Every Saturday, I invite you to meet 15 year old Carol who is dieting in the hopes that thinness will win the boy of her dreams, Chevy.

Today I weigh 130 lbs.

Today I thought I was over Chevy. I told Laurie and JoAnne that I was. Then I got to thinking of him and all of sudden I felt sad that I thought that. So I went and told Laurie that it wasn't over, not for awhile anyways.

I got 100% in Geometry. I am so glad. The other kids clapped when they found out and Bonnie K. shook my hand. I'm really proud.

Went to Mango's in the evening. We went to the park and swung. Summer, you're beautiful.
I'm trying not to think about Chevy. I'm getting an honor pin, hurray!

Went to church. I haven't been for such a long time.
Rlynne, Mango and I went for a walk in the afternoon. We met Cindy and Aline. Cindy said, "Do you look good." So we all went walking around.
I saw Chevy's car coming and there were two people in it. I got kinda scared. When he passed, he looked at me. I just glanced at him cause I wanted to see who the other person was. Luckily it was only his Dad.
Rlynne whispered, "He's looking at you."
After he passed the corner, he really sped up.
Mango said, "Did you see the way he was looking?" I thought she meant it was a dirty look so I didn't answer. Then she said, "It doesn't look as if he hates you."
That made me very happy.

Ah, to be a teenager again! Do you know what ever happened to Chevy? Do you still see him?
I still talk to some of my high school flings -- especially, though, my wife. We had our first date 22 years ago, when I was a senior. Some things hang on...

What a lovely idea Carol....it's great fun to read your memories...I'm here from Michele tonight, and if you have a moment, the "LIE" on my blog is now revealed! lol
J. Andrew,
Ah, you will have to wait for the story to tell...
Hi OOLotH!
Awww, what a cute idea!
Btw, Michele sent me!!!
A great idea there, Carol. Well written.
Hi Carol, I still have a diary from when I was 10. It is so boring. I guess if I waited till I was 15 to do one, it would have been more interesting. It's the only thing I have left from my childhood.
I wonder how it all turns out.
Thanks Jean Luc.
I will have to check your blog out to see how everyone on the Enterprise is doing these days.
Colleen, Was that a 5 year diary?
