A rant on football

There’s a lot of football frenzy going on lately it seems. The Cardinals beat the Carolina Panthers last night which was a big win for us now that we’re in the playoffs, plus BCS, and the fiesta bowl last weekend here in town.  I was never into sports when I was younger.

I sat next to the college football quarterback of my school in ethnic studies class one semester and had absolutely no idea who he was until I saw him on the local news one day. I”m getting more into football the older I get. Could be the place I work, or because I live in Arizona now which is the only place I’ve lived that has their own professional team. (One for every major sport even!) What I still don’t understand is why they even call it football. The term “football” should be reserved to soccer, and a whole new name should be coined for it. Well, at least I think so.

Anyways, it’s just another Sunday around here. Doing the usual this weekend and just working. I took the last remaining puppy, Houdini, to the vet yesterday to get her the third set of vaccinations she needed. I think she has 2 more visits after this. All of her siblings were also there with their new owners for the low cost clinic so it was a little family reunion. Awww. I actually just contacted a rescue in town  that specifically places dogs with well-suited owners about putting her profile on their website. I can just keep her until she is placed and whatever money they make from her adoption can be kept by them. So in a way, it would be like making a donation to their cause. I think it’s a good idea. I’m still waiting on hearing back from them though, so hopefully they will agree. Houdini just turned 3 months old but she is already about 10 or 11 lbs, but she is very smart and almost housebroken as well.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
