I'm Thinking About Hiring a Wife

Yeah, I know I've already posted twice today - but the blog thing is still something of a novelty to me (that won't last, I'm sure) PLUS I really felt the urge to share this . . . lest any of you has doubts about how flaky I'm getting.

So . . . I decided yesterday that some tuna salad sounded really good and put some eggs on to boil.  Then I let the dogs out, started a load of laundry, and got busy doing various & sundry things.  Some time (quite a bit apparently) later, I heard a sound like something had fallen in the other room - but I assumed it was Belle pounding on the door to be let in and hollered that I'd be there in a minute.  Just seconds later, I heard another noise . . . and then I smelled it!  You guessed it . . . I not only burned those suckers - but 3 of them exploded all over my kitchen!!  It's amazing how gi-normous a mess 3 little eggs can make . . . although I must say that Riley & Belle quite enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they wasted no time eating all the parts that were on the floor - so I didn't have a chance to take pictures.

However . . . I did manage to get a picture of the ones I burned TODAY!  Yep, you heard me right . . . Little Susie Homemaker has burned up a dozen eggs in barely 24 hours!  At least they didn't explode all over the place today - when I heard that first pop, I knew EXACTLY what it was.  So, the dogs didn't get an extra treat like yesterday (if you count burned egg fragments as a treat) - but I don't have nearly as big a mess to clean up either.

Meanwhile, I still don't have what I need to make tuna salad.  In 10 days, I will have been married for 40 years . . . I've boiled quite a few eggs in that time without any problems whatsoever.  I guess I've lost that talent, though - I just hope the ability to boil water doesn't go next . . . maybe it's time to hire myself a wife!
