Adventures in Sitting Around the House!

Life. It’s pretty exciting stuff! Even when it’s so painfully boring that you have nothing to do but sleep in, sit around watching movies, and go out to drink beer (though you should be working out or writing a dissertation) exciting stuff can happen right where you live.

Today has been a day of total thrills. FIRST I was woken up by my window blowing open in the wind and a bunch of leaves blowing into my room. This is only notable because my window opens about 1/2 inch at the top, so the fact that leaves managed to squeeze in there is nothing short of remarkable. I suppose I was lucky it wasn’t a bird, since they sit outside my window and squawk 24/7.

NEXT an egg exploded like a little egg bomb! I was making hard-boiled eggs and one cracked as soon as I added the hot water. It still cooked fine, but when I went to cut the eggs up to make egg salad it exploded all over my kitchen as soon as the knife pierced the yolk. Crazy! Clearly that egg didn’t get eaten, and not just because most of it was scattered across the counter-top and wall.

So you see kids, excitement will find you right where you live! And when it does, expect to be showered in plant matter and bits of egg.
