Random Esquire

Some of you may recall this journal entry in which I said:

“Speaking of Boss, the other day, we were in the grocery store buying apples. Actually, we were buying many different things because we have bulk buying issues. However, at this point, we were in front of the apples. There were quite a few varieties to choose from. She said she likes softer apples. I said I like crisp apples. She said she doesn’t like it when a big piece breaks off when she takes a bite. I said I love it! And we stood there and stared at each other as if we’d never met. No one thinks to ask these important questions until it’s too late and you fall in love and then you’re stuck buying two different kinds of apples for eternity.”

I thought of it today when I got out a jar of peanut butter. My jar of peanut butter, actually. We have two. This is because I like crunchy peanut butter and Boss likes creamy.

What I find particularly interesting about this is that I have a personality association with people who prefer creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Am I alone here or does anyone else?
