I forgot to mention last night when we got home I listened to the radio and about 10:00 we heard Crown Prince Olaf of Norway speak. He talked a bit in Norwegian and it was so nice to hear. I'm glad I'm Norwegian! I'm proud of it - very. Well this space is really for a review of the month of April but somehow this month isn't very outstanding. I always think so much is going to happen and so very little does. Perhaps if I don't expect too much, well we shall see. My plans for the month of May, the merry month of May, I should say consist of less dreaming and more doing -
The month of May is going to be used to find a career I'd like to follow and the furthering of that career. I'm also going to lose at least 10 pounds of weight because I'm definitely losing my figure that I've always been rather proud of and now is the time I need it most. My work at the office leaves me feeling so tired and drown out that all I can think of is coming home and relaxing in an easy chair with some good reading matter. However, that will never do because I've got to develop my personality this month too - I've got a lot to strive for - anyway it sounds good -

Ev Came for me and we went up there for dinner and after that we drove down to the shore. I wonder if this year will be like last with me going down the Seiberts practically every weekend? Well anyway we went over to Jessie's and I met Marcel her new boyfriend - he seems nice. Then Ginny who was down at her cottage joined Ev and I and we went down the beach took a few pictures then we walked up to Dunnings Store talked to Mr. and Mrs. Curtis who are back from Florida and had this store opened. We had sodas and cookies. Then back and sat in the sun for awhile until it was time to go. Drove home through Hartford where we could see all the beautiful daffodils on the Aetna Bank and etc.

Had an awful morning! more darn work! Went with Karin and Evelyn to Embassy and saw "Dark Victory"with Bette Davis and George Brent. It was so marvelous! and sad! I cried and sniffled something terrible! So did everyone else! After our usual visit to Contaris I went home and had supper. Ann K. and Betty came down and I asked Ann about N.Y. and work there. The reason I wanted to know was because I decided definitely today to have a career! The only trouble is I just don't know what line of work I want to take up. Modeling? Dress Designing? Acting? I don't know. I've got to take steps toward seeing what I have talent for. I really mean this!

Mom and Pop went to Yale College with Mr. and Mrs. Jensen to hear the Norwegian Student singers from Norway. Karin came down here to walk with me to meeting. She is all excited about this Ray. She said she was in love with him and he with her. She got her license today and that made something else for her to be excited about. She said Ray was coming to meeting tonight to get her and we could meet him. However, he came along in the car and picked us up. I didn't get much of a look at him and he seems like a nice fellow. He took us to Noa's and Karin came in for a minute. We had a nice meeting. Left early got a ride with Dotty and Eddie who were going to the carnival.

Eunice came up for supper tonight. She brought magazines for Ruthie and a box of candy for the rest. No wonder all the kids love her. After supper Mom and Pop went out and we washed the dishes and cleaned up things. Marit and I made Eunice up - put on loads of lipstick, powder, rouge, and stuff and gee she looked swell. We had a nice time - had coffee and cookies in the good old way. Eunice and Pete are quite serious she tells me. I'm glad because I think he's just the type for her. She left about 11:30. Mom won a dollar at Bingo and was she proud! Well that's all I guess, anyway all I can think of.

Well I don't have to go to the dentist again at least I hope. I went tonight and had the last treatment. It cost me $4.50 counting Ruthie's extraction and thats very reasonable. I had visions of ten, fifteen dollars. Am I glad! Got home rather late had supper (of course why do I bother even mention it?) and called Karin who was quite her normal self once more. Ray is coming down to see her tonight. Couldn't get the car last night. Well thats that. I hope she remembers our heart to heart talk last night and doesn't get too over confident in her self. Its not good!

Ginny and I met Karin in the Contaris, Karin said Ray might be up for supper anyway but if he did come he wouldn't be there until 8:30 so I finally agreed. After supper we talked and also jumped rope outside (more fun). We then went upstairs and Karin showed me some of the notes she had gotten from Ray. She certainly seems to like them. Karin got dressed and we sat and waited for the darn boy to come but he didn't. We went for a walk and we noticed this coupe driving slowly by. We thought it might be Ray so we went back to the house but it hadn't been him so we walked back to the Drug Store again and had cokes and smokes and talked. Karin asked it I minded her gibbering to me and I said "No, as long as I feel you only gibbering and not gloating". Oh she said she'd never do that! Anyway we're a lot better friends!
