And in comes November

Tonight it will be time to change our clocks back, which always messes with my internal time piece. But, since I can’t stop the months from flying by, and I do love the colors of fall and the other seasonal things that are associated with this month, I’d like to say welcome to Fall.

Isn’t it funny how the actual day to change the clocks back and forward seem to change each year? I never know if the time change will be the middle of October or the first week of November! All I know for sure is that when they do “fall back,” it gets dark before I leave work. I don’t like driving home in the dark. It makes me feel cheated of that little bit of daylight each afternoon.

A perfect hard boiled egg

After trying dozens upon dozens of tips on how to make the perfect hard boiled egg, I decided to wing it and try to make the perfect egg without using these tips. I didn’t want a green outside for the yolk and I didn’t want my eggs whites, to turn out like rubber. Below is what I did and the results were perfect for me.

Put one dozen eggs into a large pan big enough to hold them without crowding. Cover with water, an inch or so over the eggs. Put on burner at high heat, until it comes to a rolling hard boil. Boil for one half of a minute.

Take pan off heat source and cover. Leave it alone for 9 minutes. Drain and stick in the sink filled with cold water and ice cubes. I waited until the ice cubes melted to take my eggs out. One tip is, to use old eggs. I bought eggs especially for cooking hard boiled and let them sit in the refrigerator for two weeks. Took them out and got them to room temperature before I put them in the water. My eggs peeled perfectly, and were a nice yellow color with no grey or green tint to them! I’m not saying everyone’s will turn out like mine. I think it’s trial and error…like to each their own in the cooking department when it comes to hard boiling eggs. That is at least my opinion.

Picking out paint colors

Thinking I knew exactly the color I wanted to paint my bathroom and having all of it planned out, was a mistake. I have changed my mind twice in one month. This for me is a hard decision to make, as when I paint, I change EVERYTHING. From towel, face cloth, hand towel color. Shower curtain color and patterns, liner color, liner and shower hook color, and the rugs and tank and seat cover for the toilet.

I buy new tooth brush holders, and also even match the Dixie cups to my theme. SO, I have to make sure I know EXACTLY what I want. I’m not really OCD about it, but I figure if I’m changing something that will last a few years, I want to do it right. Besides, usually after that amount of time, the towels get worn, and of course the rugs and other accessories to. It also is time for a change.

Once again I am undecided, but at least I have the flooring sorta picked out. 😉
