this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I just ate a TJ's Fiberful bar. For mah belleh.
I eat those now, because of you. TJs should pay you a finder's fee!
Because it's a wall of bookcases and that is MAGIC.
It's actually SEVERAL pictures of walls of bookshelves!

Was it made from real women?
Exactly where my brain went. Excellent.

It was really slow for me Cass, too. And it's a whole gallery of pics of floor to ceiling bookshelves.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and their crackers are cheap as shit.
No lie. I scoff every time I see Carr's Water Crackers now. "$4.99?! I think not. Ninety nine cents at TJ's, bitch."

500 yds is not enough of a swim for me. I can feel it.

Hm, I don't think I've ever noticed the orange chicken. I'll keep an eye out.
The only real problem I have with TJs is the other customers. I'm not sure if it's something about that location, but it seems like there's lot more "I'll put my cell phone on speaker" and "I'll just leave my cart in the middle of the narrow aisle and wander away for a few minutes" solipsism than in other grocery stores.

I guess I'm glad that I don't eat frozen food anymore, aside from some vegetables, meat, sorbet, and naan. And what I make and freeze myself. Wow. Sometimes I terrify me.
My office is open tomorrow, but schools are closed, side streets may be impassable, Lake Shore Drive will stay closed, and it's going to be well below zero.
I don't particularly want to work from home another day, but I also don't want to hike the half a mile to the L and hope it's running regularly enough that I won't get frostbite.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
After an hour, I'm sure some of the adorable wears off.
She was far enough away that I wasn't bothered. When her mother carried her past my desk I noticed she had a hat shaped like a cupcake!

No, that's all TJs. Add careening kids with non-attentive parents on weekend afternoons, as well. It's the combo of the awkward real estate they occupy plus I think a super spacetastic clientele. Or entitled, I don't know. It kept me away for a long time, until their crack addicted me in a location close to me and with better parking. (Since I used to live in a huge jewish community, I'd go friday nights. It'd be almost empty, for a TJs.)
And then I moved and am back to the one with the super obnoxious people and horrid parking.
