I’m not a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. 

Obviously–I’m not a teenager, or a ninja, or a turtle. But I feel I really stray from the path of the TMNT because I don’t eat pizza very often. 

But the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles love pizza, so I’ve been thinking about them on National Pizza Day. This is a day that would make them very happy, and the Turtles have definitely made us happy throughout the years. In the early years of Chamy Chad was quite into the Turtles, and one of the first presents I ever got for him was a Turtle comforter–which we still have, and which StanLee often snuggles with in my/his office. 

(Chad’s favorite Turtle is Michelangelo, in case you’re wondering. And yes, I feel like a good spouse for knowing that). 

So I planned on celebrating National Pizza Day by reminiscing about the Turtles, and NOT having pizza.

But Fate had a different plan for us. 

Yes, I’m attempting to be amusing. I actively dislike the idea of fate, destiny, God’s will, etc., so I don’t think there was any cosmic plan for us to eat pizza today. But…when Chad came home with free leftover veggie Pizza Luce pizza (I think a Uncle Rico’s Jalapeño Popper Pizza), I couldn’t say no to it.

Yes, I had to do some soul searching and recalculation of my eating plans, but in the end my cheapness won out (l couldn’t pass up free good pizza) and WE HAD PIZZA ON NATIONAL PIZZA DAY!!

It was yummy–not super spicy as described to Chad, but noticeably spicy and definitely tasty. And did I mention free? 

Maybe the Universe does have a divine plan for my blog after all!
