Toast.

Dear Fleur.
So I feel very neglectful of my writing. I should fix that.
I want toast for breakfast every morning too. That is getting old.
Also,
Kirsten comes in one day.
I think I might scream.
So tomorrow I shall be positively busy in a Lauren Child sort of way. I will paint. Babysit. Draw. Write. Read two more books. Go swimming. Drink tea. See a concert. And clean.
Then she will be here.
Then I will scream.
And we can have toast together.

Dear Fleur.
My day did not start nicely the other day.
So I made up a plan.
It involved:
writing.writing.writing.writing.
Lauren Child.
2% milk.
joshuajames.
&
an old washing machine.
It kind of worked.

I smiled quite a bit.
Listening to Coal War and reading Charlie and Lola.
Let's just say, I should make more lists of what I want in my day.

I like lists.
Love from Bella.

That one woman who wrote "Charlie and Lola."

Dear Fleur.

This is me. Trying reeeeaaaalllllyyyy hard to be happy.
Note the wrinkles on my forehead.
Lately I have been having trouble with that. I think it is because I keep doing things for myself. I wear lipstick. Put my hair up nice. Sew. Read A.A.Milne. Sit on my bed in FIONI high heels and swing my legs. Search every room in the house for Anne Of Green Gables. And indulge myself by walking around saying "poppysmic."
But none of that is working.
Want to know what makes me really happy?
Making other people happy.
I need to do more for others.

This morning I woke up and wanted to be best friends with Lauren Child. It had nothing to do with my dream last night. It was just a beautiful yearning in my chest. And I need to get it out there. Call me crazy, but it's going on my bucket list. And I am going to make myself happy by doing something for Lauren Child one day.
•
I JUST HAVE TO SAY, I HAVE BIG PLANS INVOLVING LAUREN CHILD RIGHT NOW. THEY COULD AMOUNT TO ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT THINGS EVER.
or nothing. nothing at all.

Now I think I'll go find Ria the molasses to make her happy.
Love from Bella.
