I'm crazy for strawberries right now, and I'm being punished for making fun of how that one looked last week. Because as a result of my mocking, there is a major shortage of strawberries across the state. (No, it's not from the inclement weather.) Every time I go to Publix, they are sold out. (FL strawberries aren't as good as CA strawberries, but they will do until I can get back to Trader Joe's.) And since FL is full of old people with nothing to do but go to Publix, they sell out daily at every Publix in the tri-county area. One produce guy told me that they get them in at 9 and sell out by 2. Great, so I'll just miss work to get strawberries.
Obviously, the goal for this weekend was to get strawberries. After I went to check the waves, I stopped to grab some. Of course an old lady was freaking out about them, and I had to shove her Hov-Around out of the way to grab them (j/k). I told her how I can never get to the strawberries before they sell out. Looking at me curiously, she remarks, "Oh, you must work." I hate old people.
They were 3 cartons for $5! And everyone was freaking because they know the price will be going up, like tomorrow. So I bought a bunch and now i have to eat them all because they will go bad by tomorrow. So that's what I'm doing today. (My neck locked up yesterday from all the surfing, so I'm going to take it easy today.)
