TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): That Time I Almost Died after Watching The Bachelorette
I know a lot of stories start with the old, “it was just your average day,” but believe me when I say this really was just an average day. I did exactly what I would do every other weekday: got up, went to work, counted the minutes until lunch, planned all the productive things I… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): The 40 Penises of Freshman Year
Today we are throwing it back in a few different ways to a few different places. Throwback Thursday Stories is a segment I used to do on my blog which, as the name suggests, included a “throwback” story that I posted on Thursdays. (We like to keep it literal over here.) On top of that,… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): Flu Season
In honor of the impending flu season, today I bring you an unpublished blog I wrote a couple years ago when I had fallen victim to its clutches. I had spent days on the couch and was going a little insane and wanted to make myself laugh. I hope you can all escape the snot… Continue reading

The Maine Shaped Splotch
My brother was a bit of a surprise, at least to me. I had just turned 7 when I found out he was coming. We were at a restaurant by my aunt’s house celebrating a birthday, when I excused myself from a conversation about Mario Party to ask my mom for a quarter to get… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): The Bird.
It was a nice day in the park; sunny, with big fluffy clouds, the slightest hint of a breeze. My sister’s beg for bread to feed the birds was persistent, so when my dad tossed over the loaf of Orowheat, she took off towards the geese babbling behind a gate. She tore off piece after… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): Zoom!

We’d watch Animaniacs, Captain Planet and Scooby Doo, and then we’d switch it to PBS and watch Wishbone and… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): The Superhero Who Inspired Me to Write.
I’m sitting at the kitchen table swiveling my butt in the desk chair I dragged out of my brother’s room. My tongue is a delicious shade of grape Popsicle and the sweat has just begun to pool up at my hairline again. Another 100 degree day in July. I’ve been looking up job opportunities online… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): The Cabin
I’ve never really been a fan of drinking games. I could say that it’s because I don’t like getting too drunk, too fast, or that I don’t like turning drinking into a punishment—due to losing a game—rather than a leisurely activity. I could say both of those things, they are both true, but I think… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): The Terrorist
This is a story about a terrorist. Rather, a suspected terrorist. Let’s start from the beginning. My family and I were in Wyoming for a national softball tournament my sister was participating in. We had driven our Honda Odyssey all the way to beautiful Cheyenne, but not before making a few key stops: The Bottle… Continue reading

TBTS (Throwback Thursday Stories): Vegas
Vegas. An infamous Nevadan city that does not need any sort of introduction. If you haven’t been there, you’ve heard of it; if you haven’t heard of it….how? First off, the term “Vegas” can be used in a multitude of ways. Examples: Proper Noun- Let’s go to Vegas. Adjective- That is so Vegas. Almost verb-… Continue reading
