Movie Day for FREE!!

I've been a big Sex and the City fan for a long time! I watched the series from beginning to end, have the CD set, have the trivia game...blah, blah, blah. I was sooo excited when they decided to do a movie and couldn't wait until it's release!

So Sunday, June 1st my girlfriends and I hit the theater to see the movie! I had earned enough free movie vouchers so I was able to 'share the wealth' with all my friends and we got in for FREE! I had a coupon for buy 2 medium sodas and get a LARGE popcorn for FREE! Score! Since I gave everyone the free movie tickets my girlfriend bought the soda (thank you, thank you) and I grabbed some smaller popcorn bags they have sitting on the counter and we all shared the popcorn! A great time was had by all!

After the movie we all went over to Michelle's house and sat around talking about the movie. I then asked the question "Ok, you guys...what character do you think you're most like?" Boy did that start a round of discussion! :) I said I was most like "CARRIE" - not necessarily from a "fashion" sense but more from her independent nature and the whole writing gig and so forth.

TAKE THIS TEST AND SEE WHO YOU'RE MOST LIKE:



How did I get the free tickets? Well, it was one of those "if you're gonna spend the money you might as well get something for it" situations. During the month of May, I think, Safeway (where I do alot of my grocery shopping) had a promotion going when you spent $40 in specially marked items you were awarded two (2) movie tickets. Well, spending $40 isn't hard to do as most of you know and each time I went to the store I would check my list of things to get and then see if one of the "specially marked items" was available. The coupon for the popcorn came from, once again, the grocery store. You know all those coupons that pop out of the dispenser when you get your receipt? I ALWAYS ask for them. If I see a pile of them sitting there from customers who haven't taken them - I ask for those also. You'd be surprised what I've gotten as a result of that.
