busy.

dear fleur.

we are planning a benefit concert for an orphanage this weekend. i think i went crazy 4 hours ago. i feel like i have so much to do. and ria has been playing our ears off with that kazoo of her's. thanks a lot nat. (wink).

it is kirsten's birthday in 8 days. and i know just what i'm going to get her. it is so cuteeeeee. sort of. in a non-cute but kind of really way. it's the idea that is cute.

i start teaching this coming week. we were on break. now it's back to lesson plans and all that jazz. monday and wednesday nights are filled people.
and we took a babysitting job on tuesdays. so i really won't be going anywhere after dinner. i'll be chasing children and teaching proper sidekicks.

necklaces are stalled lately. but i am pondering shop names. something like, "bellananci" or "nancibell". i don't know. they look kind of weird put together. but i like the way they sound.
sometimes i think way too hard.

mandy is using flora in the kitchen right now. she has this lovely brocade that i want to make into a pencil skirt. i am so tempted to snag a yard or two. but it is her's. oh my. the woes of sisterhood and fabric. maybe she'll share?

banana bread at the table. loveeeee itttttt.

love bell.

crazylove[story].

dear fleur.
i should really tell you my crazylovestory.
here it is.

a long time ago(like months and months ago), i decided that i wanted "crazylove" by francis chan. and it was all kirsten bean's fault. she read it first.
but i really did want it. a lot.
so i set out on my way to get it. and i went to the christian bookstore to find it. and i did find it. but it was $14.99. which isn't exactly cheap.
but i started saving. i saved all of my change for 3 months almost. and by the end of 3 months i had $9.00 in change. and i kept saving my change.
then ria decided she wanted it too.
and she wrote this blogpost.
and 5 days later she got a package in the mail with crazylove in it. and then she wrote this blogpost. and i went in the front yard and screamed& cried& freaked out.
and that was the end of my crazylovestory.
till this friday.
jen took me out on a date to starbucks. we had iced coffee and green tea and talked about india and she gave me my un-birthday presents(she does un-birthdays because she is so cool). there was a french valentine and a flower pen and a light up key chain and

"CRAZYLOVE."

i almost cried. i pretty much did. but then i had to pretend i didn't because the swedish exchange student came to talk to us. and it was beautiful.

i love you jennifer.
thank you.

and that was my crazylovestory. now francis chan is my good friend and i am eating 70% dark chocolate that mamie bought me.
love bell.

Laria.
