**Update**
Congratulations to Stephanie Bradford for entering my silly contest and taking a few seconds to look up the price of eggs in July of 1969. For those of you, like me, who enjoy random tidbits of useless information, the average price of a dozen eggs wayyyyyyy back in 1969 was .62 cents.
July 29, 1969, yours truly was born…..there….I’m not ashamed….you do the math.
My mom told me this morning that ‘age is a state of mind, ya know’ to which I replied, ‘yes, but what about all this gray hair, saggy wrinkles and facial hair that I’ve got’?
I’ve earned every bit of it and yes, I’m learning to wear it all proudly….. and color it, shave it and cover it up when I can.
She also quoted Mae West by reminding me “I’ve got everything I’ve always had, it’s just 6 inches lower”.
So there…I suppose a better way to look at it. 
And with that, I’m posting a random contest.
The first person to tell me the average cost of a dozen eggs on July 29, 1969 will receive a $15 Starbucks gift card.
You must post your answer in the comments section below and I’ll post the winner later tonight!
