Entry #10
Well this is a very special time for me. First let me say that the other day was one year ago to the day that I
picked Jeannie up off the island in her bottle. Of course all I had on my mind that day was going into orbit.
Jeannie was terribly upset that I wouldn't stay behind and celebrate with her, and obviously I couldn't make her
understand. So what does she do? She gets smart and makes it to where I have to be brought down on the same island
where I picked her up a year ago that day. Oh, I was so mad.
So I was ranting and raving and I picked up "her" bottle (at least I thought it was hers) and pulled the cork and
told her to come on out. Only it wasn't her. It was some ugly blue thing. It was a blue genie. It turns out that
he was the evil bird brain that imprisoned Jeannie in her bottle for refusing to marry him. I could see why. He was
atrocious, not to mention, mean.
I found Jeannie's bottle and let her out not knowing who he was at the time and I once again almost had my Jeannie
taken away from me. I thought for sure I was going to lose her this time, but luckily Jeannie took my hint and she
got us back to my house in Cocoa Beach, but bird brain followed us and he almost killed me a couple of times. So I
decided to trick him and I got him into my vacuum cleaner like I did one time with Jeannie when I was trying to get
her to stay home when I was going somewhere. So Jeannie proceeds to take the vacuum cleaner and dump it and bird
brain in the ocean. Well it worked for a while.
Later on, I proceeded to take Jeannie out for our one year anniversary of knowing each other. I was ready and Jeannie
walked in as I was tying my tie. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes on and she had the most
beautiful smile to go with it. Something inside me just took a leap when I would look at her. Before we left, she
decided to wear something else, but I didn't care. She looked beautiful no matter what. She blinks us back the island
where I found her and we thought everything was alright, but uh oh. Here comes bird brain. He had escaped from the vacuum.
So Jeannie blinks us home, but in her bottle and how he didn't get there, I'll never know. One year with Jeannie has sure
been interesting. Yes, she has nearly gotten me into a mess of trouble. But it sure has all been worth it. She is the
best thing that has ever happened to me and I just wonder could I really be…well, gotta go.
Entry #11
I took Jeannie out the other night for our one year anniversary of knowing each other and after getting rid of the blue bird
brain, I knew she needed some peace and excitement. We went to dinner first and then we went dancing. Then we went for a
drive along the beach (She seems to like the beach for some reason). I don't know which one of us had more fun, me or her.
This is puzzling to me, but for some reason, I could hardly take my eyes off her all night. She was so beautiful, but I've
seen beautiful girls before, but for some reason, I just couldn't take my eyes off her and at times, I felt somewhat breathless.
At one point while we were dancing, she just looked at me with those eyes that just seem to make me melt and said, "Master,
thank you for the most wonderful year of my life." I just smiled and said, "Your welcome", but what I should have said was,
"No, thank you, Jeannie, for coming into my life." But I didn't and I could kick myself for it. She has definitely given
me a run for my money this last year almost getting me into big trouble, but somehow it just doesn't seem to matter. All
the good she does far outweighs any trouble she made. That was even fun sometimes seeing her try to get me out of trouble.
She's amazing. She's beautiful. She's kind, warm hearted, loving, caring, etc.. Chee, I feel like I could go on forever,
but I better go.
Entry #12
I stuck my foot in my mouth, again! The other night I went to bed so tired I could hardly roll out of bed Monday morning.
Jeannie comes in and tells me good morning like she always does and we got to talking and I just happened to open my mouth
and say something like I wish everyday could be Sunday and so what does she do? She stops time to where everyday could be
Sunday!
I thought I was really losing my mind this time. I kept on insisting to everyone, including Roger and Dr. Bellows, that the
day was Monday and they both thought I had really lost it. Once I figured out it was Jeannie who did it, I did everything I
could to get her to go back to Monday and being the stubborn genie she is, she wouldn't listen. She kept saying, "It will
remain Sunday until you are rested." Oh boy!
Then she proceeds to keep blinking me to all these places. The jungle, skiing at the top of the highest mountain possible of
which I took the biggest fall of my life. Each time I would come back raving and telling her to stop it, but would she listen?
