I'm watching the Karate Kid. It started 2 minutes ago.

I babysat for Katie until almost 6:30. Now I have to babysit my brothers until 12:00.

It seems funny that I'm laying on the couch wearing a t-shirt and shorts, drinking lemonade and it's about 15 degrees outside.

January 29, 1987

Hi. Tomorrow I get to finish my wagon in Shop before school. Wish me luck.

School is GREAT since I don't have Mr. Gilman anymore. A warm front came in and it's getting almost up to 40 degrees. It will be so warm. It's almost 10:00 PM so I have to go. Bye.

January 28, 1987

Hi. Sorry, I don't feel like writing.

Becky gave that to me in Art today, and I told her I would keep it, and I guess I will, huh. 

January 27, 1987

Hi. It snowed today so we had no mutual.

January 25, 1987

Hi. Today Rochelle came to church with us. I think she liked it. It was fun.

Dad, Walt and I went to Mamaw's house. The Super Bowl was today. The Broncos (yay) and the Giants (boo) were playing. The Broncos were getting creamed and smeared all over the turf. The game is still going on.

I like Tony a lot. I mean a lot--more than usual.

January 24, 1987

Hi. I can't talk long. It's after 10:00. Today Michael and Dad went to a Genesis concert.

Mary and I went shopping. I got a magazine so I can change my door. Now I have pictures of Corey Hart, Ralph Macchio, Michael J Fox, and a bunch more.

Rochelle is coming to church with me tomorrow. I hope she likes it so she will come back.

Justin is sick.

The hight today is 15 degrees and the low is -10. It's about -5 and the windchill is like -26. It's cold.

Oh, did I tell you Monday we had a thunderstorm in the morning and sleet in the afternoon and snow at night. Weird huh. I have to go. Bye.

January 23, 1987

Hi. It's Friday. I'm so tired. Justin is sick. He can't eat any solid foods.

The windchill factor is -32 degrees. It's freezing. Bye.

January 19, 1987

Guess what, we had school today. Even Plainfield was out and they hardly ever have snow days. It's cold--or rather FREEZING!

Today when Jessica was leaving school, Mrs. Carter walked by and said, "Mornin' Jess." And school was over and everyone was leaving.

Bye.

January 18, 1987

Hi! First I'll tell you about what Tony said. Michael told him that I like him, and Michael said that Tony said he kind of thought that, but I think he still likes me.

Second, me and Michael went to a stake fireside. It was BOARING! We didn't even have food, but it was still pretty fun.

We are supposed to have a snowstorm of 4-6 inches, but it is delayed. HOPE + PRAY THAT WE GET OFF SCHOOL TOMORROW!

Yesterday I was VERY, VERY, VERY upset that I couldn't go to Youth Conference. Today I asked dad if I could go. Oh, I forgot to tell you why I can't go. It's because of a family reunion in Massachuchettes. Everybody will be there, but I still wanted to go to Youth Conference BAD. Dad said I would go to Youth Conference and fly to Massachuttes when conference was over, but it's not definite. I hope it is and I can. Right now!

PRAY FOR NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! I hope it snows all night. See you tomorrow.

Sis. Bergstrom had a baby boy.

Yesterday Mary spent the night. We only stayed up until about 2:00 this morning. I just babysat Katie Gary. She's so sweet.

You know we could have a snow storm tomorrow. I hope so.

OK, today was Michael's basketball tournament, so I told him to tell Tony I like him, but I haven't asked Michael if he remembered. I hope so.

I'm finally getting over Ralph Macchio. That's just because I like Corey Hart.

Tomorrow is church so Michael won't forget, if he did today, so I'll tell you what happenes.

Hope for 2 things:
1.) Mike likes me
2.) We get a BAD snowstorm and can't go to school tomorrow

Bye

January 16, 1987

I've had this journal for exactly 1/2 a year.

I love Cory Hart.

January 15, 1987

Hi. Today in Science we started dissecting a GIANT grasshopper. I almost got sick. Tomorrow we have to slit its stomach and find things inside of it.

Mindy came over and we watched part of Rocky.

Of course, GREAT NEWS: ONLY ONE MORE DAY OF MR. GILMAN!

Monday I switch 3 classes:
1.) English
2. ) History
3. )*Science
4.) Study Hall
5.) Choir
6.) Math
7.)*Gym
8.)*Art

I'm having Mary spend the night so I can write longer because she reads her scriptures for 10 minutes.

So wish me luck on my last day of science, Health and Shop.

Bye.

January 13, 1987

Guess what happened with Tony. He didn't say much because Michael forgot to tell him. Oh, well. He'll find out eventually.

Today was singing tests. I actually got a B+. I was happy. On my Science folder I got an A, and on my science book report, I also got an A. I have to do 50 push-ups and then go to bed. Sorry I couldn't write much. Bye.

January 12, 1987

Hi. Today was a good day. I had a good day at school, and after school the missionaries came for dinner, then I set 4 Personal Progress goals, and I got my health articles cut out and they aren't due for 2 more days.

Michael is going to tell Tony I like him. I hope Tony doesn't ask me to go with him, because I would probably say no and hurt his feelings AGAIN.

There isn't much to say but today was a good day. I'm getting over Ralph Macchio and starting to like real boys.

Oh! Before I forget, guess what! Only 4 more days of Mr. Gilman's class, and next on to gym. I can't wait to have no more Health class to worry about! But, there are also only 4 more days of Shop. Boo! I'm reading The Outsiders again.

I'll let you know what happens with Tony tomorrow. See you later. I have to go before I get in trouble. Bye.

January 11, 1987

Hi, Sorry I haven't written in so long. I told Michael that I like Tony and I told him to tell Tony that I like him. I have to finish reading a book for Science tonight. Bye.

January 9, 1987

I can't talk long. We finally got snow. Tonight we are going to get more. Friday finally!

January 6, 1987

School is going ok.

Tonight was New Beginnings.

Bye.

January 4, 1987

I have AWFUL news! School starts tomorrow.

On this vacation I've been to two slumber parties, started my period for the first time, slept until about 9:30 every morning and had a BLAST!

My locker combination is 22-8-34 and my locker number is 131. Last year's I know better. than this year's. It was 28-2-12. I have to go. Sorry. Wish me luck. Bye.

January 3, 1987

Hi. Today I made a giant yo yo bear. I told Mary that I like Tony. I thought she would tease me, but she didn't.

My mom got her wisdom teeth pulled. Her jaw is all swollen. Tomorrow the schedule in church is changing: sacrament meeting, Sunday school, then young womens.

January 2, 1987

I can't talk long. The slumber party was a blast. We stayed up until Kate's brother Chris got back from his paper route.

It's 10:52 right now. Tomorrow is Saturday and Monday we go back to school. Booooooooo! I still like Tony Matthews (and Chris Frond).

Bye.
