Off On a Hiking Trip

March break is coming up at my school. Tomorrow morning, my husband and I are leaving for a hiking trip in the Grand Canyon -- which means I probably won't be blogging for about a week or so.

Usually when we travel I end up writing a travel story about our adventures, but this time, I'm less inclined to work on our trip. I mentioned this to a friend yesterday and she said, "So I guess you'll be leaving your notebook at home!" 

Well... not exactly. Leaving home without my notebook... oh my...  that would be like going on a trip without my toothbrush. Right now, my side of the bed is covered with all the stuff I have to bring. Besides clothing and camping gear, there's my trusty journal and a fresh Hilroy book. Even a holiday-ing writer might get some great idea while she's trying to avoid tarantulas and rattlesnakes... and what good is a great idea if she can't write it down?

Another thing I need to do today is bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies. They're for my cousin Ruby who's going to look after the house while we're away. Ruby and I must be related because we both love chocolate chip cookies -- and I've promised Ruby that I'll leave a week's supply in the cookie jar. 

If you're nearly on March break, too, enjoy your adventures wherever you are... and don't forget to take notes. Talk to you in a little over a week!

Hi Ms. Polak!
I saw the movie Coraline in theaters the other day and I instantly thought of you because it reminded me very much of Alice in Wonderland. I strongly recommend you go see it because it is somewhat like Through the Looking Glass. It's all about imagination and the theme of identity is in it too!

Hello dear former Marianopolis student, I'll definitely go and see Coraline -- and when I do, I'll blog about it. Thanks for the recommendation and for staying in touch!! Best best from me
