1-1-92 Well, it’s the first day of the new year & I’m sitting in B.J.’s bed again talking to Emily. I don’t really know what I’m in the mood I’m in. I think it’s because I don’t ever want to be away from BJ & it’s like the Earth stands still when I am. It’s 5:52pm & I’m…

Dec. 23, 1991 Well, I’m lying here in B.J.’s bed, and I wish she was here with me. I miss her so much. It was so hard being here knowing that you’re not in the next room. I love you, baby. I can’t believe I have another week before I can see you again. This is…

I refuse to write about Christmas! I will write about…I really don’t know what to write about. I’ve been in a really good mood all day. I can’t wait to get home. I’m spending the night at Bon-E’s house tonight. Only two more days! Thank God! I’ll be glad to be out of school!

Tuesday, Dec. 17, 1991 My favorite Christmas song is "The Twelve Pains of Christmas". I think that is a hilarious song!  I’m not sure what my favorite movie about Christmas is. I like "the Grinch that Stole Christmas". It’s funny. I’ll be glad when Christmas is over, so we’ll have new entries for our journal. Ha! Ha! Pardon me…

Monday, Dec. 16, 1991 I’m sorta tired of talking about Christmas. Everything is so hectic this year. Money is tight and everything is in such a frazzle. Only 4 more days of school and we are outta here for 2 weeks! Thank God!  I have to go see my Dad, though! I don’t look forward to the…

Friday, Dec. 13, 1991 Actually, all I want for Christmas is happiness and health. Of course, I’d love a car, but I’d settle for the happy, healthy stuff. I think I’m going to Mississippi for a few days. I’ll hate that, but I’ll get over it. I hope you have a really nice holiday. Heaux! Heaux! Heaux! Merry Christmas!

Thursday, Dec. 12, 1991 I haven’t done my Christmas shopping yet. I like shopping for gifts, but just not during this time of the year. Everyone, including me, waits until the last minute to rush out and get stuff for everything. I haven’t even gotten a tree yet. That has to be my favorite part of Christmas.…

Wednesday, Dec. 11, 1991 When I was a child, Christmas was more fun. I got more presents and there was Santa Claus. My mom never told me there was no Santa, but I knew. Gifts were much cheaper then. Of course, I didn’t buy many then. It seemed like such a big deal then, and now it…

Tuesday, Dec. 10, 1991 We usually get our tree around the second week in December at the cheapest place we can find. I usually decorate it and take it down. My mom doesn’t like messing with it. It has lots of lights and tons of icicles. I like to sit and watch the lights with the…

Monday, Dec. 9, 1991 I ran outside, and there it sat…an empty driveway. But, as I looked more closely, there was a piece of paper on the ground. It said "Why don’t you try down the street."  So, I walked calmly down my driway, to my street. I rounded the corner carefully, keeping my eyes all squinty. As I opened…