No! Of course not! I yelled at her and I shouldn't have. While I was gone to the last place she blinked me, she proceeded
to pack and leave. Uh, oh, Tony you've done it again. I know she means well but I just lost my patience.
When I got back, Roger was at my house and I was ranting and raving and Roger told me that Jeannie was gone. My heart just about
jumped up into my throat. He told me what she had told him to tell me which was to eat right, get enough rest and that she
loved me. I then felt about two inches tall. She was just trying to help me. I should've been more gentle about telling her
she just couldn't stop time like that, but no, I had to act like a raving lunatic and make her feel bad. The fact that she had said
she loved me made me feel worse. How could I have been so harsh.
After Roger left, I started calling out to her and telling her I was sorry and that I didn't mean it and of course while I was
doing that, nosey Dr. Bellows comes walking through the door (doesn't he know how to knock?). Once again, Dr. Bellows tried to catch
me in my tracks. Does he ever quit? (of course not, Tony-you ought to know that by now). So naturally I had to make something up
(even though I said I was going to "confess") and yes, Dr. Bellows had to try to get General Peterson to see it. So when General
Peterson got there, I told him I was trying to write a song. Me write a song and sing? HAHA! But I got away with it. When I
went into the kitchen for something, Jeannie popped back in and said she had changed her mind about leaving and that she could never
leave me and that she had heard all the beautiful things I had said to her. So she heard me talking. Is that good or bad ? (Especially
since I said I would like to marry her-why did I say that?). I was so relieved. I had gotten off the hook with Dr. Bellows and
General Peterson and my Jeannie didn't leave. I don't know what I would have done if she had left.
Entry #13
Boy, Jeannie really pulled a good one today. Jeannie and I had a date tonight and Roger came over this morning to tell me that he
had lined up double dates for us with two girls that were in town. His mistake was telling Jeannie. He should have known better
knowing what she is capable of. So he tells Jeannie and Jeannie tells him that she and I had a date and he just acts smart saying
I can go out with her anytime and that these girls were only in town for a while. So Jeannie does what she's good at. She uses her
magic and turns Roger into a poodle. A poodle!
When I found out she had turned Roger into a dog, I went crazy. I kept asking her why she did that and she said she would tell me
after 6:00 that night. I knew something was up. After she had turned him into a poodle, she put him out the front door to try and
keep me from seeing him and the dog pound ends up picking him up. Now there really was trouble.
I take off for the pound and go to the gate and start calling his name out and I can only imagine what I must have looked like doing
that. I even asked the dogs that which ever one was him to let me know and so this Great Dane jumps up and of course I thought it
was him, so I proceeded to pay the fee and take him home. Then Jeannie says that it wasn't him. She said he was a poodle. Ok, back
to the pound I go.
After I get there, I find a little boy and his dad bought him. I had to try and talk the dad into giving him to me and it wound up
costing me $450 to get Roger back. I knew I had to get Jeannie to change him back. I ended up at NASA with "Roger" and Dr. Bellows
caught me trying to talk to "him" about a report we had worked on and I thought I was sunk for sure and Dr. Bellows thought he would
be the perfect dog to send into orbit. Oops. Jeannie!! Luckily she came to change him back in time. There are more details I
could write, but it's just little stuff.
Later that night, she and I were getting ready to leave when this girl calls me to tell me that I was supposed to take her out.
Now it all made sense. Roger made those dates not knowing I had already made plans with Jeannie and told her about it and that was
all the fiasco with turning him into a poodle was all about. Well what could I do? I had no choice, I had to take the girl out.
The thing is, if Roger would have told me and not Jeannie I would have told him that I already had plans with Jeannie and that I
could not go with him on the double date or if Jeannie would have just been honest with me, I would have told Roger I couldn't go
because I had plans with Jeannie, but she wasn't and I couldn't leave the girl hanging. So Jeannie pulls another doozy and turns
both girls into chimps. Why does she do those things? I wonder if I'll ever know.
