When you are cooking something that takes a specific amount of time, such as hard-boiled eggs for example, you might want to glance at the clock before you get started. It's just a thought.
On an unrelated note (though I could probably relate it if I put a little effort into it), I got a call from the library yesterday. I went down to see what it was they were claiming to have on hold for me, and it turned out to be
Saving Fish from Drowning. This was completely unexpected. Granted, I put myself on the waiting list for it ages ago, but there were so many people ahead of me that I didn't think I'd see it any time inside of the year.
Instead, it's here right now! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The joy! You know, I don't believe I've ever used this particular expression before, but I'm going to use it now: "Score!"
