T-Dinner is good for you!

Finally, Thanksgiving dinner is upon us...here is a link to a page which somehow finds a way to make Thankgiving dinner, including the pie, healthy. http://health.yahoo.com/experts/joybauernutrition/4761/hidden-nutrition-gems-in-your-thanksgiving-feast Yes! I'm printing this out for all the health nuts who don't eat T-dinner or even talk about how unhealthy it is. True, it's a bunch of crap, but who cares....it's f-ing Thanksgiving! Be sure to read the angry comments that follow at the bottom of the page...they make me laugh out loud...and "laughing's my favorite" (name the movie this quote is from and the actor who says it and you will be added to my best friend list--does not include a Christmas present but, instead, a special place in my comedic heart)

The school I work at just passed some sort of school law (for those of you in schools, you know that they think they can make their own laws), that kids can no longer bring "unhealthy snacks" to share with others at school. This means, if some kid's Martha Stewart mother bakes them cupcakes to share with the other students on their b-day, they are not allowed to have them. In fact, when the child arrives with the cupcakes, smile on face, proud of mom and the sharing that is about to make them the classroom favorite, the teacher of the class has been instructed to remove the cupcakes and take them to the front office. Here the cupcakes shall sit until the end of the school day when the birthday boy or girl must pick up their cupcakes and return home with them. What! Way to go Orange County schools...you've succesfully made every kid in America, especially those who get no birthday cake at home, hate you and the schools you run even more! No wonder kids are toting guns to school...they can't even eat a freakin' cupcake!
