Memories of Celebration

Submitted to Contest #36

March 15, 2008It’s her second birthday. Although, technically it’s the third, if we count the day she was born. But anyway, we’ll say second. To celebrate, her parents drive her over to the park next to the lake that she loves. There, she gets some small rocks, and one by one, throws them into the lake.

Me Time

Submitted to Contest #22

Reading my favorite book for probably the twentieth time, stopping once in a while to think about it while also taking a sip of my huge cup of hot chocolate. Just the way I want to spend the night of my 28th birthday. Fun fact: Tonight also just happens to be New Year’s Eve. What a great birthday to have, I guess. The only problem is that it can get kind of loud, with all the parties and fireworks and stuff. And if there is one thing people know about me, it is that I absolutely adore and need my alone and quiet time. That is why on my birt...
