Glad to have you posting again. That was so funny!! I like the Cheese on Youdi(??) head. Oh, and your singing was the best I have ever heard. You did not miss a note.

Ridiculously thoughtful. Kudos to your husband on that one. Sorry about the cheese, maybe you shouldn't place it on the dogs' heads if you want to eat it?

Unfortunately Trader Joe's has no intentions of coming to Texas anytime soon. But you COULD sign the petition:
