My day, let me show you it. Started with pup getting sick at school and having to haul ND out of bed to drive across town to get pick her up (yes, my dog went home sick). Then involved CRAZY PARENT who the school is seriously considering filing a cease and desist letter against via lawyer. Yeah. Can't say more than that, but this woman is batshit craxy. Then there were meetings and the glavin.
I'll nurse you back to health. I'll wear the nurse outfit!

The status is NOT quo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And then he said he wanted to spray Cell-Phone-On-Speaker lady with a water gun when I rolled my eyes at her. So that won my heart.
Oh yeah, that's a winner.

Because books.
Twenty minutes? That's like an eye-blink by California-driving-standards.
I don't live in California. And I have two other supermarkets minutes away.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I just checked, and the closest Trader Joe's to me is 117 miles away.

Probably Pikesville. But the parking is OK! And next to a B&N.

Since there's only 1 TJs in Cincy, it's common to see people who have driven from 45+ miles to shop there; their carts will be HEAPED, and they have coolers in their cars to get the perishable stuff home. It's an obsession. I'm so glad it's right around the corner from my office.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I have taken a cooler and visited TJ's before, but only because we were already in Portland or Seattle. I wouldn't make a special trip to get there.
If it were less than three hours away, maybe.

My mom and stepdad live about 25 miles from TJs, and until a few years ago, neither of them worked near it, either (my mom works nearby now). So if I was going to be visiting them, my mom would e-mail me a list of what she wanted from TJs, which led to me looking like a crazy person, buying 6 of the GIANT cans of coffee and other large quantities of stuff.
Man, I really DO miss those dolmas.

Yeah, but they don't have TJ's stuff. They don't have the spinach dip.
