Egg On My Face

Wow...today was quite the day! I got egg on my face in a huge way.
I know, I know, you are thinking...okay, what did you do now, Susie?
Well, I totally embarrassed myself, that's what.
It all started with a trip to the city with a very good friend. After randomly finding out that we share the same neurologist and that she had an appointment today, I proposed going with her and making a day of it. I know from experience, going to a specialist is nerve-wracking and stressful.
So, we went for lunch, skipped through the mall and talked and laughed the whole time.
Here's where it gets a little sticky.
On our way home, we went through a drive-through to grab a quick coffee and snack due to a dropping blood sugar and energy level on my part. (That's what happens when you have the Betes and shop hard core for hours. It's like the best exercise in the world! ;)
Anyway, I dropped my friend off at her house, went to the post office, ran a couple of errands, said hi to a few people I knew and then went home.
No prob, right?
Sure, unless we get back to that whole "egg on my face" part.
In that beloved drive-through I had ordered and then proceeded to eat an egg-salad snack wrap.
I happened to catch a glimpse of myself in one of the mirrors in my house an hour later as I walked by. Now, I am not one to purposely look at myself every chance I get, but something caught my eye this time. (This may be a good opportunity to remind you that due to diabetic retinopathy, my eyes are not so great. So when I say something like "caught my eye", it takes a lot in a glance.)
Yes.
There it was.
Egg on my face.
A big smear of it.
Of course I did.
Cuz that's my life wrapped up in an egg...nope! nut shell. {groan, I know}
As for the saying...I totally get it now.
