Dear Diary Days, Vol. 5

I just really don't have much to say these days. Busy with new (old) job and the kids starting school. So here's another Diary for you.

Dear Diary,
Guess What! I'm going with Evan White. We started today. He's in 5th grade, but he is fine. [I was in 6th grade so it was pretty scandalous to "go with" a younger man] He's very shy. I think he'll come out of it tomorrow. I really love him. Basketball is over. Saturday is the cheerleading clinic. Well, guess I better go.

D.D. ,
I know I haven't really been keeping you updated. Here's the basics:

1) I'm trying out for cheerleading

2) Growing Pains was moved to Wednesdays.

3) I broke up with Evan, and have a crush on Michael! [Evan's brother who was in my grade]

4) It's Spring Break, and we're going to Corpus Christi on Thursday.

5) Michael likes Amy and I, and doesn't know which to go with.

Kirk Cameron is not my favorite now. Jeremy Licht is fine!!! [Remember him from Hogan Family?]


Now #2 may seem insignificant, but I can assure you this was a huge deal. I had AWANAS (church) on Wednesday nights. Sure, we had a VCR, but things happened and sometimes it didn't record. Not quite as reliable as our DVR's. Maybe this is when I got off the Growing Pains bandwagon - I think that happened when they adopted that redhead girl. Shows always jump the shark when they go and adopt a kid. Remember Oliver on Brady Bunch? I rest my case.
