I love that table. We have one we bought from Ikea behind our couch but it holds our record player and records. Trader Joes is awesome but we don't have one close to us either! Which sucks.

I haven't read any of these though. <br />Have a good week!<br /><br />Wow a whole lot of info! Fajitas are amazing. I love your new dresser. I didn't know you could get new lids when they broke, I just throw them away. Audio books save my life I swear. I read 31 books in January (My goal is one a day!) So that's awesome.

Working within the same spaces side by side is very different. But he seems like a good guy so I'm sure we'll all settle in. <br /><br />Trader Joe's is a kind of specialty grocery store. It's not a full supermarket (it's smaller than that) and most of what they sell is under their own house brand. They have organic produce, gourmet items, fresh salads/sandwiches, great cheeses, frozen appetizers and entrees. I love it. :)Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-30868924713080847682020-02-03T10:22:08.135-05:002020-02-03T10:22:08.135-05:00Ah, Publix is the BEST. :) We typically grocery sh...Ah, Publix is the BEST. :) We typically grocery shop at the Commissary on base but if we don't go there we go to Publix.
