BUG-A-MUG

I just love it when I run into someone I haven't seen in YEARS (seriously like 10 years).  You chit chat for a bit, get caught up with life and everyone's families, etc & so on.
Then...... THE question is asked. 
Conversation goes as follows:
"Are YOU married?" 
"No, I am not"  
My arm is then rubbed, her head tilts to one side and then the words are spoken:
"Oh, that's ok, I promise you one day it will happen"

Wait...
SAY WHAT?!
K, I don't mind if you ask if I am married or not.  
But please, for the love,  
DON'T PITY ME!
It makes me sound like I am a spinster.

Now, what I wanted to say in reply was: 

"No worries.....
Luckily
 I have my men..

and my
(disclaimer: NOT my cats! Picture found here)
that keep me pretty busy"
But, I refrained and said:
"Well, it was nice chatting with you" 
Because I am a dignified spinster lady, like that.
Srsly.

Oh and by the by... lady that is STILL wearing the 
'banana clip'
The 90's called they want their hair back.

Hmmmm... so much for dignified.

It will never end either, cause once you're married, then the question becomes, "so do you have kids yet?" And then after one kid, it's "so when are you going to have another?" and then it's another, and so on and so on. Welcome to life in Utah I've learned!! (tee hee) Apparently there's nothing else to do in life except get married and have babies!!! :) Luv ya Tina...you seriously make me laugh outloud!!
