Dress Code Violation

So I was subbing at a local high school this past Friday.  At one point they had a girl come into the office because her teacher sent her.  She claimed to have no idea why. When the secretary looked at her shirt it had a picture of some pop star who had her belly showing.   They made her come and wear a loaner shirt.  When the other secretary saw her shorts she declared them "too short" even though she had leggings on under them.   I agree that they were too short, but here's my beef.

The rule is that they shorts must come down to the bottom of your finger tips when your hands are at your side.  Since it was a friday and there was a game that night all the cheerleaders and football players had their uniforms on.  The cheerleaders uniforms were in obvious violation of the dress code!  I was dumbfounded.  They made one girl change her clothes even though she had no skin exposed yet there were cheerleaders prancing all over campus with their booties practically hanging out.   Talk about a double standard!

My silly dog

So I put a bowl of water down for my dogs and there was a price tag on the bottom of the bowl.  My dog, Grover, decided to "get" the price tag.  He tried to dig in the water and then just stuck his face in the bowl trying to bite it.  Silly dog.  I'm trying to post a video we'll see how it goes.

New York PIzza Kitchen


www.nypkfairfield.com

This place is great.  Great pizza.  Great service.  Great deals.  We order pizza quite often and we have found a diamond in the rough.  We get an extra large pepperoni for about 20 bucks and it's more than enough to feed the 5 of us.  Sometimes we get the spaghetti which comes with the best salad in the world!  If you are looking for a great deal then show up on Monday or Tuesday and they have all you can eat pizza slices, salad and soda for $9.99 a person.  They also have other great deals you can check out at the web site.  Yummy!

You Are What You Eat

Have you seen this show?  It takes ordinary people and shows them all at once what they have eaten in the past week.  It is usually pretty gross.  Then they help them to make better food choices and follow up with them to see how much more healthy they are after the show.  It comes on about 4 times a day on BBCA.   Channel 264 on DirecTv.

BINGO

I spent my holiday sleeping in until 8am (woo whoo) and then going to El Sobrante to the Boys and Girls club to play a marathon of bingo.  My grandmother has been volunteering her Mondays to the boys club for as long as I can remember.  Since I turned 18 (we won't mention how many years ago) I've been there to visit and play a few times.  It's always fun and sometimes I've even won!  

Yesterday I didn't win.  Well, I didn't win any money.  What I did win was a full 8 hours of nobody asking me if this is ok or is that ok or can i do this or can i do that or can i have this or can i have that mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy...

What I had was people coming up to me saying "Oh, you're Shirley's granddaughter! How nice to meet you."   They also asked me if I wanted anything!  They brought my BBQ ribs to me at my table.  It was nice and refreshing to be taken care of instead of taking care of everyone else.
