Cool story...BREAD!

#17: My good friend Brian was talking about his very long ponytail of hair yesterday in the Ceramics lab and said something worth repeating. When you let your hair grow out, you save a ton of money each year from haircuts. I'd encourage that we all either let our hair grow or just use clippers at home to cut hair rather than spending $15 or more on a fancy cut.

#18: Today, I had to go to Dallas for thesis stuff. I realized I had not eaten anything (not smart) so I had to get some food. Rather than going to Jack In The Box or Subway, I decided to go into Albertson's and see what I could find there. They had really cheap chicken tenders at their deli and some fantastic bread rolls(25 cents!!)! After grabbing one of my new favorite drinks, Snapple in a can (only 79 cents), I ended up with a super duper cheap and incredibly delicious and filling lunch for under $5! Also, it was much healthier than any fast food I would have purchased. So...lesson: buy inexpensive foods from grocery stores rather than eating out. Another great place to find super cheap bread for those of us in love with carbs...Brookshires bakes french bread loaves every day for just $1.50. The loaf lasts a good week or longer. Super filling. Delicious. Just remember...don't eat too much bread...or you might become obese...
