ehab, I hope to meet you when I'm out in the Bay Area at the end of the year. And part of my excitement about my trip is the chance to hit TJ's and bring home a bunch of nummy snacks.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Now tagless for your comfort.
TJ's is one of the things I miss most about Columbus.
The Denisof Family kills me ded.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh my, the kangaroo family are too adorable.
Very jealous of the TJ having peeps.

The thing about Trader Joe's is that it has stuff you just can't get elsewhere. Delicious stuff. Cheap stuff.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The Hannigan/Denisof family Halloween costumes
Oh my! As if I didn't already have the biggest crush in the world on that family. They are too cute!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The adorability reminds me a little of Eskimo Willow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The thing that freaks me out about TJs:
- Their food is really good.
- Their food is pretty cheap.
- Their workers are intelligent and cheerful, and they get decent benefit.
In conclusion, TJs is obviously a cult.

My favorite TJ's thing, that I can't bring home with me, is the frozen steel-cut oatmeal. Inexpensive and nummy. Wish it would survive the flight home. I loved it when K-Big worked there - had the inside news on good new treats.
Now she works at White House-Black Market. I guess I should be happy I don't fit their clothes cause they are pretty cute, but expensive.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My cashier at the brand new TJs, a man in (I am guessing) his late 40s asked me how I liked the store, so I said "very nice! How do you like the store?", to which he replied "I like it. I really like having a job again."

The TJs I go to (Lincoln Ave.) is tiny. Maneuvering your shopping cart can be problematic when it's busy. Plus parking sucks.
That's the one I used to go to and parking does suck there.
I don't know why, I feel like ALL TJs have shitty parking. Or at least the ones I've been to. Except the one in Menlo Park, which has ample parking.
Oh man, back from my 48 hour training with Grace and it was a clusterfuck of stupid.
