Jessica -- I went to TJs last night, and the shelves were pretty much picked clean -- it looks like the slushpocalypse interrupted their deliveries. It's not worth going today anyway.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hot damn, people - the midwest looks like a scene from Day After Tomorrow and there are 200 posts about Trader Joe's??
An apocalypse makes us think of yummy food?
No Trader Joe's here yet, but that will change fairly soon.
On parking: I read a study years ago about people's parking habits in big lots, and it came out, obviously, that driving around and around for a good spot ended up in more time and more stress then just parking wherever. Which is totally obvious when you hear it, and yet?
absolutely. Upon entering a parking garage, I immediately go to the top or bottom, figuring that the extra 30 seconds in the elevator is far better than the ever widening concentric circles that people do to try to get a space near the door. Unless I know that I'm going to be carrying something heavy, I don't care.

Epic? What is Epic? Where's the Squatter's? Where's Wasatch Brewing? Where's the Polygamy Porter (why have just one)?
Thanks Tom - that saves me an annoying trip downtown. Maybe I'll finally call my hairdresser instead.
My minor complaint of the day is that we had over a foot of snow, and I still didn't have a snow day.
My boss actually went to work yesterday. He sent me an email to my work address, so apparently he thought I might come in.
Oooh, today's Groupon is for a gluten-free bakery in Northern Kentucky! AND I can buy 3 Groupons! I will be set for fancy GF stuff for months!
I had an editor send me a list of bills to add to his tracking report yesterday, and then today he sent me another email complaining that I hadn't added those bills yet. FFS, buddy, we were closed yesterday!!!