Entry #14
I have had an intriguing couple of days. It all started the other day when Jeannie revealed something to me. I had mentioned to her
that it was Roger's birthday and I wanted her to help me think of something to do for him. I had said something about a party and made
the remark that she had probably had lots of them being as old as she is and she hadn't. She said she had never had a birthday party
and that she didn't really even know when her birthday is. I couldn't believe it. How could she not know when her birthday is? She
said it was no big deal, but I knew better. I had suggested we would celebrate her birthday on Roger's birthday too, but she said no
and that it wasn't the same as having her own birthday. She had a point, but I just want her to feel special too. Then I told her to
go ask her mother and that surely she would know and when she got back, I would give her the best birthday party ever. She squealed with
delight and left. So I didn't think too much more about it.
Then she pops into my office at NASA with a long face. Her mother and others had each given her different months that she had been born
in and that she couldn't tell from them when she was born. Poor kid. I told her to try a few other things to find out, but nothing came
through. She just couldn't find out. Then I just told her to pick a day and we would celebrate that as her birthday, but she didn't want
to do that. I couldn't blame her. She started getting very depressed about not knowing and I didn't like seeing her like that. It hurt
me to see her so upset. She got so depressed she started fading away and losing her powers like she did that time we had to go to Mecca.
She said that happens if she gets upset enough. I couldn't let that happen. The thought of losing her, well I just couldn't. Roger and
I set out to find out when her birthday is.
NASA got this new computer machine called ERIC that is supposed to be able to find out anything and I mean anything. The only thing
Jeannie knew abut her birth is that she was born when ------. Roger and I put that in the machine and it seemed like it took
forever, but we got something, only to have Dr. Bellows walk in on us and take it away from us (oops, we got caught). All we got off that
piece of paper was the year 64 B.C. Dr. Bellows chewed us out good saying that we were to never use it again, unless so and so was there
to program it for us. I tried to get him to tell us the date on that piece of paper, but he wouldn't. (Now what were we going to do?).
Roger and I were sunk.
When we got back to my office, Jeannie popped in again in my office and was more depressed than ever. She said it was no use and then she
was fading away. Roger and I tried to cheer her up, but she couldn't make herself happy again, unless she knew her birthday. Since I
couldn't get her to blink home, I had to have her muster all her strength to blink into my desk drawer as Dr. Bellows was coming in. He
told me he was going to use my office while I was gone to Alaska since his was being painted. Oh, no, now what was I going to do? Jeannie
was stuck in my drawer and she couldn't blink out. How was I going to get her out of there? I had to find out when her birthday was.
Roger and I decided to chance it with ERIC again. I knew we were chancing it big time, but I just had to for Jeannie's sake. I couldn't
lose her and I wanted to see her happy again. After all, she is worth it.
Anyways, Roger said to be sure we got it on the nose (get the right date), we should enter Jeannie's qualities (stubborn, hardheaded, loving,
kind, etc…). So while Roger took care of that, I had to stall Dr. Bellows. So I made like I had a problem I needed to discuss with him.
I laid down on the couch in my office and told him my "problem". My made up problem was ever since I was a young boy, I had a compulsion to
steal animals (What was I? Nuts? Yeah, nuts for Jeannie.-Did I say that?). Of course, this interested Dr. Bellows very much. Meanwhile, Roger
managed to get Jeannie's birthday. He comes rushing in and Dr. Bellows tried to get him to leave, but he didn't. Dr. Bellows went after
General Peterson, obviously to tell him what I told him about my "problem". Well Roger raved about knowing Jeannie's birthday and Jeannie was
happy again. She stopped fading and hers powers returned. She got out of my desk drawer (thank goodness). But Roger, being the crazy nut he
is, decided to try and play the guessing game with us, only to have General Peterson and Dr. Bellows snatch him away and send him to Alaska
right then and there in my place because Dr. Bellows thought I had a "problem". (How do I get myself into these things?). Jeannie got angry
because she thought Roger was fooling us, but I talked her down. Roger called a few times and each time I asked him for Jeannie's birthday
and each time he tried to get me to play the guessing game. (I think he lives to playfully irritate people-especially me-not-he's a good guy).
So after I talked Jeannie down from being mad, I told her birthday or no, I was going to give her a party and since she didn't know anyone,
it was just the two of us (at first). I told her I'd be home later and I went to work.
