For the first time in a long time, the weather was absolutly perfect yesterday. Not to cold, not to hot, and not to sound like Goldilock's, but it was JUST RIGHT.Yesterday, Nick, Kennedy, Smoke and I went on an outing to his grandma and grandpa's house so they could go fishing on their pond in the backyard. It was just too beautiful outside to stay cooped up in the house (altough the race was on and I was interested in watching it.)
This is probably Smoke's 3rd or 4th car ride and she is behaving very well on them. I took the little pink kennel carrier that I had originally bought for my little poodle Pepper and used it to transport Smoke. It was too small for Pepper so I think it worked out well that Smoke turned out to be a girl because now I can use it for her. If my ferret turned out to be male, I probably would of still the pink kennel for him, but I would of felt like I was wacking a part of her manhood off. I kept her in my lap for most of the car ride and let her run around. The kennel was mostly for potty and food transport reason's. I know in my last entry I had predicted that it would take Kennedy a while to get the courage to hold Smoke by herself. Well, here it is day 2 of Kennedy being around Smoke and she is picking her up and bringing her to me with little hesitation and I have told her she can be the ferret's official babysitter. She is excited about it.
I conregated from inside the house talking to grandma to going outside to side pond side and watching my babies go fishing. Kennedy got very anxious to catch a fish and also got bored with waiting for the fish to bite on her hook. I was sitting next to her watching and taking a ton of photos. At one point she asked me if I could help her put a worm on her hook for her. I was too freaked out about killing a poor little worm and she was too grossed out to touch it. We are such typical females huh?
Grandpa bought us pizza for dinner which was absolutly delicious after having barely anything else to eat that day. I even gave a small piece to Smoke and she devoured it. She is already such a spoiled animal. I almost dread to see the day I have children of my own because they will be just as spoiled as my animals. Not to mention, Kennedy is heavily spoiled by me and she is not even my own child.
All in all, I'm so glad I did not decide to stay at home and do my normal computer surfing and geekiness that I normally do every weekend. When it comes down to it, spending time with my boyfriend, Kennedy and even his grandparents who are always so wonderful to me, is more important than all the hours and dedication I put into whatever web project I ever decide I "need" to work on. It's so easy to forget simple things like that but that's why I write things like this on a regular basis. I need to remind myself I'm luckier than I think. I get stressed out a lot very easily and often, it's so easy for me to forget that I do have people in my life that care and love me. This is my personal reminder.

We just got back from the Disney Princesses' on Ice Show and to not sound juvinile but...IT WAS AWESOME!!!
I am totally convinced that I would be the coolest mom because I act like such a kid myself sometimes. But since I obviously don't have any children, I took Kennedy. Sometimes she dosn't seem like just a kid to me, she's like my best friend because when we hang out, it is always fun.
Those weird men of that stand outside of every concert and event trying to sell the merchandise they make in their basement got me right as I walked in the door. I ended up breaking down and buying her an $8 princess crown, which I would normally not buy things from those weird people, but it was $15 inside the venus so I technically saved a buck.
Once inside, the tempations for children did not end. We were hungry and bought an $8 keepsake bottle of lemonade and a $6 box of popcorn. I felt like I was at the movie theatre spending my life savings to eat decently for the afternoon...minus the leather home theater seating of course. There were little girls all over the place dressed like their favorite Princess and some walked by me and I couldn't help but go "Aaaaawwww" out loud as they clonked by on their princess dress up shoes.
I absolutly loved the show. I am such Disney freak! My movie collection grows every week practically. I am however still recovering from the switch to VHS to DVD. The show featured Aladdin, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Snow White & Cinderella at the end. Then they all came ice skating in together at Cinderella's ball for the finale. Sadly enough, I knew almost all the songs that they were singing in the show.
Note To Self: Kennedy has not seen Aladdin, Snow White or Mulan. I've got some major catching up to do with this girl.
