I'm always comfortable around them and their families, and if they are married, I'm friends with their spouse too. It's nice to have conversations that don't revolve around trying to "fix" me.<br /><br />Next time someone else at church asks me about my social life, I'm going to tell them that I just met a vivacious chicken.Markhttps://www.msu.edu/~bowmanm/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-68311443391730978912011-08-29T12:59:31.633-04:002011-08-29T12:59:31.633-04:00I feel the same kind of stuff at family gatherings...I feel the same kind of stuff at family gatherings about not having kids yet. I feel both totally ok about my life/choices and a little sensitive about it. Comments from folks have increased after age 30, and it is what it is. They mean well (I think...), and I have mixed feelings about it myself. More importantly, I seriously want to make cupcakes! I was noting on vacation that Scandinavia seems a bit behind on the cupcake trend. I did see a few dazzling chickens though. :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005975478277838971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-25320621541689680192011-08-28T22:48:27.021-04:002011-08-28T22:48:27.021-04:00"Cupcakes, Chickens, and Kids.

As of ...Well, I can sympathize with the sad faces. As of this next week, all in my family except me will be married, and its my little brother clinching the deal. Though they don't think badly of me, there is the inevitable feeling bad for my plight which shows on their faces. Naturally, as you said, looking at it through colored glasses is a factor, and enhances what we may see for real, but anyways. I can empathize. <br />Not with the chicken petting. I mean, come on, who pets chickens? Are they mans best friend? No. Who are they best friends with? nobody knows.... ;)SACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-24151053726108652792011-08-28T22:15:28.421-04:002011-08-28T22:15:28.421-04:00"Did I pet a chicken? You bet I did." H..."Did I pet a chicken? You bet I did." HA! Man, those chickens really were pretty amazing. So were the kids!!! And the cupcakes, well, no words can describe how delicious they were. OK, maybe the word "delicious" can describe them... It really was a lot of fun! And I'm with you, I love it when people look at me sadly. It's the best. Thankfully we have the Three C's to help us through! :DKatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421409632244031191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-35806346706275462772011-08-28T21:55:08.733-04:002011-08-28T21:55:08.733-04:00Holy cupcakes!
