Welcome to 2.0!

Ever have that nasty feeling that you're watching your life speed skate past you?

Yup, welcome to the club!

People think its funny that I'm freaking out about getting old at 26 (I even think its funny), but the truth is, I'm not even in the ballpark of where I want to be, or where I planned to be...and I'm not just talking about economically. I'm talking about the whole shebang; financially, socially, spiritually, emotionally, logistically, geographically, educationally (is that a word?)...ok, you get my point.

One thing that has become abundantly clear to me over the last couple years, is that you really have to be your own white knight, though personally I've always preferred cowboys...but I digress.

So what is a 6th year community college student in the midst of a quarter-life crisis to do? Get a Harley, a word processor and a 100 piece Craftsman tool kit. Between riding, writing and wrenching I should accomplish something productive...right?

Trader Joe's

    After one trip to Trader Joe's, I swore I would never go to a "normal" grocery store again. Whether you are trying to eat healthier or not, it is the most amazing place to shop for food...and contrary to popular belief, items are competatively priced. I can walk out with more groceries, for less money than when I'm shopping at Safeway or Raley's.

    The variety and selection of specialty foods is a huge draw for me. I try to eat organic whenever possible (currently about 75% of my diet) and they sell the most delicious selection of organic produce that I have ever tasted. Other organics include; dairy, bread, cereal and meat, just to name a few.

    Other amazing options include vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and my personal favorite...free range.  There's something incredibley satisfying about buying a product that comes from a place where the animal's quality of life is a priority.

    If you don't have any special dietary preference, they have an amazing selection of "normal" groceries; dairy, eggs, bread, produce, meats, cheeses, with less additives than most commercial brands.

    If you don't shop there yet, try it, You'll thank me.'
