New Years Eve party turned into a nightmare that lasted until 5 in the morning

December 31, 1964, Thursday Wild Open Party for New Years Eve

Worked on Senior Play from 9 am to 4 pm, than came home. Lauri called and said the girls would be at my house at 7:30. I was depressed, because I thought it would be a dead night! Mom and Dad left, then the boys started coming. They weren’t cute and I felt like a stranger in my own home. I didn’t know anyone. It was pretty boring. The…

December 30, 1964, Wednesday

Had my Senior pictures taken with Pearl. Then drove to the beach for old times. It was the last time this year and it made me sad, because it brought back old good and bad memories. All the fun of Howard, Dave, Doug and I wish Byron. I’ve still got to get him! Toes is all deserted, nobody goes there anymore accept me and Sandy. She still hopes to run into Jack…

December 29, 1964, Tuesday

Well today was it with Nana! She bugged me too much! I finally told her off. I really told her what I thought of her. It was a terrible fight, but I can’t stand to see my Mom hurt so much. So, Nana really got it. I told her nobody could stand her and she never closes her mouth long enough to listen to anybody else. I found out you can’t argue with her, she has an answer…

My mother wore the famous "Scandal Suit," while I preferred a black fringe bikini

December 28, 1964, Tuesday.

We got our bathing suits from Fiesta Pools, after 6 months of waiting. When you buy a pool from their company, they give all the women new suits free. I didn’t like any of them. Then I took my sister Donna and her girlfriend shopping and I got 3 pair of capris… black, red and coral. I came home and got dresssed. Pearl picked me up and we picked up Donna and Marilyn…

December 27, 1964, Monday. Nana bugs about everything!

Didn’t do anything all day. I didn’t even get dressed. Nana stayed all night again. She opened her Christmas presents, but will probably return everything as usual. I couldn’t stand it if she lived here. She’s always putting Mommy down with little remarks, like, “it’s a pity Daddy can’t get the right food, he’s just dying, eating nothing but…

December 25, 1964, Saturday. My Fair Lady opens today

Was too tired to get up with the kids. Slept until 2:00. I got a white leather coat lined in black fur, with a hood, which I didn’t like, so I’m taking it back. Also got my wine and pink colored capri outfit I wanted and I love it! Mom and Dad loved the things I gave them. They were so sweet. Unk Ile, Jean and Al and their kids, my cousin John…

I learned the true meaning of Christmas by caring about others more than myself.

December 24, 1964, Thursday. (It was one year ago that Howard called me and we got back together.)

This was the worst day of work. We were just flooded! I was on my feet for 9 hours without sitting. I finished my Christmas shopping. Got Mom two blouses, a skirt, capris, perfumed hangers, and a bra. And, for Daddy, brown pants, shirt, sweater, socks and a tiny Crown tie clasp. Out of everything I…

December 23, 1964, Wednesday

Worked all day, it’s really getting tough these last days of Christmas. Everybody’s doing there last minute shopping and we’re just going crazy with wrapping. I got off for a break and Mom picked me up. She was very upset with Daddy. He’s giving her a lot of trouble about spending too much money. Now she’s taking back everything she got for herself. She went home…

December 22, 1964, Tuesday

Was 45 minutes late for work. Mom and Dad came by and we went out to lunch. Mom picked me up at about 7:00 and we just came home. I cut my hair again, because there were scissors there and I can’t control myslef if I see scissors. I hope I didn’t ruin it. I cut about 6 inches off the crown and sides. I can’t wait to see it tomorrow.There are only two more days of work,…

December 21, 1964, Monday

Worked all day long. My feet are just killing me. Ihaven’t started Christmas shopping. After work I took Janice home, then went shopping. We’re getting Daddy a Polaroid Camera, it cost $116. I’m paying for $50.00 of it maybe, or I will just by them both clothes.

  A $116.00 Polaroid Camera in today’s money would be about $800.00.  So for me to pay for half of it was a…
