Weekend!

Saturday Fun Day

Yay, Weekend is here. We walked up and watched the end of the town parade, just in time to walk along with the marching band from the high school I was at last year. They are very good! I love drum-corps music. We also ran into a student from my class, roller blading along, and said hello!

Then we walked to a Starbucks and hung out on our computers with some iced drinks. The wildfire smoke has all cleared from this area and we had blue skies and very warm weather today. But now it's windy and raining for the first time in many weeks. I read school emails on my school loaned laptop and finally figured out how to add a profile picture. I also found the school handbook and read through that and some other official staff information. What I couldn't find were some google docs that the teacher supposedly sent to our classroom staff. I'm going to have to ask for help with that and some other Chromebook questions I have.

There is something bugging me a bit. Supposedly we have a general dress code which says no crop tops and no short shorts. But all week I have seen several short shorts and even one cheeks out pair.  

                                                          
                                                     Like seriously. Like this gal in the photo.

I saw our VP so I decided to ask her about the policy and she confirmed there was a policy, but said it was a case by case basis on how it is enforced and was really up to their classroom teachers to discuss the subject with the student. She said they usually suggest that the kid try to make 'better choices'. I hope they do...because unless you want people to look at your bum, you should not wear tight pants or short shorts. It's just simple physiological pseudo psycho-science. Funnily enough, I haven't noticed any super short skirts. So I guess those just aren't in style anymore.

After Starbucks, we went to the store and got some coffee filters, new video game T-shirts (bogo!), a pour over coffee filter holder, and vacuum cleaner bags (on clearance, which is cool, but I think they're discontinuing them because most people have canister vacuums now. But I still use the one I got from my mom which takes Hoover Type A bags. TMI. Sorry. Then we went to lunch at Potbelly Sandwiches where I have never been and got a delicious turkey bacon sub and some soup. And three Giant pickles for only one dollar each. Did I forget to mention the claw game?

                                       They probably weren't these (from Pickles Deli in Clinton, WA) but they look similar!

You know those claw games in the lobby of any store? There was one with so few prizes left that Steve determined that it must be one of the rare ones where you can actually win. And he did! He won me a Betty Boop doll on the second try. Which I gave away to the gal working in the Halloween City store because she was so nice and said her grandma loves Betty Boop so much. Peace!
