A painfully detailed account of my day.

Since someone complained that I had nothing to talk about yesterday. I will go into excruciating detail about today.

I got up and went through my email. I ate breakfast, a bowl of Barbara’s shredded oat squares with 2% milk. Then I returned to the computer.

I worked on the Irvington Home Tour program book today. I got dressed. Then I continued working on the Home Tour program book. I ate a leftover slice of focaccia bread and a banana for lunch. After that, I worked on the Home Tour program book some more. Finally, I ventured out of the house around 2:30. This entailed a trip to Kinko’s to print things out on the laser printer, always a delight. Kinko’s has a blue and white sign on the outside of the building with the word “Kinko’s” written on it. The interior of the building is lit with florescent lights and contains copier, computers and people. I sat there for an hour, made 12 prints and 20 photocopies. Then I left.

When I got home, I found two pieces of junkmail (Comcast and The Business Journal) as well as a phone bill.

I also won the Liberty Hall Flash Fiction Contest, by one vote. If you would like to read the piece I wrote I’ll send it to you.

I will now return to the Irvington Home Tour program book and place advertisements in the appropriate spaces.

    Wow Dad, I guess you were really curious. The Liberty Hall Fiction contest is a contest amoung a group of writer friends. So I won “Best Flash” out of twenty other entries. I beat the other story by one vote. All it gets me is the chance to torture my fellow writers by coming up with a difficult trigger for next time. The trigger is a word, phrase or photo on which the contestants then base their story.

    someone happened to be me. I must have accidentally selected Anonymous after previously choosing Other and entering my name.

    Mary, thanks for participating in the Flash Challenge. Not only did we enjoy your story, but your comments and critiques of others stories (especially # 5) were excellent. We look forward to your continued participation.