I came home that evening with some roses, a present, and some snacks. I called for her and she appeared dressed and ready. Once again, my
breath was taken away. She was so beautiful. I could have stood there all night and looked at her. She was absolutely beautiful. I gave
her the roses and she said she could cry. All I could think of was, "Please don't or I may give in for good." Well she melted and so did
I seeing her so happy and seeing the look on her face. She opened her present and she was overjoyed. I wouldn't take anything for the joy
I saw in her. Then, I had to open my mouth about wishing more people could be there and she proceeds to blink up all these ancient people
like Shakespeare, Sigmund Freud, Cleopatra, etc… Of course, Dr. Bellows would have to drop by at that time and see everything. I'm not
getting into that except to say I got out of it (again). This has just been the most amazing few days and even though Roger got sent to
Alaska instead of me, I think it was for the best. I needed to be here for Jeannie. She needs to know that she was put here for a purpose,
no matter what day it all started. She is someone very special and I can't imagine not having her in my life right now. I find myself
looking forward to seeing her when I come home at night. Even though she's not supposed to, I kind of enjoy it when she pops into NASA
unannounced (but I can't tell her that or she would do it all the time). She means so much to me.
Entry #15
I think Jeannie and I deserve each other. I guess I'm a typical guy. I like football. Obviously, Jeannie felt ignored because, well, I
guess I was ignoring her by watching too much football. What can I say? I like football. Is that a crime? Well, I guess it is if it
almost cost me one of the most precious things that has ever come into my life. Only this time, she tricked me and boy DID she trick me.
One morning, I was watching a game and to make me jealous, she told me she met a guy at the market. Getting more curious, I asked about him.
She told me his name was Tony (what, another Tony?). His name was Tony Millionaire. Now I knew she had to be pulling my leg, until the man
rang my doorbell and said he was Tony Millionaire and he was looking for Jeannie. Jeannie came to the door and he took her hand and kissed it
(who does he think he is-some kind of big shot!---That's my Jea----). Well, he kissed her hand (boy I'd like to take a punch at him-----).
So , he did. Then he asked her out on a date for that night (what-he asked my Jeannie on a date?!!! my Jea---). She accepts and he looks at
me and says, "Bye, Uncle" (yeah, Jeannie got smart and told him I was like an uncle to her-ok, what is that all about?). I told her she couldn't
go and she was cool about it all and asked me why not. I had to play it cool. I said she couldn't go out with someone she didn't know, especially
someone she met at the supermarket.
Well, when I came home later in the day, she was dressed up as beautiful as ever and trying to be the smart man I should be, I told her I would
take her out and she said no and that she was going on her date (she said no to me?). I tried to talk her out of it, but it did no good.
Then she told me that since I was her master, I could forbid her to go. I couldn't do that to her. I know I'm her master, but I don't feel
right forbidding her to do anything. So I let her go. I let her go!! She comes in after 3 in the morning (ok, I'm steamed now). Then Jeannie
shows me the diamond ring on her finger that she said he gave her. Oh no, now I was getting really nervous. Where did all this come from?
How did all this happen? One day she's the same Jeannie I picked up on the beach and the next day she is head over heels for some-some jiving
hot shot! I had to do something. I got to talk to Roger and I thought if I could get him to tell me when her birthday is, I would tell her,
then take her out and she would forget all about the other guy. I told him if I didn't do something, I could lose her.
Well, twice I almost had it out of him, but he got pulled away from the phone. I then found out Jeannie was going to marry this guy. Oh no,
now what was I going to do? I was going to lose her-I was losing my Jeannie! I started to feel this ache in my heart (now where could that be
coming from?). I got so distracted, depressed, and down that it affected everything. It obviously showed because General Peterson came to my
office and showed me something I had written for a report (what could that be?). He read the whole thing to me and it didn't sound out of order
till he got to the last part and it read as follows, "I love ya." Did he say what I think he said? Did I write that and why did I? Then he
asked me if I was having problems with a girl. What could I say? We talked about it and he asked me if I loved her. I didn't know what to
say. What could I say? I said I was crazy about her. So he told me to go get her. Go after her. So what did I do? I went and bought some
flowers and I was prepared to do what I had to do to keep from losing her. I got to my front door and I just happened to peer in the front
window and I saw Mr. Hot Shot "pop" in. Jeannie blinked and he "popped" in. He wasn't real. He wasn't real!!!! She put me through all that
just to make me jealous!!
