September Memoranda 1939
I don't know what to write on this page. I wish I knew what to do with me. I'm getting bored with just sitting around listening to everyone talk about their boyfriends and etc etc. Well what I need is a little excitement I guess and I'll leave it at that ---
At the end of this month I want to have lost enough weight so that I weigh about 130 lbs or less! I also want to have at least started my fall and winter wardrobe.
"Where there's a will there's a way!"
That will be my motto for this month.

Got up at 10:30 and of course seeing as I got sick yesterday I didn't feel altogether perfect today. I cleaned the house or part of the house. Mrs. Seibert is ill so we couldn't go down to the shore. I hope she recovers soon. It was nice to spend a day at home. I fixed the pictures in my album, a thing I've been putting off for ages. Marit went to the football game N.B. won and now she's gone to a "Y" dance. No wonder she's losing weight or is she? She got a new shirt and sweater (Blue teal and blue boxie) They fit me! Mr. and Mrs. Christopherson here.

Ginny came home with me to supper and Karl drove us to Dotty's. We were all at meeting except for Karin. We had such a very nice meeting. Ginny told the girls she is definitely going to get a diamond for Christmas. I can only hope and pray that he's the right one for her! I do so want little Ginny to be happy. Noa wore her new red corduroy dress and looked stunning as always. She told us Terry expects a baby in February and I think that's wonderful. Noa's Mother and Father took us home. Noa gave us little souvenirs from her vacation. I got a little red dog.

We're going to the FYP meetings on Friday starting this week so no meeting tonight. Mom asked me to go with her to Bingo tonight so I, having nothing else to do, decided to go. It was fun but not very exciting. Of course didn't win a thing and neither did Mom. Noa called up before I went and wanted to come up but seeing as I'd promised Mom and she was so insistent that I go of course it was Bingo for me. Mom looked so nice, she's a very good looking woman. I decided that at Bingo when I sat looking around at all the women.

It has been a rainy, dreary and short day too. Ann Marie's birthday today, she was eight years old and I sent her a dollar in a card. Home after work and settled myself in with a magazine until supper then finished my story after supper, listened to radio, didn't take long of course and finally got ready for bed and here I am. I'm getting so discouraged concerning my diet. Somehow when it gets colder I just have to eat I get such an enormous appetite but well where there's a will there's a way and that's my will I will get down to 125 lbs. I will.

Lillian Larsen Shower
September 26, 1939 Tuesday
Of course seeing as the shower was tonight it would rain! Olga came for me. She had Lydia with her and then we got Jane and went down there. Myrtle met us at the door and Betty A. introduced us. The front room was dark and crowded with people. Lots of them I didn't even know! There were 53 present. We waited ages for Lillian to appear and finally when she did we all shouted "surprise!". She took it quite well, I'm sure I would have passed out. Our department gave her an iron. She got loads of stuff. Ginny and Dot there in new dresses, they looked sweet. Got home about 11:45. A good time had by all - I think.

The usual kind of an office day but after work I went with Ginny down to Conns where she had her new dress fitted. It's so sweet green with a bustle back. We then met Noa and Ev in the Candy Box and had a hot dog and coke and then went to the Strand where we saw Gary Cooper, Robt. Preston, Ray Milland and Susan Hayward in Beau Geste also a Nancy Drew Staircase Mystery. Good show. Home and had supper and heard most of the Lux Radio Theatre play "She Married Her Boss" with Ginger Rogers and Geo. Brent - good. Mom told me Rachel had talked to Mrs. Jensen who said they are moving to Hartford in 2 weeks. Well thats that and I suppose Karin and I won't be seeing much of each other.
