Fleur.
The Catcher in the Rye is coming babysitting with me today. I'm almost through with The History of Love and Great House. Little Women stays at home. I like to read that one in my bedroom and the bathtub.
Today is painting day. I need to find a good painting tee shirt. And some paint. But one thing at a time.
I got this new cup for a quarter the other day. I drink my morning tea in it now. I need to get Kirsten a special cup to drink her's in before she gets here. Unless she brings one. Oui. I did just say that my best friend would pack a glass mug all the way down to Oregon. She is that cool.
I need to get dressed. I leave in an hour.
I am getting good at timing now that I have college and everything. I can't decide whether or not I like that about me. I probably will decide to like it. It's a good thing.
And just to announce, we officially have flour. So all bread baking of the summer really begins now.
I should finish Norm.
Bye.
Bella.

Dear Fleur.
I am at school. Writing my essay. Sort of. I kind of just want to go lay in the chair in the corner and pull my yellow sweater over my face and sleep. I won't though. Because I am writing my essay.
I was reading Joel last night, and then I had a dream that someone gave me a whole paper sack full of pale pink peonies. It was pretty darn amazing. That's probably why I am so tired. I woke up thinking about the dream and couldn't really sleep after. I was busy drawing peonies last night.
I haven't worked on Norm The Tie Man for 5 days now. I feel really bad. But everything is crazy. There is just so many birthday presents I need to finish and wrap and send and keep. I AM ALMOST OUT OF RIBBON.
My French is suffering. Remind me to get the snowball from Rog tonight so Victoria and I can have a lesson next week. Okay. Good.
Now.
Back to my essay. And then when Mandy gets out of math she and I will have quesadillas for lunch. I made them with muenster and avocado and turkey. But I forgot my tea. I was going to make tea this morning. Zut alors.
Love Bella.

Can you make a bowtie work?

Dear Fleur.
I've been doing Art History homework all day. Literally. Other than the times I took a break to draw men wearing neckties. And I was just completely inspired to draw a guy wearing a jean jacket via this picture. Which means I'll probably go sketch after this.
And watches. I need to draw watches more often.

Tonight I made baked apple dumplings. Then I almost started an oven fire. I drank chai tea too. And I'll probably make myself some dinner now. Tomato soup? Heck oui.

Never write a story with a lady who wears a pink dress covered in bows for the final scene. Honestly. It's torture for your ink pens. And your eyes. Neckties are easy. Fedoras are harder. Tiny bows? I want to scream.

Homework again. Gah, I'm sick of it. And soup.
Love Bells.
