"Hey Honey," my wife says...."let's go see a movie"...Alright, I think, cool. We haven't done this in a while due to the kids. As I have said before my son is diabetic and we don't feel safe leaving him with any 14 year old babysitter. Our kids are 8 (girl) and 9 (son). So we don't get out alone too often.
We have some friends with two little kids, 2 and 3, I think. Nicest peeps. So the wives decide to trade off, we watch their kids, they watch out kids. She is diabetic too, so she knows what's what with that. Anyway. they come over, swim in the pool and chat for a while. We give em our cell # and lay $40 on the counter for pizza.
So I remember this deal, dinner and a movie....been a while, but this seems familiar. We go to Miguel's in Point Loma. Good Mexican food, decent bar. Carnitas for me, Lobster burrito for the wife. I'd recommend it to anyone. Midori margaritas, cuz we are living it up, right. Bill comes, $40.00 with tip, for food and drinks. Not bad, I'm thinking. Sushi dinner is usually double that with the kids along.
Wife brought the paper, so we are trying to find a movie to see. Matrix, Dumberer, Charlie's Angels....so we settle on "The Italian Job" since a friend recommended it. We leave Miguel's and head to the theater. Bought our tickets....$9.50 each. Wow, I thought movies were like $6.00, but whatever. Shoots a hell of a big hole in a $20.00 The flick doesn't start for 40 minutes so we go get a couple of beers around the corner....there goes another $8.00.
At least parking was free!
Movie was about a gold heist and the gang that did it. Lots of action, I give it two thumbs up. Anyhow we get home a little after 10:00. Thank our friends and help them get loaded up to go home.
As we are cleaning up I notice the $3.00 left on the counter....damn expensive pizza I guess. My wife notices the Oxyclean container out...hmmm???? Bed time...."sorry honey, I am too full" Yeah, I know, figgered as much. :( Oh well.
Morning time...head over to the couch to sit down to read the Sunday paper....Oh, That's why the Oxy clean was out.....Their little guy wanted to decorate our couch with a crayon. That's so pretty. :rolleyes: I am talking about the back side of the couch. Right in the middle.....It is not against the wall, it shows nice and big between the dinette table and the Family room area...Add on recovering back side of couch.....$400.
Dinner $40
Pizza $37
Drinks $8
Movies $19
Couch $400
Total: $504.00
From now on our couch will be know as The Italian Job. What can ya do???? :confused: Be careful of Oxyclean, I guess it can take the color right out of some fabrics.....
