TBT Writer - An OCD'S Worst Nightmare

It's #TBTWriter! Time to share some writing throwbacks and awkward pics. If you’ve got a writing throwback, post it with this hashtag so we can all read your story.

When I was ten, we were given a class assignment to write a creative story about our bedroom. Being the OCD neat freak that I was (and still am), I guess my little mind thought it would be a fun experiment to write about a completely disorderly room. I mean, look at the picture below! Not a scary porcelain doll out of place. Apparently, I thought run-on sentences would also be fun. :D Enjoy!

Is it just me, or does it look like a Disney princess threw up in here?

My Room Was Messy

I walked in my room. It looked like a tornado hit it. I saw crunched up papers, mud on the carpet, my encyclopedia missing a few pages, my socks I put in the laundry were on my bed torn up, my drawers were open with clothes thrown everywhere, my lunch box was torn in half, my sheets to my bed were hanging on my blinds, my homework assignment I put on my desk was no where in sight, my puzzle I did was missing a few pieces, my dirty clothes had bites on them, my pillow had mud paw prints on it. That could only mean one thing, "Millie." I found her outside with all of my stuffed animals circling around her and my homework assignment right beside her. I said I love you Millie, and I also think I saw her wink.  

Here's the culprit of this story - Millie.

 

There's not a single picture of me in the 90's without a funky bow in my hair. Will they make a comeback? 
I hope not!

Loki's Birthday

Guess who turned 1-year-old today? LOKI!!!

Can you believe he used to be this small?

And then briefly turned into an ewok?

And now he's so big I can barely hold him?

 Happy b-day, my mischievous pup.

TBT Writer - A Sparkling Dog Named Millie

It's Throw Back Thursday (TBT)! If you're a writer, I invite you to share something you wrote way back when and/or a pic of yourself. Whether you wrote a bad story, silly story, or something really promising when you were eight or thirty eight, share it. It's all part of the journey to becoming a better writer. It's also a really awesome feeling when you can look back and see how far you've come. Don't forget to use #tbtwriter when you post. If you're a reader looking for some laughs, you've come to the right place. So without further ado...

Growing up, my house was like something out of Dr. Doolittle. There were a zillion different animals running around, and yes, we had birthday parties for all of them.

Here's Elmer the iguana celebrating his birthday with a delectable fruit salad.

I especially loved our little duckies.

My brother and I feeding the ducks in our pajamas.

So when I got my first dog, Millie, I was beyond thrilled.

Meet Millie.

Millie was a part of every family event from the very beginning.

Have you ever seen a more enthusiastic dog watching someone open an Xmas present?

I guess it was inevitable that I wrote a story about her when I was in elementary school:

Millie

 

When I first got my dog I was very happy and I got to name her Millie. I took her to a park and saw her long ears fly and her beautiful skin sparkle.

Millie come back. Millie is my new dog. She is a Shaffordshire Bull Terrier. She has golden orange fur mixed with white. I like taking her for walks at the park. She's really fast. I love to watch her golden ears fly back when she runs. She is a very strong dog, fun, and lovable. I enjoy taking here wherever I go.

I've loved MANY animals since Millie, but since she was my first dog, she'll always have a special place in my heart.

Bertha the cat. I think I have more hair here than head. :P

My grandparents dog, Matty.

My brother, Bo, and I.

My puppy, Loki, and me.

I hope you enjoyed my writing throwback. I can't wait to post again next month.

Guaranteed to Brighten Your Day

I love animals, especially funny animals, so I present my favorite videos that have made me laugh so hard I cried. They are guaranteed to brighten your day! Enjoy :) Oh, and make sure that your speakers are on.

Extreme Cuteness

Yesterday, I took the plunge. I adopted a puppy! He's an 8 week old pug about the size of a guinea pig and he's so freakin adorable I can't stand it. No matter what he does, it's soooooooo incredibly cute. I'm a huge animal lover and can't get enough of all things cute, so today I thought I'd share some of my go-to sources to spread the cute.

But first, meet Loki - the new love of my life! He likes to sleep on my shoes and feet and is afraid of stairs. 

Now for more cuteness...I highly recommend checking out Cute Overload. I don't know how I found out about it years and years ago, but I have it bookmarked and visit it at least once a day. The pics and videos on this site will make your head explode! This site is guaranteed to cheer you up if you're having a bad day.  

I actually found out about my next source via Cute Overload. It's a blog called Cute Travels. It's run by a girl named Eimear who travels the world in search of cute things. We're talking cute places, cute recipes, cute animals, cute clothes, and more. It doesn't get better than that. :)
