Get down with your bad elf.

Which now has me thinking that I should put together a page sharing all the social places I frolic for those who like that kind of thing.  Kind of like the footflare I used to have on the blosxom blog.

In the box was the Trader Joe’s Classic Cookie Collection. I tried to find a URL to show you what I’m talking about. I couldn’t find one. But I found this page of love poems to a particular Trader Joe’s store. I found this page with a brief history of Trader Joe’s, via this blog about Trader Joe’s, which reminded me of my childhood, wandering the aisles of Aldi’s the Stock Up Store.

I took a picture of what was on my desk because I wanted everyone to be impressed.

Classic Cookies