Well, it worked. It really worked. But I still had to teach her a lesson. I threw the flowers in the bushes and walked in like I didn't have
a care in the world. I played it as cool as ever. I told Jeannie I didn't mind her getting married and that they should be happy. I proceeded
to go up to my study to do something. She came upstairs so quietly and she told me that man wasn't her fiancé anymore. I couldn't help but smile.
I told her I knew all about it and now she felt outsmarted (well, she did it to me first). Well, she had me hanging in the air. I did outsmart
her. The next day, I was watching another game and it looked like it was going to start all over again. She said she was going to the market
to get stuff for dinner that night. I heard that and jumped up as if a needle had stuck me. I had her pause the game with a blink so I wouldn't
miss the rest. I wasn't about to let her go to the market by herself, not after what had happened. That guy wasn't real, but who was I to take
chances? I wasn't about to lose her. As tiring as this whole experience was, before I found out he was just a guy she had blinked up, I can't
understand why I reacted the way I did. I felt almost sick when I would hear her talk about him and then she said she was going to marry him,
I felt even worse. Why was I so jealous? Maybe I really am, well…could I be…? Well, I'm off for now.
Entry #16
It would have to be my luck. After all I went through with Jeannie and that guy (even though he turned out not to be real), I would have to
get the assignment of escorting a beautiful woman around town. We had a special guest visiting NASA (at least she wasn't the Russian lady
again) and Dr. Bellows and General Peterson gave me the assignment of escorting her around town. Her name was Sharon. Why couldn't they give
this assignment to Roger? After all, he's the ladies man, not me, and besides, I've got Jea---. Well anyways, I tried to get out of it, but
I couldn't. Oh no, now how was I going to explain this to Jeannie? We're not exactly an item, but if I even mention the word "girl", her ears
perk up and her eyebrows raise as if she has some kind of radar in her head. She just can't stand the thought of me with another girl. So I
get home and try to explain to her about this assignment and that I didn't want to do it and tried to get out of it, but I couldn't and she still
started raising cane. What was I to do? I sat her down and told her that I had no interest in this girl (I hadn't even met her yet) and that
it was just one night and it would be all over. She seemed okay then, but there was something in her eyes that told me I may be seeing her
somewhere while I was out with Sharon. So I told her to stay there and be a good girl and I would be home later. I kissed her on the forehead
and left.
I met up with Sharon at the base and we went to dinner at a local night club first. It was nothing huge. We just talked and enjoyed dinner.
We paid and left (no sign of Jeannie---yet). We met up with Roger and one of his girls at another night club for some dancing. I thought that
maybe this time, Jeannie had actually decided to stay out of it all (yeah right-that's what I get for thinking). We got a table and had some
drinks (no alcohol). The four of us got to dance to a good song. All was going well for the first few seconds or so and the next thing I knew,
Sharon started dancing ten times faster and all over the dancing floor. She was on her feet part of the time and then she was on the floor.
She looked like she was break dancing. Everyone was staring. She looked horrified and said she couldn't stop. Jeannie, I just knew it!!
I called out Jeannie's name as quietly and as intensely as I could and all of a sudden, Sharon stopped. We went back to our table to have
something else to drink. Then we all got up to dance again. As we were dancing, Sharon scratched her head, then her leg, and next thing I
knew, she was scratching all over. I looked across the room and saw Jeannie peering out from behind a curtain. She caught site of me and
blinked and Sharon stopped itching. At that point, Sharon asked me if I could just take her to her hotel because she was tired and ready to call
it a night. I told her I would and that I was sorry she didn't have a better time. She said it was okay and that I was very nice and she wasn't
upset. She was just tired and ready to leave. I dropped her off at her hotel and went home. I was raving mad.
