Boiled eggs and Facebook scariness

WM’s gone for a bit to visit his family for Mother’s Day so I am ruling the roost! And by that I mean cleaning out the fridge & tossing out socks with holes.

While cleaning out the fridge, I realized I bought an extra dozen eggs. I bought them to bake with, but I had eggs here anyway. “No problem,” I thought. “I’ll just boil a bunch and have them for snacks or perhaps a tasty egg salad!”

I loaded the eggs into a saucepan and blanked out. How do you boil eggs?

Could it be that I’ve never boiled an egg? My mind raced through my ever-lenghening history and no…I’ve never boiled an egg. While I’ve had boiled-egg-based foods, someone else did the boiling.

This revelation was obviously made for Facebook, so while the eggs were in the saucepan, I shared my stupidity with the world! (I’ve been blogging for years, I’m good at it.)

And immediately after posting, this appears in the Facebook sidebar:

You are one creepy genius, Zuckerberg.

    LOL – sounds almost as funny as my wife’s story about having to call her best friend’s mother to find out how to cook a hotdog. Oh, wait funnier – my wife was only 18…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
