving him this ESL test and he stopped in the middle of the test and pointed to his head and told me, "I have a lot of pretend stuff in here." Then he went on to pretend to build a pair of "machine" gloves for me and for him. The gloves were a lot like a transformer from what I could tell from the sounds and actions he was making. He was right, he did have a lot of "pretend" stuff in there!
2. As I was taking out the trash, I noticed 2 buds popping up in our flower garden. One purple and one white. This was yet another sign that spring is on its way! The first sign was that I got to drive home from work with my sunroof open and the rays shining directly on me!
3. I checked carnival's site and realized we leave on our cruise in 18 days!!!!!!

Southern Caribbean here we come!

It's UNDERland, silly!

My mom's birthday was last week and she said the only thing she wanted for her birthday was to go to dinner with the fam and see Alice in Wonderland. We ended up going to Jordan Commons and seeing it on the IMAX screen in 3D.

For those of you who know me well, that means closing my eyes through a LARGE portion of the movie so I don't get sick.

Over the years, I've gotten really good at LISTENING to movies instead of watching them.

Even though I had to just listen to a lot of this movie, I still really liked it. Plus we got to wear these fashionable 3D goggles!

A few of our favorite quotes from the movie:

It's not wonderland, it's UNDERland, silly! (I think he actually called her stupid, but I'll "draw it mild"!)

Another favorite quote: "PIG! I need a pig. I love a warm pig belly to rest my aching feet on."

* "Draw it mild" comes from the BBC miniseries Little Dorrit (a great series!) It means, "take it easy"

Mockingjay

So if you are not on the Hunger Games bandwagon yet, you don't know what you're missing. I was introduced to the series by my roommate and blasted through them in a few days. They were my go-to gifts for Christmas this year!

ANYWAY...

They announced a while ago that the 3rd and final book in the series was coming out this summer but they just announced the title and cover called Mockingjay.

Is is too soon to start a countdown to August 24th?
