So if you thought what I thought...

then guess what:  We're wrong. So I'm not getting those ferrets... after my work friend told me that her friend said I could have them her friend turned right around and gave them to someone else. My work friend seemed more upset than I was... I mean - initially I was bummed out, but I didn't lose sleep over it or anything. I've got enough creatures that I love (and that love me right back) so it's no big deal, really. I pretty much welcome any creature that needs a home (that I can reasonably take care of) with open arms, but I'm not hell bent on having a ferret right now... I was just excited at the thought that I was getting two for free. (I love them, but those things are expensive, you know.)

So yeah - I think I've thought of something I'd rather do (if ferrets do not fall into my lap before then.) I found a ferret shelter in Georgia and I wouldn't mind helping out a ferret or two. The adoption fees you end up paying go toward taking care of the ferrets that are not adopted yet and I like the idea of that. Of course since I'm broke-ass this endeavor must wait until sometime (hopefully in the beginning) of the coming year. That'll give me something to look forward to (and motivation to not run up more debt lest I can't afford to adopt anyone.)

Also (this is completely un-related) I need to tell you about this:  (^_^) ← You see that? Anyone who checks Shadow's page regularly knows that I don't let him on the Internet much... he's usually got homework to do or is grounded for whatever reason. But anyway he brought home a paper that he'd made a 100 on and instead of "☺" he has "(^_^)" drawn on his paper. ?!?!?! Alrighty then. So begins the myspace-ization of Saks Elementary. That did not take long. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. 👀😂
