You can definitely use a rewritable disc like you would use a thumbdrive. If you have Windows 7 you can simply insert the disc, and Windows will prompt you it you want to burn files to it, then it will give you an option to do what you're talking about.
Alternately, using something like Eric said is also an option, and a lot easier if you don't mind having your documents in the cloud. I use Google Drive, but you can use Dropbox as well. If all you're doing is storing documents, then you should be good with the amount of space you get for free accounts.
In both scenarios, you'll need to install the free client program on any computer that you're going to be syncing (uploading) from. It will allow you to specify a folder on that computer that, when a document is added to it or changed, the client program updates it on the server in the cloud. Then you can download that file from any other computer simply by logging into the site, and/or by installing the client program on that computer as well, and specifying the folder to sync to. In Dropbox's case, you would just go to Dropbox.com and log in, then you'll have access to your things. In the case of Google Drive, it's integrated into Google Chrome, so if you already use that it will make things pretty simple. In either case, if you have a synced folder on multiple computers, provided that the client is running on both ends, the files will sync all the way between folders without you needing to log in to the site, which is the major plus side of this kind of thing.
