Today I learned that Jerk Chicken has become a women - or at least laid her first egg. Great work! She is a French Copper Maran so she lays a pretty dark brown egg. This is my first experience with this breed and thus my first time seeing this color egg in real life. I feel like it should be full of chocolate but alas it is just yolk.
Today I also learned from Dan Savage about The Price of Admission. His words really rang true for me - that none of us are perfect but together we can be better.
"What's beautiful about a long term relationship is that you can be transformative. I pretend everyday that my boyfriend is the lie that I met, when I first met him. And he does the same favor to me. He pretends that I am that better person than I actually am. Even though he knows I'm not. Even though I know he's not.
We then are obligated to live up to the lies we told each other about who we are. We're forced to be better people than we actually are because it is expected of us by each other. And you can, in a long term relationship, really make your lie self become true. If you are smart and you demand it of them and are willing to give it."
