From the Archives, Part II
I know it’s atypical for people to post blog entries on a weekend. But I’ll be working tomorrow, so I thought I’d get a jump start on the week. And as promised, here’s another journal entry from 1990:
Today at 3:00, I am going to get my hair cut. I want a bowl cut but my mom won’t let me. I wish I had all the money in the world to spend on clothes, houses, horses, land, toys, you know what I mean. One of my biggest wishes is a computer. I would sit and play with it for years. That or a typawriter. I would probably do the same thing. I still have a cold and it anoys me! Were going to a trip to Alabama & I don’t, simply do not want to go. Aunt Estell changes in front of me and it bothers me. I just don’t want to go. I’m uncomfertable and every time I go there I get homesick. I just don’t tell anyone. I bet Steph looks in this to find out stuf she dosn’t know about me. Right now it is 2:26 and I’m all alone becaus about 1 hour ago, evrey one went bowling but me. I’m just not in the mood. I’ve got a 10 pounder & its hard to use when you havn’t bowled in awile. My highest game is a 95.
My haircut turned out ok. it wasn’t the best but it was good. Today I spent 20 bucakaroos on a game called Scattogorie & Steph didn’t even pay a penny! I found out the other day that Lainie wears her sister’s bras. I guess I’ll call it a night. So long.
Ah. The deep inner workings of a 9-year-old. And I still have Scattergories. I guess it’s worth it’s 20 buckaroos if I’ve had it for this long!

If you still want a bowl cut, I’ll pay for it.

I love the fact that your family took bowling outings and you had your own ball. Reminds me of the show Roseanne.

Oh it gets better, Jayna. We were all on bowling leagues!

What an intelligent little 9 yr. old you were! I never knew that kids that age actually WANTED bowl cuts! But then again, I’m sure you weren’t the “average” kid. I had a diary when I was 9 also, but I wrote nasty things in mine.

It’s funny that Lainie wore her sister’s bras. I was friends with her sister once upon a time…

Ah, Lainie. I miss that girl. Do you or Becca know where she’s at these days, Liz?
July 11th, 2005 at 2:11 pm
Becca might. I’ll ask her tonight.

So you paid for Scatagories. I paid for our first car.

I don’t know where she is. She was still going to UGA when I graduated. I think she was living with her boyfriend - some guy with an earring and big muscles. She came over one night right after Ethan was born, but I haven’t heard from her since.

I love absolutely love when you post these.

That was just the sweetest entry! I think you took us all back to our childhoods with that. Funny, though. When I was 9, a computer took up an entire room and had vacuum tubes in it…
