How to find me elsewhere

I guest-posted over at my little sister's project blog. 

Give it a read. 

That horse skirt and a book fetish

I am in the middle of packing my bedroom up so I can move four hours away at the end of next month.
August. August will be a month of changes.
I have been pulling out my boxes of books and deciding what lovelies are coming, and which are staying. It's heart-wrenching. I mean, I have stacks of regency-era romance novels that should probably stay here. And I can only take so many full copies of Keats' poetry. And I have a lot Spanish children's books that I can't even read. The thing is, I love them. I love them all. But if I attempt to weigh my minivan down with every slim little Shakespeare I own, that four hour drive might turn into eight.
But I did just buy a blue Samsonite that I can probably shove six novels into.

This weekend I am taking off for Shiloh Bible Camp up in Washington. I'm packing my backpack full of Beatrix Potter, Ludwig Bemelmans, and P. L. Travers, and I am going to read them all to my little sister.

Hehe....I have a secret.

This is Mandy.
I love her.
And I just started pretty much the raddest present in the world for her.
She better like it.

i'm happy right now.

sometimes i am married to bear grylls and we have lunch dates with robert downey jr. and his wife. she and i are good friends.

dear fleur.
tandy mandy wrote a cute post on 'sometimes.' i think i'll be a copycat and do one too.

sometimes i rub my eyes for 5 minutes straight.

sometimes i pretend that i'm married to robert downey jr. sometimes i only wear tights. sometimes i wake up and sew for 6 hours in my pajamas. and then i eat lunch. sometimes i take a nap on the floor. sometimes people look at me funny when i tell them i like the opera. sometimes i read french books. and i don't speak french.
sometimes my toenails turn black because i run too much.
sometimes i want a bathrobe.
sometimes there is no one at home, so i play the beatles as loud as i can and eat cottage cheese.
sometimes i think i'm crazy.
sometimes i watch bear grylls by myself.

tomight i watched bear grylls with franny and tandy and mamie.
want to know a secret?

i want to marry someone named bear. that is my dream. and if i don't, i will name my first little boy 'bear.'
laugh all you want.
i think that is soooooooooo rad.
i will name them,
bear.
and madeline.
and rosamund.
and i will be so happy.

i just need to find a husband.

just kidding.
i can name my dolls that if i never get married.

kidding. again.

love, bell.

EDIT: sometimes i want to get married, just to name little boys and girls.