I came through the door and called out to Jeannie and she wouldn't come. I picked up her bottle and saw she was hiding in there and I ordered
her to come out. She smoked out and she ducked her head and wouldn't look at me. I chewed her out good and told her I was very upset at what
she had done. How could she have done it? She said she didn't know and that she was sorry. She tried to look so innocent. I reminded her of
what I told her before I left. This was an assignment from Dr. Bellows and General Peterson and that I didn't want to do it and tried to get
out of it, but couldn't. Besides the fact, Sharon was innocent in all this and she didn't deserve what she (Jeannie) did to her. I could tell
she was sorry. She looked at me and said she was sorry she had let herself be overcome with jealousy again. Then she had to look at me with
those eyes again and she said, "Forgive me?" I tried to stay tough, but when she looks at me that way, I can't help but melt. I told her that
I forgive her and she said she would be good from now on. I guess I can't blame her. After all, I was jealous too (but I wouldn't tell her
that). She really is very cute.
Entry #17
Boy, what ever am I going to do with Jeannie. She has pulled some doozies lately and almost gotten me into big messes of trouble. First thing
that happened was she learned about the contest that we were having at NASA and I did not want to be in it. So what does she do? She makes me
sing beautifully like Caruso. I thought it was rather cute until Dr. Bellows overheard me and she popped out. He thought I was wonderful and
wanted me to appear for Cape Kennedy in the contest, but I didn't want to. So I made Jeannie take it away and promise not to make me sing like
it again so she did. Needless to say, Dr. Bellows and General Peterson signed me up for the contest and would not let me out of it. So I thought
I would go ahead and let Jeannie have her fun and told her to give me Caruso's voice back, but she couldn't. She took the genie oath and if it
was broken, she would lose her powers. Oops, I think I'm in trouble now. I tried everything. I have came down to delaying on the show like
something was wrong, but I couldn't stall any longer. I was going to have to sing.
About that time, this woman's high soprano voice came out of my mouth. I like to have killed over then. Then my next line, out came the lowest
bass voice I ever heard. Then comes the dilly. I couldn't believe this. Out comes this child like voice and I sang, "Boop boop be doop." I
should have figured as much. I get did get a special award.
The next thing she pulled is she cast a spell on Roger to make him irresistible to women, including Mrs. Bellows and a gangster's girlfriend.
She felt sorry for him because he couldn't get a date as we had had a double date with him and a girl. He was nearly sent to the Aleutians
because of Mrs. Bellows infatuation with him. So she blinked the spell off, but this time, he was irresistible to dogs. He comes running
through my front door with a pack of dogs chasing him.
Then next comes her stunt involving my bank account. Roger and I were going to buy a boat, but Jeannie bought a bunch of fancy food for one
her dinners and I was going to back out on the boat, but decided I would apply for a loan. Jeannie went bananas at that, but went along with
it. She was afraid they would physically hurt me if I didn't pay it back, but I assured her that wouldn't happen. I was having trouble
convincing the loan officer I could pay it back when Jeannie got up to look around and she apparently got sight of my bank card and blinked
$3 million in my account and I didn't know this till later. Dr. Bellows was in the bank and over heard two guys talking about it. So naturally
he set out to prove something about me and I could have gotten kicked out of the Space Program, but luckily in time I had Jeannie blink away
all that money and what she did next, woowee. That money appeared on Dr. Bellows card. I have to admit that I enjoyed that for a brief moment,
but that wasn't right. He could have gotten into trouble too. So I made her blink his card back to normal.
Then she really got smart. She writes a book on childcare and puts my name on it as the author, not knowing that I could get in big trouble (how
does she get me into these things). Astronauts cannot endorse things like that without special permission. Low and behold the book gets published.
Dr. Bellows once again tries to prove what he has been trying to prove all along about me and puts me in charge of his nephew for an evening saying
that if I don't turn that kid around, I'm in trouble. I knew I was in for it seeing how this kid acted. As my luck would have it, General Peterson
shows up at my doorstep with his niece who is very shy asking me to do something about it. I tried to tell him I couldn't, but it was no good.
