my dear little sister volunteered to babysit last night, so i took my husband on an impromptu date for some "quality time". [being the babysitter-challenged parents that we are, this doesn't happen often. hence, an entire post about going to a movie.] thanks, sara!
[being the cheapskates that we are] we stopped at costco first to pick up some fro yo and a 7lb. bag of m&m's*. man, that place was bustling. who knew friday nights at costco were so popular? spending too much time in line at the costco food court meant that we didn't spend enough time in line at the theater, so we got to sit right up front. you know the seats where you have to physically move your head from one side to other just to see the actors' entire face. on the bright side, i didn't need my glasses for this one.
it was the opening premier of iron man, and the theatre was packed with high school kids [being the intolerant agoraphobians that we are, we haven't been to a movie on friday night since, ever] and they cheered and catcalled at all the right moments. [being my 3rd decade of life, i haven't been to a pep rally for at least 10 years.]
it was good fun. i really did like the movie for someone who's not a big MARVEL fan. maybe it was the uplifting, heroic nature of the film or maybe it was just robert downey, jr. [being that i love him.]
*i only had one m&m, mom. seriously, one.
