I know! It’s still my favorite.

Well, the other day, I was at CVS and saw a new flavor of Orbitz – “Mint Mojito”. I have always been intrigued by the mojito, but had never had one, so I decided to try the gum. Well, now I believe I am officially addicted. The flavor at the beginning is a little weird, but after a little while it mellows out into almost an herbal mint tea flavor. YUM!

I love the Mint Mojito Gum! I bought it about a month ago. When I popped it in my mouth the first thing I thought of was making a Mint Mojito Cheesecake, don’t know if it exists yet, and haven’t made it yet, but man it sounds good!

I’ve never seen Mint Mojito… time to move back to NYC. I am a fan of the Cinnamint, which is seriously out of character for me. I am a traditional peppermint kind of gal. I love that Orbit gum has good staying power.

My impluse buy tends toward the Raffaello – coconut cousin to the Ferrero Rocher. delish!

The next time I find the Mint Mojito flavor, I’ll mail one to you.

I flew on Northwest once, like, 5 years ago, I think, and I evidently racked up enough frequent flier miles that every year or so, they send me this “quick! use up your miles before they expire! here, sign up for free magazines!” and I end up with subscriptions to a bizarre array of magazines, like The Economist, The Advocate, and Latina. If only I were a gay Latina economist, I’d be all set.

I have a serious Orbit habit. And I don’t feel a damn bit guilty about it either, because my dentist encourages her patients to chew it. It has crazy little enzymes in it that eat the bacteria off your teeth.

I haven’t tried the Mint Mojito, though. The Sweet Mint is my very favorite. My girls like the Orange one, though.

And I also buy way too many trashy magazines. Our local library has a huge table in the downstairs lobby that is for people to drop off magazines they are done with. The other day, I got a Cosmo, a Good Housekeeping, a Family Circle, an Elle, a couple of Martha Stewarts, and a Glamour. The oldest one was from last month. Oh! And my husband found two Buffy novels! That was a good library day :)

By the way, the w key on my laptop is broken so I only get a W half the time I press it, hence all the weird spelling errors above.

It can get crazy here, too. There are two in the city – the one we go to is in South of Market and has a pretty good sized garage. The other one has a smaller parking lot and there is literally a line of cars down the street for a parking spot. There is a guy who stands at the entrance to the parking lot and tells people where to park. Once you get inside, everyone is seriously cranky. Needless to say, I don’t shop at that Trader Joe’s unless I have to. I hear that the Trader Joe’s in Daly City (hich is just outside San Francisco) is huge and un-croded. I am thinking of beginning to shop there.

At the (one and only) NYC TJ’s, the wait is so long to check out, I probably put a good $20+ of impulse buys in my cart, just because I am standing there staring at them for SO LONG. Seriously, I end up with chocolate, beef jerky, fruit leather; you name it.

I should really write a post on the NYC TJ’s because it is so crazy. I have to go there with Dave, so that he can get in line the minute we get in the door and I can go do the shopping while he stays in line. And I still end up waiting with him for the last 15 or so minutes.
