I've been in a dull mood lately. And you know what else? I'm getting sick of this dumb diary! I want to remember what I've done, but I hate writing it down!
I want to say a prayer for Snook:
Father, please help my kitty. He's such a sweet animal. He's very sick and doesn't deserve to be. Please, Lord, let him live! Thank-you. Amen
I'm working on my zitty face, and flabby gut, and boring hard to get along with personality. Maybe by the time I see Mark, I'll be good. I need to lose 20 pounds! HELP!

I woke up at 7:30, then went back to sleep until 9:40. I called Uncle Art to try to catch Ma up there, but she wasn't. So, I packed up my belongings and returned home. She had left a note that said to meet at Aunt Dot's at 11:30. So, I washed my hair and drove to A.D.'s. Ma gave me my mail. I got a note from stinkin' Stacy.

We compared diaries, played frisbee, volleyball. Waited for Shelly and Holley to get there. They did. We all sat on the curb and waited for Vicki to get there. She did. We roasted weinies, had corn on the cob, cake and ice cream. After supper, we played volley-ball. Me, Stacey, and her dad beat their team. We had a water baloon fight with 2 neighborhood boys. It was pretty fun. We came inside and watched a bit of "The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming" and played a neat card game called Uno. We went out to the tent for awhile but got scared and came in and watched part of a movie with Erik, my hunk, in it called "The New Centuraians." But they didn't want to stay in to see the whole thing, so I asked stacey to record it for me. We went back out to the tent and laid around and told stupid jokes and just acted stupid in general. Then everyone fell asleep, but I don't think I did! All in all, it was a pretty fun day. I'm typing this on June 23rd, cause I couldn't very well do this over at Space's in front of everyone last night!

I watched MASH. Booger chewed on my foot. I love men! I want Buster! I watched Dinah where some guy discussed sex. According to him, I've had sex before!

Tuesday June 26, 1979

hi: 84 lo: 53

(I've gone to another diary. For the continuing story of my life, please read the sequel "The Stinkiest diary ever Written" refer to Anything Book #0-517-271478)
 I was getting tired of writing real small and with little detail in my Snoopy diary, so I got this one so I can write as much as I want!
Mom woke me up around 8:30 so we could go underwear shopping. I washed my face and hair. Then we met Aunt Dorothy at the mall. At Monkey Wards, I got undies for me and a card for Buster. I went to the Book Market and got 2 of these diary things. We stopped at Dipper Dan's and I did something I shouldn't have! I had a Sprite and a Hot Fudge Banana Suprise. From there, we came back home. I didn't get any mail. I came inside, and am now writing this!
I'm waiting for our story to start. Yesterday, Laura hung herself, and we left her just hanging there! I watched the story. She is really wacko!!!
Now that I have this kind of diary. I can tell you what I wanted to last night about Stacey. Well, for one thing, she has her beedy little eyes on my brother, not because she likes him, but simply because she wants a boyfriend. She would delight in using him to make me jealous! I, myself, would like to see Mike find a girlfriend that would truly like him, and also, I don't like her snotty attitude!
2:20 PM - I went out into the hot beating sun and fought the battle of the drying spots as I attempted to wash and chamois off my beautiful car. Mike did his at the same time. I came inside and took a tea break. While Mom was doing the dishes, the cat was jumping up and down in it's box meowing. Mom threw water on it, and now it's hilarious looking! I watched M*A*S*H. 3:10- PM- I picked up some stuff in my room, but it's still a bit cluttered. I am watching Captain Stinks and Salty Ham. They said hi to Chad Fidler who is 4 years old and that he wants his grandpa Gene McCleary to call. Who the hell is he?
A guy from "Alien" was on Dinah and they talked about the movie. Do you believe that I lived through the scariest movie out today?!
5:20 PM- We ate supper. Next, I brushed my teeth and washed my face (this is so exciting!). I did a bunch of exercises to help me lose weight.
I watched the news. There's no good news anymore at all! First the snow, the cold, the flood. Now gas shortage, trucker's strike. Oh, I forgot the famed 3 mile island incident! The world is coming to an end!! 8:00 PM -I helped Dad in the garage with Harold's cage. In my room, I watched 3's Company. It was hilarious! When SD called, I had people tell her I was at my grandma's spending the night. Do you believe I've wasted about 4 pages on nothing!?
10:07 PM - I helped Mom with some homemade potatoe chips. Basically, she made them, and I ate them!! Watched the 10 o'clock news. I hope this gas shortage doesn't ruin my chance to see Buster this summer. I am absolutely dying to see him!
Well, I guess now I am going to watch the Dating Game, then I'll go to bed. Hey, this eligible bachelor is a disc jockey! But he's ugly. Oh well, they can't all be as fortunate as Buster!

Wednesday June 27, 1979

hi: 78 lo: 60

I woke up about 9. I watched my usual shows. Mrs. McCready came over and talked both of Mom's arms and legs off. She's full of bull! I ate a sloppy joe. Then, I brushed my teeth, washed my face and hair. I watched my story, Days of our Lives. After that, I picked up stuff in my room so it looks less cluttered. I called Cindy, my hair lady's, new hair place and made an appointment to get my head trimmed Saturday at 10. I rode my bike for 1 1/2 miles. Stacey called and talked at me for a few minutes. Then the guy from Cohen's came with our sofa/sleeper. I laid on it for awhile. Some high pressure sales person came and pushed an album at me. I didn't even want it, so how did I get talked into buying it? I then viewed Gilligan's Island.
Dad came home with a friend who had car troubles. They fixed that. It rained long enough to create water spots on my car, that of which I carefully washed yesterday. I ate chicken and corn for supper. I watched Robin Williams on Laugh Inn. The guy's riot! Watched some other shows. Stacey called and as per usual, talked my ear off!!
I had a beautiful dream about Buster and me last night. I hope I dream the sequel tonight!

I don't think I will get my hair trimmed this weekend. Then again, maybe I will! Then again, it's too short already! Oh well, we'll have to just wait and see!
I can't wait to see Buster! I'm dying! I want to just ride around and talk to him about everything. Maybe he'll take me into his apartment this time & we can sit & talk.

Thursday June 28, 1979

hi: 85 lo: 58

Mom woke me up early. Me, her, and Aunt Dot went to see Steve and Judy's house. We ate at some greasy place in Flanagan. We didn't get home till around 3.
I talked to Stacey on the horn and asked her to stay all night. She came over around 6:30. We played Uno and Pay Day. We walked down to the store and got chips, milk, and butter. We caught lightening bugs. We played a very short game of Pay Day with Mike. We watched the Dating Game, and Starsky and Hutch. We went to sleep.

Today was the pits! Prunella came while I was asleep. She did her best to get rid of me, but I put up a fight. We took SD home. We were gonna go shopping, but I got sicker and sicker! So we came home and I barfed and died in pain! Bob came over. They're going to repossess his trailer, and he and family may end up living here. I watched Captain Jinks and Gilligan. I ate a few pieces of toast. I watched the news. I hate being a female! Guys don't have any of these problems! I laid on the sofa-sleeper and I viewed Different Strokes, Welcome Back Kotter. Right now, I'm watching a movie called Love Trap. As soon as this is over, I'm going to bed. I don't feel too swell!
