Just a Pawn in my Parents' Master Plan...

Have you ever had the feeling that there are future unknown events for which you are being surreptitiously groomed? I must admit that I have been feeling a little paranoid from some conversations that I have overheard between Mama and Daddy...conversations regarding future expectations and plans that they have for me. I haven't completely figured out what is going on, but I have a sneaking suspicion that my parents had me just so that they wouldn't have to do dishes later in life... It is like being a pawn in some chess game that you can't control; but they had better watch out because I have been studying and practicing my game when they aren't looking!

In other, more pleasant, news, Mama had the weekend off, so we had some fun activities, including a trip to the Stan Hywet (to play chess!) and a lake outing! I went on my first boating trip this afternoon, with my potential future husband, Zachary, aka "Butters." Mama and I soaked up some rays with Ms. Leslie and Mr. Marc, and we did a little swimming. Zac shared his toys with me and I only threw one overboard one time...luckily, Ms. Leslie is pretty good with the net!

We had an excellent time; I think I will join Mama now in trying to convince Daddy to get us a boat!
