Two dozen colored eggs-deviled eggs-scrambled eggs-sunny side up eggs-hard boiled eggs-eggs-eggs-eggs-eggs-eggs-expect chocolate eggs-later and I was seriously nauseous. An excellent sense of smell is a blessing for the Hygiene Hunter. During Easter, however, the smell of eggs gets the better of me. Why prepare eggs then? Tradition will not allow me to use tofu as a substitute.
Three verifiable things about me. One. I am an only child. The concept of sharing, therefore, is foreign to me. Two. I am a Virgo. The sign regarded as a perfectionist. Three. My mother raised me to be meticulously clean; compulsively tidy. According to my mother, "You have taken this clean thing way too far." I disagree. Apologies to my mother.
Nature or nurture? Who knows? Who cares? I have not been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Nor would I label myself a Cleanaholic. Or a Germaphobe. My world though, is definitely a unique place. One where doors open magically. Hotel mattresses are pristine. And estheticians never double dip.
I live in this world without a bubble or a honeycomb mask. About 15 years ago I got tired of catching the flu du jour and became ever more so hygienically vigilant -- perhaps obsessively so.
Remember: the harder boiled the egg, the cleaner the egg fight!!!
