September 2003
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 I was surprised to get a letter from Paula today. It was a nice one too, saying I’d always be her best friend and the only one who really understands her. Anyway, her ...
August 2003
SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 2003 Two Divas down, one more to go in the series. Yes, I won the doll! I’m actually quite happy about it too rather than bummed because I’m not in as much debt as I thought I’...
July 2003
THURSDAY, JULY 31, 2003 They’re putting in a well on Dan’s property. What was weird, though, was the tractor we saw that appeared to be leveling for a house on the other side of the property tow...
June 2003
SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 2003 I awoke to a rather disturbing sight out front. Maybe it doesn’t mean anything, but we’ll see. Well, there’s an old trailer, similar to the one we stayed in, parked betwe...
May 2003
FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2003 Tom said it rained really hard for about 5 minutes at 4 AM and asked if it woke me up. Nope. Never heard a thing and I slept with the fan on low, too. I sleep with it on low...
April 2003
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2003 Although only a third of the year has passed, I’m sure April 30th will always be the best day of 2003. Yes, I have some absolutely shocking, mind-boggling, unbelievably...
March 2003
SUNDAY, MARCH 30, 2003 The black bitch says I have to be in bed by 4 AM. You see, I’m in a tough spot with my schedule right now. I was getting up too late to report this Wednesday afternoon and...
February 2003
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2003 This has certainly been a wet winter! This is the fourth rainy/cloudy day in a row. Even so, we managed to bomb yesterday, so I feel a lot better. We didn’t think to p...
January 2003
FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2003 Finally, the last day of January has arrived. I don’t know why, but for some reason, it’s felt like this month has been dragging on forever. My bangs are now to the poi...
December 2002
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2002 Well, that’s weird. Webshots never put out new pictures like they usually do after midnight. Tom got in a couple of hours ago saying it was freezing out. Like in the 20...
November 2002
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2002 That was the most activity I’ve ever seen on Ralston at once since I’ve been here! An ATV zipped up the road, then a redheaded woman on a brown horse galloped by. Foll...
October 2002
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2002 There have been no updates since the dolls left Hodgkins, Illinois at noon our time yesterday, but I’m keeping track. Tom sent me the email with the link for tracking i...
September 2002
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 Tom gave me an old blue yo-yo in which Joy’s hands are perfect. I shortened it to a height suitable for a doll her size, using rubber bands to keep it from unwinding al...
August 2002
SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 2002 I’m typing this as I soak my feet in warm water laced with baby oil. My feet get so rough with calluses, so I took a scrub brush and scrubbed at the rough spots before s...
July 2002
WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2002 I did some cleaning, did my workout, printed out the grocery list, so now I’m free to read, write, watch TV or whatever. I was surprised to find I have a 29” waist at 125...
June 2002
SUNDAY, JUNE 30, 2002 Tom was watching a home improvement show that told him that the direction of our dryer door could be reversed. I always wished it opened the other way and he fixed it. Sneez...
May 2002
THURSDAY, MAY 30, 2002 I left Paula a message two mornings ago and haven’t heard back from her, so this makes me think something’s up. I’m really sick of writing to her only to get maybe one lett...
April 2002
TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 2002 It looks like Scot will be skipping April altogether, as far as seeing me here goes, but we’ll know for sure in a few hours. I kind of doubt I’ll see him before Friday. I ...
March 2002
SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 2002 I’m so psyched over the fact that April’s less than 24 hours away! Finally!!! April’s gonna be a fun month. We’re going to a department store for the first time in ages, I’...
February 2002
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2002 I’m pretty tired today. Two more days of this shit, though this time, I can’t blame it all on the freeloaders, believe it or not. I’d still have to hold my schedule f...
January 2002
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2002 I hate God for allowing our heat pump to break after all the things that have broken on us already! I really do. I’m gonna hate him even more on the first, no doubt. A...
December 2001
MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2001 It looks like I was wrong when I said that if I just kept up the exercise, my weight would stay around 120 pounds. At 125 pounds, though I’ve begun dieting, I’d say that...
November 2001
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2001 Paula left a message saying she changed her number cuz some girl’s been driving her nuts. Too bad she wasn’t out here. She could get her hung for it. It’s a Puerto Rican...
October 2001
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2001 Right now, one year ago, I woke up gagging on cigarette smoke with my heart racing with anxiety, so sure we’d lost the house. But this year I’m waiting for my loving h...
September 2001
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2001 I’ve been so busy that I haven’t written. Here’s a quick update as to what’s been going on. His ma’s computer’s broken, so he brought it home to work on and Mary made m...
