Run away from private school with me

Hello my dear

Sorry so distracted yesterday.

Miss you lots, wish I was with you in NY, and hope that returning to Lee isn't too boring xxx

Anyways, I saw this and thought about that time that we drove down from Auckland to Wellington in Pipsqk, and sang "Hungry Eyes" with the top down along the Desert Road. Lolz. Such good times. Also it made me think a little of that time at Bill's Bach. WANT TO GO BACK.

If your Mum hasn't already turfed Pipsqk, lets grab him when you get back and go crazy on a road trip. We should also do some srs op-shopping. And wear cat-ears.

Did I mention that I miss you Missy? I do.

Please will you get me some saddle shoes while you're in the States? Audrey from Twin Peaks wears them too. I'm jealous of saddle shoes.

Dear Ginger Jane,
I love that clip you posted. More specifically, it makes me imagine my own metamorphosis into an eccentric older lady with a slightly dazed expression and a penchant for orange lipstick. It’s like a visual prophesy of sorts. It’s going to happen to you too, don’t fight it. You’ll be the ginger-haired foodie version, like Peta Mathias. I know you love Madame Mathias, so this won’t be an alarming prospect for you. In fact, I can see you embracing the situation with alacrity and a wide smile. It’s raining right now, so everyone here is wearing gumboots, which is super super cute. One thing I kind of love about this place is how schizophrenic the weather is. Check it out.

One minute it’s scorching, the next, thunderstorms. So in the spirit of gumboots, here is a weather-related, America-related song you might enjoy. Well, it’s not really about weather so much, but it is called “Last of the Melting Snow.” You’ll like it, I promise.

Smooches, Rebecca

PS: How’s your new budget treating you, my dear? I want a progress report. With diagrams, like you promised.
