Ah, to be eleven years old again. (Hint: you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming.)

November 14, 1978

Reading about being a teenager is exhausting. I am so not one of those people who wants to go back to when I was a kid. No way no how!

Ah yes, Jaap the boy from Holland. I loved him from afar, and he was very sweet. When his family moved back home, he gave me his stilts. If that's not TLA, I don't know what is.

I love that. I should get mine down - I actually have the Official Preppy Handbook Diary with lock!
I don't remember age 11 very well but I started my diary when I was 13. I still have and keep the journal almost 50 years later. This sounds very hokey but I included the journal in my will (who gets it, who can read it and how many years after I die). And no, it does not go to my only grown child!
You're right about the kickin' and screamin' part, but the memories - ahh, the memories!!! My mother threw away all of my journals…that's probably why I'm in bad need of therapy!!
I threw my early journals out, but I have the highschool ones which are almost more painful.
I still use those little cheap notebooks like that one!
Oh my God, I have that exact SAME DIARY!!! The blue silk one with the red leatherette binding, and the asian patterns printed on the pages!
Yours is much more colorful than mine though. (I kept mine in 11th grade.)
susie — this one was my first journal, and looking back on it it is very much my favorite.

"Parents who choose a stroller that seats their baby facing away from them could risk long-term development problems in their children" -- I call BULLSHIT. Why is this being made an issue?

Oh Christina, there's no shame at all. And good for you for deciding to fight for your marriage.
OK, we're all meeting Laura at pickup today and we're going to kick ass and take names.
Amen.
Loralee is at the hospital with a major kidney infection. Hustle over and tell her something funny.
Perfect! I couldn't have said it better myself.
YAY Simone!!
Sounds heavenly, but I'm left wondering what in the world is a "Teutonic spank?"
Congrats! (And I totally better be in that 20 or I'm going to cut you at BlogHer!)

Stop by and leave some kind words.
