Day 2... Almost out of cash!

The day started with my favorite thing ever... Baseball! So what that it was little league. My son is in the playoffs, so it was pretty decent baseball! Luckily there's no snack shack at the fields, otherwise I'd be out a lotta dollars. ("Mom, can you get me a Gatorade? And sunflower seeds? And this? And that? I won't even eat THAT but I want you to buy it anyway, because I like spending your money!") After the game, we have to pass a McDonalds on the way home. I was waiting for it.... "Mom, can I get an Egg McMuffin?" I was cringing. I didn't want to say no because I wanted a Sausage Biscuit! I mean, I know I can resist but could I turn down the kiddo who had just played 2 1/2 hours of baseball and was starving?? But... he didn't even ask. Didn't even glance at McD's! Crisis averted. So, lucky me, the morning was a cash-free start to the day!

Fast forward to the evening. I loveLOVElove going to the cemetery movies on Saturday night (http://www.cinespia.org/). Now, I know this sounds weird, and it is. The old Hollywood Forever cemetery shows totally random movies every weekend in the summer. I've seen everything from Barbarella & Easy Rider to Valley Girl & Sixteen Candles. Well, I got the email for last night and they were showing Casablanca. Casablanca! I hadn't seen it before, so this was a no-brainer.

Awesome plan, but to make the evening complete, one needs good company, so I asked mi amigo Greg to join me, and one has to bring a picnic. I was taxi-ing the kidlings around so I didn't plan ahead, thus, we ended up at Subway. I paid for dinner -$15- and Greg paid for movie admission. (Thanks, Greg!) Overall, the experience was fantastic! It was a total people watching extravaganza! Next time, I'm taking pictures, because some of te get-ups we spied cannot be explained, i.e., the old school military hat that one gal was sporting... Was she just getting in the spirit of the movie, or does she usually rock that thing? Anyhow, it seems everyone else stopped at Trader Joes for their picnics - we felt soooo uncool (not really). Overall, cemetery movie night was totally worth the price of dinner.

Still, this brings me down to... $6. Uh, yeah.
