May 1974

May 5 ,1974:

Happy Birthday, my precious darling baby 9-month old brother. I Love you, Dino. Today is Sunday. It was hard to get up since Michelle and I talked a lot last night. We were late for Sunday School. Sat with Charles during church. He and Tip kept talking about all the girls in Charles's life. It really sort of made me mad. After church (against my will) Michelle started to bawl him out. He ran off and went walking with Connie. Came home. Michelle stayed here all afternoon. Went to choir late. Went to New Members training for the last time. Didn't sing in choir tonight. After church we went to the YMCA. Charles went swimming. I played basketball and messed around (a little) with Stanley and Ricky. Gave Charles a ride home. I sat on his lap. He told me "You're the only one that matters." Mom wouldn't let me talk when he called.

Monday. Today is really May 6. Wore Darlene's pink vest to school. Today is Charles and mine's 2 month anniversary. That's what I wore on March 8. John came over and talked to me the whole time during Spanish. In science we had a party cause Liz Vega is Mexican and yesterday was Mexican Independence Day. Ate lunch with Michelle, Donna Shore and Kathy Keszler. Everyone keeps telling me I should be mad at Charles since he asked another girl to the prom. But I'm not really that mad. Maybe I should be. I really do like him a lot. Now my life has meaning. We talked for an 1 1/2 hours. 45 minutes at 7:30. 45 minutes at 9:15. He's so sweet and good and kind. I like him a lot. John came over on his cycle today. He stayed for an hour. Mom really likes him.

May 7, 1974: Tuesday. Dino was very sick last night and this morning. So I stayed home form school to help mom take him to the Doctor. He has strep throat. Went to Gibson's . Then came home. Watched my soap operas. Ate lunch. I got a comic book and TV guide in Spanish. Went back to school. At lunch talked to John Taylor, Kathy Earl, Jeff Mann, Matt Baldrich and several others. Went to the cafeteria during Speech cause Miss Westerhiede is busy with the play. Came home. Practiced a lot. Dad brought pizzas home for supper. Watched Happy Days. Charles called at 9:00. We talked for 20 minutes. He kept talking to his sister. I got mad and sort of hung up. He called back at 9:58- 10:00. He said he had something to ask me but chickened out.
