chocolate covered strawberries

[threeplusfire]

Driving home from my morning errands, I was tempted to stop and eat lunch at Luby's. However there were at least two ambulances, police and the fire department in the parking lot. Too much excitement for 11:30am. So I came home, ate a couple chocolate strawberries from Amy's and finished my reading assignment. I'm reading and evaluating short stories for a writing contest. It's pretty fun. I worked out the amount I'm being paid versus the time I spent on the stories and it comes out to nearly $30 per hour. Too bad it is just a few hours.

Currently I'm re-reading Poison by Kathryn Harrison. Her writing is lush without being baroque, and I enjoy it. I also picked up a couple books this morning so I'll have something to read on the plane on Friday.