He was sure I could get this girl out of her shell. I just knew I was finished. I tried everything, but Dr. Bellows showed up to pick up his
nephew and I tried to deter him, but it was no good. I then got a big surprise. Dr. Bellows nephew and the general's niece were out back talking
and having a good time. I thought Dr. Bellows was going to fall over and General Peterson was so happy to see his niece not being so shy. These
were some of the closest calls I have had with Jeannie around. I don't know what I'm going to do with her.
Entry #18
What an interesting few days this has been. Jeannie has been wanting to learn how to drive, but I tell I can't take her out and what does she do?
She takes my car and goes out driving on her own. Oh no! Jeannie!! She goes the wrong way on a one way street, runs a red light and my car gets
impounded. I get my car back and tell Jeannie I will teach her and she absolutely must not go on her own again. Well, she pulls the same stuff
again, this time, with me in the car and I get into trouble. This cop that nabbed me was the biggest phony I ever came across. He did everything
he could including setting me up to make a kill on this arrest. Of course I had to let Roger play my lawyer in court (and I should have known
that would be a joke). First thing Jeannie did was blink up a bunch of people who looked like me so the cop couldn't identify me. She then rigged
a video that the cop took of me supposedly trying to bribe him and when the "major" sat down, it was a woman. He was toast then. That was the
funniest thing I ever saw. Jeannie really is amazing. When she gets me in trouble, she always manages to be there to get me out. She may seem
like she's a lot of trouble, but she really is a blessing to me. I just lo--- well better go.
Entry #19
There's no way to describe how my nerves got a shaking the other day. The Bellows came by the other day and Mrs. Bellows got a look at Jeannie's
bottle and had a fit over it. She insisted on my letting her borrow it so she could have a copy made of it. Well, what was I to do? I had to
let her take it. Jeannie had a fit but I explained that Mrs. Bellows just wanted a copy and she would have it back the next day. She finally
calmed down and said okay.
So I was to go to the shop Mrs. Bellows took it to and pick it up myself. Jeannie just had to be in on it. She asked if she could go to the shop
and get in the bottle so I could pick her up with it (now how cute is that). Well she got into her bottle alright, but the clerk gave me the wrong
bottle. I got home opened it and summoned Jeannie to come out, but she didn't. So I peeked in the bottle and sure enough, I had Mrs. Bellows'
bottle. I had to get Jeannie's bottle back before Mrs. Bellows opened it. If she had, well, I won't go there. I called Dr. Bellows to tell him I
had the wrong bottle and he said I could get "mine" back the next day. So what did I do? I took Roger with me and we "broke" into the Bellows' house
to get it. Well all was going well until the Bellows' decided to come home early from their get together. I knew I was toast. But I was lucky.
I faked like I was sleeping and Dr. Bellows took that for sleep walking. He had to explain it like I was so set on that bottle that I wondered over
there in my sleep. Now how is that for an explanation? But I wasn't going to argue. I got back what was important me and I didn't get in trouble.
What a mess it would have been if Mrs. Bellows had opened her bottle.
Entry #20
I nearly made the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. Jeannie started acting strange the other day. She started doing all kind of nice
things for me, not that she didn't always anyway. It was the way she was acting. I couldn't get a word in edge wise. I would try to talk to her
and she would pop in another surprise. I really got suspicious when she "gave" me permission to out with another woman, a beauty queen. I knew
something was wrong. That wasn't my Jeannie at all. She finally fessed up. She told me it was Haji's day (the birthday of the head of all the
genies). That means that any master who is dissatisfied with their genie can send them away. I thought about it a lot and even though she was a
joy to have around, I thought it would be best to send her away (what was I thinking-was I nuts?). It's not that I wanted to. I was thinking it
would be better if she weren't around anymore (that's what I get for thinking). She did everything to try and get me to change my mind, but I
wouldn't. It would be best for her and me if she were gone (yeah right).
She was to be gone for good at midnight the same night I was to take that beauty queen out along with Roger and the other beauty queen. I went out
with them, but I could not think of nothing but Jeannie. I tried, but it was no good. I was about to let the most important thing in my life go
and for good. I kept checking what time it was because I knew at midnight, my Jeannie would be gone. I couldn't take it. I had to stop her, but
this time when I asked Roger what time it was, it was after midnight. My heart sank. She was gone. My Jeannie was gone. I had to run home anyway.
