"EGG"actly!




So what do you want for breakfast Nada?

EEMO (elmo)

What?

DAHHG (dog)

Como?

MAH MAL (oatmeal)

Well I want eggs.

AAAAYE (eggs)

Right.

So being the fabulous nanny slash retired home ec teacher that I am, I throw her instant oatmeal in the microwave while prepping for my Sunday scrabbled eggs. As I'm cracking open the brown egg, one handed by the way, out poured 2 yellow yokes into the pan! What the? I was completely fasinated and taken back! Instantly I thought what does this mean? Throughout all my years of egg education I have never witnessed such a spectacle! The dozens of chocolate chip cookie doughs, cake batters, rocky shakes, omelets, easter eggs, even a whole unit in my foods curriculum but none of which have prepared me for this event! Not even the one time I egged Aimee Giles house in jr high with Cammie Peacock! I would have made such a better 9th grade vice president by the way.

Meanwhile, I'm devouring my cheesy scrambled eggs in a mini whole wheat pita (I'm hooked on those things) all the while googling "double egg yolk symbolism". My extensive research concluded the following:
- regarded as a symbol of renewal, life, fertility
- frequency in nature is about 1 in 1000
- norse mythology death in the family
- forsees good things to come, romantically or financially
- in Europe, the egg is used to tell fortunes.....impending marriage
- Jewish beliefs, childless woman surely bear children

So being the supersticious gal that I am; never stepping on the lines on a baseball field, holding my breath while passing a cemetary, touching a screw while going over the railroad tracks, picking up head pennies only, never whistling at night, and steering clear of black cats and broken mirrors; I took this sign to heart! I mean I have "lucky" shirts, socks, shoes, underwear, chants, rituals and routines! In fact I'm quite certain the Jazz got knocked out of the playoffs last year because my mom washed the magic out of my D-Will shirt!

So keeping all theories in mind and hoping for the best with my double yolk fortune, I got prepared for the best and worst scenarios. As I had to work today, or lay in bed and watch Elmo/Nada, it was the perfect opportunity to act upon each of the scenarios.

-Death....uh okay, so I wrote in my journal about each of the people I love, or will declare my love to, made various lists of things to do and accomplish, called and text various people who made the list.
-Renewal, life....cleaned out my phonebook and got rid of the people (guys) that waste my time, started the diet again, exercised, wiped my slate clean!
-Romantically....yes! Am very excited about my current new found interest and decided to pursue it, replied back to his text, we'll see what happens! haha
-Financially...stayed away from online shopping today, I'm going to save my money....for those shoes! haha
-Impending marriage....okay so the greatest complication with this issue for me is not necessarily being able to find the right guy as it is being able to find the right dress! I have yet to see or find a dress that has caught my eye and made me want to wear my least favorite color white....until today! That's right I scoured wedding dresses online and have narrowed downmy dress selection to a category! Mermaid style or better yet Fit and Flare....I know what you're thinking but just wait you'll see!
-Fertility/Bear children....uh well I did step on the scale today for the first time this year and have concluded that there is definately enough weight for two! I also ate a few jolly ranchers and ju ju hearts just enough to help spread my hips a little wider for future future future childbirth.

All and all today was definately an indelible (word of the day) moment that made me once again realize and re-evaluate what I "egg"actly want to devour in life.
