Confessions
Are there things that everyone seems to know or understand, but you are clueless about?
Up until yesterday I though the saying was "for all intensive purposes" but its actually "for all intents and purposes." Oops.
I have also been putting bobby pins in my hair the wrong way forever.
What about you?

Re: Confessions
I cannot figure out plastic wrap. Every time I use it it ends up in a big plasticky ball of doom. H is in charge of the plastic wrap.
I have no idea how to wear blush or even what color to pick. I always had naturally rosy cheeks but it's fading as I get older and now I'm finding that I need some blush.
If you aren't one of those people, chances are:
Rice and eggs. I am pretty damn awesome in the kitchen and for some reason cooking rice or eggs is almost always a failure. It cracks FI up I will spend hours in the kitchen making homemade Chinese food only to have to make a second pot of rice because I screwed up the first.
Eggs always end up wrong. Scrambled eggs are undercooked in spots, poached or over easy wind up over cooked. I give up!
The correct way is with the bumpy side down, closest to your head. I guess it holds hair better that way.
ETA:
I know pretty much zero about makeup. I mean, I wear it (just foundation/mascara/eyeliner/sometimes eyeshadow) but I know fuck all about contouring, highlighting, what brushes to use when, etc....I pretty much just slap some stuff on and hope it looks okay. I've tried watching youtube videos and asking friends how they do it and I still can't get it.
This...can't do it... or ride a bike SMH I know it's shameful.
I also don't understand taxes on stock sales. H sold a bunch of stocks for the down payment on our house and has been trying to explain the tax law to me for the past few days and there is nothing about it that I understand.
But I was also using bobby pins wrong until about 2 months ago.
My failure thing is baking. I can COOK amazing meals but I literally can't bake a muffin or cupcake to save my life. I always follow the directions and it always burns on the bottom. In every different oven in every different home/apartment.
Also, I can cook a lot of things, and cook them well. Totally tooting my own horn. But I fuck up hard boiled eggs EVERY TIME. Biscuits, too.
