::weeps because she has no TJs::
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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.

And I have two other supermarkets minutes away.
Yeah, but they don't have TJ's stuff. They don't have the spinach dip.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I don't back into grocery store parking spaces, but I will pull through if available. Because I drive a freaking whale.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
We will have a TJ's five minutes from me in 2011! Sometime.
I am very excited.
ION, I have popped 3 valerian and am drinking a glass of wine. Please, let this help me fall asleep. I am very tired.