Maybe by some chance she would still be there.
Well, technically she wasn't. I called out to her and I "called" out to Haji and told him I changed my mind. I would even fight for her and low
and behold, Jeannie shows up. Turns out she had set time ahead in case I changed my mind. Whew! What a relief. But then I had to do something
stupid (I can't believe I did this). I was going to put Jeannie back in her bottle and go back to Roger and the girls, but she outsmarted me. She
blinked me in her bottle and put my pajamas in there and told me I would stay in there for a while. I was upset, but I had that coming. Here I
was about to lose the best thing that ever happened to me and when I had her securely back, I was going to go back to that date? I must have been
crazy!!

I had to apologize to Jeannie for even trying to go back to my date after I came back to try and keep her before it was too late. That was so
senseless of me. I also had to apologize for even thinking of sending her away. I decided to take her out for an evening after I got home and
boy was she excited. I came home and she was already dressed. You could have knocked me over. She was so beautiful I couldn't even speak or
breathe. I finally came back to myself and just told her how beautiful she was and she just ducked that shy little head of hers and said thank
you. We went to a show and then we had some dinner at our favorite place and then we went dancing. I could've danced all night. I would look
at her and I would lose my breath all over again. Why is that? I then took her for a walk in the park and we just talked for a while and I
apologized again for the events on Haji's day.
That was the best night I had had in a long time. We came in the house and before she went to her bottle for the night, I couldn't help myself.
I had to kiss her goodnight. That kiss seemed like the most wonderful thing and the strange thing is, I wanted to kiss her again. Why? She
was a genie. But then again, that didn't seem to matter for that one moment. She said goodnight and smoked off to her bottle and I went on to
bed. I laid there thinking, I'm never letting her go.
Entry #22
Jeannie and I both have been on a bit of a roller coaster. I found out the other day that if Jeannie married a mortal, she would lose all her
powers. I had an idea. If I married Jeannie, she would lose her powers. I know that was part of who she was, but I didn't want to lose her,
but maybe her not having her powers, I wouldn't get into so much trouble. Roger decides to stick his nose in it and we looked into the future.
We discovered that Jeannie and I had two kids and our son was a mortal like me and our daughter was a genie like Jeannie. I decided then that I couldn't do it. I could not marry Jeannie and besides, my motives were very wrong. I was trying to change her and that wasn't right at all. I have accepted her the way she is up to now and marrying her for those reasons would have been wrong. I have to say that in the midst of all this, I was, well, I was happy at the thought of marrying her. I mean I know the reasons I gave (her losing her powers) for marrying her weren't the right ones, but I think I genuinely wanted to marry her. As I look back at the time I have had with her from the day I rescued her from her bottle up to now, I just have these feelings. When I have almost lost her, I would have this sinking feeling in my stomach and would feel such relief when I would have her back. When I almost lost her to that Millionaire guy (even though he turned out to be fake), I thought I would croak. I knew I had to be stupid to even think of sending her back on Haji's day. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I don't think I can even imagine my life without her. I-I-I, ok, I can't stand it anymore. I have to say it. I believe that I am in love Jeannie. When I kissed her the other night, I was lost in a whole other world. We have such a wonderful time together. Even though she doesn't understand I can't let her do the things she does sometimes, I know she means well. She, Roger, and I all know that she's in love with me. She has the sweetest spirit of anyone I have ever known. Now that I look back to the time when Melissa and I split up, I know now why I was feeling the way I did about Melissa and I getting married. Besides the fact that she and I had grown apart, I believe I was already falling in love with Jeannie. I feel so much better now that I have come out with it. I love her. I love Jeannie. I love everything about her. I love the way she talks. I love the way she laughs. I love the sweet spirit she has. I love the way looks at me with those eyes. I love her. I really love Jeannie. But what can I do about it? I just, I don't know. I'm in love with Jeannie and I don't know what to do about it.
