“March of Time” by Tammy Green

Submitted to Contest #241

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, 1987 Dear Diary, I stepped off the plane in my light wash jeans, white cotton peasant blouse, matching Levi jacket, and a pair of Cherokee wedges. I was just 21 and was wearing what I thought was the height of fashion. I had left Seattle on a typically cold, wet March morning, having no idea of the weather difference this far south.

Submitted to Contest #239

I woke up this morning to the alarm clock blaring “This is How We Roll” by Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan. It's not my favorite choice, but it works. I prefer Rod Stewart’s “Maggie May” or Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams,” but they don’t work so well to motivate us out of bed in the morning. I stretched in a few Cat-Cows, jumped off the bed, and strolled down the hall to the bathroom. My next stop was the kitchen to make s...
