Bye Bye Shaun, Thanks for the Memories

Well, the Seahawks finally did it, they released Shaun Alexander today. I'm very happy with the move and ultimately it was the right thing to do. Shaun is a really great guy, but also very polarizing. It just seems like in football you need a bit of a 'tude and he was just well, too nice! Anyway, his spot in the Ring of Honor is all but guaranteed and I'll certainly cheer for him if/when he ever comes back to Qwest but this is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league and quite frankly he hadn't been doing much. I just wanted to say farewell to #37 and wish him the best of luck, I'm sure he'll end up somewhere.
In other news, nothing yet on the job front. Again, my days are filled with many phone conversations, follow up emails/calls and at least 2-3 emails a day from recruiters and other companies I've applied to. I know I've said it before, but it's going to only be a matter of time and something is going to happen. I have about 3 job opportunities that I'm interested in and I'm sure a formal interview will be in my future soon but the clock is ticking, it's like an episode of 24 minus the heinous terrorist plot.

So we had all three Pugs over last Saturday with Jenny and Police "Chase". We had a lot of fun and on Sunday we made McAwesomes - has anyone made those yet? The dogs had a lot of fun and it was funny to watch: Moose was humping Chloe and Coop would try to hump Moose so it was like a strange Pug threeway. Anyway, I didn't give it a second thought, I thought it was just Pugs being Pugs but then I found this picture of Cooper! I guess I'll have to keep an eye on him when he's on the internet, you have to wonder about your kids these days:)


That's it, I'm out! Oh we will be coming over to B-town this weekend so Laura if you are reading this, let me know what time Shane's game is.

Hi Johnny, Aunty Sharon here...just wanted you to know that I tried your McAwesomes, I really liked them but the veleeta cheese was alittle soft for me next time I'll use cheddar but anyway they sure tasted good.
