**Admin Vent** I rarely post about my life but I need to vent lol. As a way of celebrating the hospital I work at getting a snazzy new office (and me getting a day off, FINALLY) Austin and I decided to go on a date last night. In keeping with our new frugal mindset, we figured cheap was the way to go. Since we don’t have a printer at home, we ran over to his parent’s house to print out Jamba Juice’s Buy One, Get One Free coupon that I had linked to a few weeks ago. Being the genius that I am, I didn’t realize it had expired in august. Flop #1. We sped over to Jamba Juice anyway, being that two smoothies aren’t really all that expensive, and picked ourselves up a Citrus Squeeze and my first true love, a Strawberry Surf Rider with a calcium boost for my baby’s bones. I made sure sure sure to tell the girl at the counter to put the boost only in mine because Austin’s would go ape-crap crazy if he ended up with the ‘chalk’ in his. What did they do? Put the calcium boost in his Citrus Squeeze. Flop #2. He was not amused. We did manage to get into a very inexpensive movie, Iron Man, that was showing at one of the old theaters in town. I seriously love this place! They renovated a bit and now show old movies for $3.00 a ticket. I shoved our smoothies in my purse and smuggled them on in. Success! Once in the theater, we couldn’t help but notice a trend. We happened to be among the four people that weren’t over 50, carrying a lifetime supply of candy in loud, plastic grocery bags, making out (remember the age group we’re dealing with here), and fall into the category of… Ohh, what’s the opposite of black-treasure again? Yeah. At one point, Austin turned around and said, “PLEASE, SHUT UP!” to the grocery bag lady, which was really nice and not embarrassing at all. We take our $3.00 movies very seriously, people. The movie was pretty awesome, once I was able to block out the older couple to my right who could not keep their hands off each other. Cooties… gross. I would say our attempt at a cheap date failed (considering I was starving and ended up spending $5.00 on popcorn and even more at Taco Bell later), but Austin and I were able to get a good laugh about how absolutely ridiculous it was afterward. A movie at an old theater, chalky smoothies and a whole lot of white trash isn’t necessarily the recipe for a perfect date, but it sure was interesting! ~MNicole
