Humanity.

Today I learned that people change, they become different, they grow up.
Today I learned that someone who you never respected, someone who you always doubted, someone who you find insincere but you don't really know, they can say good things too.
Today I learned I am still learning.

We don't know everything my friends. No one of us will ever know everything. But it is necessary that we surprise one another often, as human beings, and say the things that are on our hearts. Because we all know something.

I have such an ugly soul sometimes. I judge people I'll never even know, let alone meet.

Today I am biting my lip + confessing my hypocrisy. I am not a perfect person, and I'm working on being prepared to be surprised more often. More people will do this to me in the future. I already know it.

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.
