Suggestions from You

Since everyone is SO good at giving me and each other in this AWESOME group suggestions, I thought I'd throw another one out there for you. Then, I'll post the results in a week or 2 for everyone!

Two days of the week I have really long days at school-from about 11 AM to 10 PM. I have to bring lots of foods to snack on. I have a 1-2 hour break each day to eat a meal. I do have access to a microwave though I haven't really used it. I prefer to bring stuff from home because it's usually much healthier, easier and of course, cheaper.

What are your favorite "brown bag" things? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. What a great group this is!

Today, I am grateful that: I haven't gotten sick when many around me have, friends, family, comfy clothes :) and God.
