blog referrals

A funny thing. I was just checking my blog stats. My favorite thing to click is "Who's On?" and so I did, and found out someone from Long Island City is on now. Could it be Julie Powell? The referring URL of that user was "statcount." That person was checking his/her stats at the same time I was checking mine. The covert actions of blogging. How strange.

This has nothing to do with the above, but I can't stop thinking about it. Trader Joe's is coming! I passed by the new store-to-be the other day on 14th St and half the products are on the shelves already! I could see my favorite Soy and Flax Seed Tortilla Chips from the window!! (photo quite digitized but it was worth putting here anyway) That lovely yellow and orange package for $1.89. I can't wait to buy their roasted unsalted almonds, their in-store brand of balsamic vinegar (a whole giant jug), and be reunited with a whole bunch of products I love and can't even remember.

Hey, look at this blog! I have that Buddha too. I think I like this blog a lot from the few entries I have read. She talks about Trader Joe's, Japanese Noodles, and The Shake Shack! Right up my alley of eating. She even has a countdown clock for when The Shake Shack re-opens! I have been wondering that a lot myself. (read her entry of Feb 27.) Hey her name is almost like my name. Alaina. Hmmm. Neat! I think I will be adding A Full Belly to my list of favorites.

I found it! Trader Joe's will open on St. Patrick's Day!!!!! Two days before my birthday. Well happy birthday to me. I will celebrate with many cans of artichokes in water for $1.99 each. The lowest price you can find for artichokes in water I will tell you that much! Oh yeah, and hearts of palm! That is what I used to get there too.
