My Life
Does the vague name make it sound more edgy?

Toothless, Topless Dreams
I don’t know what it is about me, but I have Weird. Ass. Dreams. We’re talking, “hey Kim you should really get this checked out by a trained professional, or have someone you trust watch to see if you unconsciously take acid after you fall asleep” type of dreams. But not to worry, a few… Continue reading

World’s Largest Roadside Attractions
In my July/August Favorites I made mention of loving the Netflix Original film The Fundamentals of Caring. In it a boy suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, who has made a list of America’s “worst” roadside attractions, gets the opportunity to take a road trip with his caretaker to see a few. Inspired by this list, I researched every… Continue reading

A Literally Sick Rap Song (feat. Tupac & Dr. Dre)
So I’ve been sick the last couple days and have been a riot for company. Honestly I don’t know how my sister has handled all of my sitting and snotting and groaning. WHAT FUN. That being said, in the moments when I’ve felt a little better, I made something possibly disgraceful and undoubtedly stupid in… Continue reading

I’m in Awe of You Too, Dads
If there’s one thing I noticed growing up with my Dad, it’s that anything, ANYTHING, can serve more than one purpose.

I’m Not Strong “For A Girl”
“Sign here please,” said the man behind the counter. I took the pen he offered with a nod and scribbled my sorry excuse of a signature on the paper in front of me. Then, sticking my keys in my back pocket, I thanked him and reached for the package I came to pick up. “Here,… Continue reading

“We have to go,” I say to my sister as I wait by the garage door. “Coming!” she shouts back from her room upstairs. It was a Thursday and, as always, we were running late to the bowling league we joined with our family. “Did you eat anything?” I ask as she comes down the… Continue reading

Good Day to be a Duck (How a Puddle Gave Me Perspective)
A few weeks ago I wore rain boots to work for the first time in my entire life. They were relatively new (in that I’d never worn them in the 2 years they’ve sat in my closet) so the fit was awkward and squeaky. When I opened the office door, I tried to tip toe—squeakless—towards… Continue reading

An Award for “Buzz Tap”
At the beginning of last year I submitted a short story I wrote to the 84th Annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition, and while I didn’t expecting much, I took pride in my courage to submit anything and didn’t think of it again until 6 months later when I received an email with the subject line:… Continue reading

My First Massage (Adventures at the Spa: Part 2)
There I was, face down on a table, left butt cheek out, thinking about high school… Wait, I should back up a bit. I walked into a dark room in nothing but a cloth robe and found Kendra, who flipped on some classical music. Woah. Wait, that took it a different direction. Let’s go to… Continue reading
