We went to Aunt Dot's and ate hot dogs & hamburgers on the grill.
C&T were great on the Midnight Special this morning! Pooh's a fox!
I got a letter from my boy pen-pal today.
Wow am I sleepy! I only slept 3 hours last night I mean this morning.

Sunday July 3, 1977

Hi! Love stricken Julie here!
I blow dried my hair just like Toni's all by myself for the first time! And it looks good Mom sewed a patch with my "pooh" on it, on my fave pair of jeans.
Grandma came over with a couple relatives. I forgot their names!
We had pork chops on the grill, and real good tomatoes. Haven't talked to Lisa since yesterday morn. Wonder wots up?
Daryl's a fox! ... I'm in love with a guy I haven't met.

Monday July 4, 1977

Right now I just got done watching Ernie Kovacks.
There wasn't no mail cause of it's July 4th. Gotta go now. Time for Monty Python!

Tuesday July 5, 1977

Got C&T's Spanish album of "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Por Amor Viviremos." It's real cool to hear Toni singin' in Spanish. She's a gr-8 singer!
Got a letter from pen pal Deanna Creamer.
Me, Ma & Aunt Dot went shopping.
I also got a new scrapbook. It's become my volume 2 for C&T.
I love havin' penpals! But I want more!

Got a letter from pen pal Cindy Studley & a new one who's a C&T nut too! Her name is Debbie Sanders.
Was gonna babysit Chad, but he got sick. I'll be sittin' him Fri. night. I'll watch my pooh-bear up there.
I got a pretty good tan this afternoon.
Daryl is my foxy dude!

Thursday July 7, 1977

I basically just sat around. There was nuthin in the mail. We went to Pepe Taco & I broke my record for taco eating. This time I ate 5 in a row! Pretty good, huh?
Today is 7-7-77, how 'bout that?
I broke my left big toe, boy does it hurt!
Well, I'm bored! I wish Daryl was here. Sure bet he could "unbore" me! If he was here now, I sure as hell wouldn't be sitting on the couch writin' this! Get my drift?

Friday July 8, 1977

Went to Murphy's & Randalls. Got the record "Slow Dancin'" Today is Lisa's B-day.
Instead of sitting Chad tonight, I watched him this afternoon.
I got a letter from pen pal Cheri Gibson.
"Daryl-the-Pooh and Toni too" are on the Midnight Special. If I fall asleep, I'll NEVER forgive myself! Because I just can't miss a chance to see my big ol' sexy Pooh!
I sure wish I was Toni. She's beautiful, & the world's best singer! Not only that, she's married to the foxiest dude ever to walk the face of the earth!

Saturday July 9, 1977

I had a dream last night, it really made me laugh, I drempt I was a bar of soap in Daryl Dragon's bath! Ha, ha! My p.p. Karen Anderson wrote that for me. Got a letter from her today. Pooh & Tone were absolutely fab on the Midnight Special! I love Daryl! They sang "natural Woman." Toni kinda sounded like she had a cold. I mean her voice was scratchy. Pooh really beat it up on his piano! He's a cool dude!

Sunday July 10, 1977

Unca Don & Aunt Sandy & kids were over all day. So was Lisa. Me & her got in the sprinkler for awhile. We also talked on the CB. I'm gettin' good at the slang.
One week from now, we'll be in Mountain View. BORING! I don't really wanna go. And guess what? My period starts on the same day that we leave, next Sunday. Boy does it make me mad! I wish I was a guy. They don't have any of these problems.

Monday July 11, 1977

Today in the mail I got an autographed picture of John Ritter! He's sitting in a chair, holding a bottle of whiskey, & smoking a cigarette. Behind him is a sign that says "Madam Sophie's massage parlor" And he wrote, "For Julie Thank-you Best Wishes and all 'dot jazz. Love, John Ritter." I also got a letter from pen pal Patty Murphy.
Watched Shields & Yarnell. They were real good.
Ain't John Ritter cool!? On the envelope he wrote,"John Ritter reads his mail!!"

Tuesday July 12, 1977

Me, Mom, & Aunt Dot went shopping.
I got 2 pal letters. One from Heidi Utz, & Kevin Denz.
We ate lunch at Bonanza.
Well, I ain't got nuthin else to say. 'Cept I'm not anxious to go to Mtn. View at all. Mostly cause it's about "that time of the month" again. I HATE being a girl!

Wednesday July 13, 1977

There was no mail for me.
Mom was yellin' at me all morning, so, at about 10 till 1 I left the house. Just walked out. I rode my bike up to the Mossville Dairy Bar & got an ice cream cone. Then we rode up to the school & around town just for kicks. I decided to come home around 3. Mom didn't even act like she knew I was gone!
Now I'm kinda lookin' forward to goin' to Mtn. View. I guess I'll be alright. But I won't be able to swim 4 a few days.

Thursday July 14, 1977
