Gulpin' Away The Cash

So today, I went to go put gas in my car, and ended up locking my keys in my car. I tried the 'ol clothes hanger trick, failed. Then a random drunk man attempted to help me out. He even ran over to the police station next door to see if they'd help. No luck. So we went inside, he bought a 40 oz, and I called a million places for quotes. One guy told me $65, and after I told him that I found a place that would do it for $35, he said he'd do it for $32.50. Really? You just cut your price in half? Sure!

So...I ended up spending 2 hours at this gas station waiting for the locksmith man. And I couldn't help but notice that everyone that came in got fountain soda. I didn't realize it was that popular. Then I started to think about all of the money that that could add up to. If you came in every day and got yourself a big gulp at $1.29 a cup, multiply that by 5 working days a week, 52 weeks a year, and you're spending $335.40 a year! That's more than I pay for rent. Crazy huh? And think of the calories, sugar, and aspertame that go with that... :

Surprise!

So recently my bangs have gotten completely out of control. You know, when they're so long that they're not tuckable behind the ear, but still in your face. It's even worse when you have glasses because then you get these little winging things off of the frame. Totally unattractive. So I decided to go see my hairstylist Tyler. Who is amazing. And straight (I know you were wondering).

So I go, and he sees me gets excited cause I haven't been in in 3 months, gives me a hug, and brings me over to the sink. So we're washing and talking, I get the fabulous neck massage (the reason I tip him so well), and he asks what I want to do. So I point out the most apparent hair faux pas happening toward the frontal region of my head, he stares, and then I say, "Well I don't really care, just not too short." Then he says "Ok.....can I have fun?" "Of course!" He's Tyler, the god of all hair art, him having fun, equals complete fabulousity on my head. So we're talking and next thing I know, he's in the zone. Can't hear a word I'm saying, and my hair continues to get shorter, and shorter....but at the same time more and more amazing. It was impressive. I was surprised at how short he took it, but let's be honest...I'm in love. With my hair...and maybe Tyler because of his ability to make me look so darn good.
