It's been a while since I've posted!
Today was a really good day! It started out much like a typical Saturday: I woke up slightly later than usual, watched some cartoons (Yes, I still do that), checked FaceBook, etc.
But then, my wife and I went on a walk to the nearby mall. There's a Whole Foods market on the premises, so we got what has become one of my favorite things there: freshly ground peanut butter. It's really good. It's just peanuts, and maybe a little salt, and the best part is that it doesn't have much of a difference in cost compared to "regular" peanut butter! After we got home, we split a peanut butter and jam sandwich (homemade strawberry jam, to be precise).
On our way home, we saw another grocery store, Trader Joe's, that has great pizza crust. We decided that we would be having pizza for dinner. I didn't know it until we had decided that, but I was really craving pizza.
Later, we went to get one of the toppings that we needed for dinner (pepperoni). While we were there, we noticed that clementines were on sale for about half their usual price. We got some. Clementines are delicious.
As we left to do this shopping and other errands, we noticed that California's oldest theater, which isn't usually open to the public, had its doors wide open as part of Monterey's "Christmas at the Adobes" thing that they do each year. We mentally crossed our fingers, hoping that it would still be open when we got home. It was. Apparently, you're supposed to sign up for a tour or something, but we explained to the volunteer that was there that we always pass by, and we've always wanted to see the inside, and he said something along the lines of "Just walk in like you belong there. No one will know the difference." It was pretty awesome. Apparently, they did plays there as recently as 10 years ago. They allowed people into the lobby area, but the theater part itself is currently too dangerous to allow anyone to enter. Apparently, it would cost around $4 million to repair, according to the volunteer that told us, and the state just doesn't have that kind of money. It was still a great experience.
When we got home, I helped make the pizza. I sliced the mushrooms and shredded the cheese. It was so delicious that, even though we were both not hungry anymore after two pieces, it was hard to stop eating it.
I also got to spend the entire day with my wife, which is always a good thing.
